Susan Nichole produces cruelty-free designer handbags and wallets primarily, but also totes and tee shirts as well as other products from time to time. As a vegetarian and someone who does not purchase leather or animal-derived materials when possible, I love that "all Susan Nichole handbags are made from 100% recyclable, vegan materials and contain absolutely no animal products. Such a direction gives women the option to carry beautiful designer handbags that are trendy and fashionable, yet maintain their animal and earth friendly principals."

There are usually at least three or four photos for each product at the website. Different angles are photographed. For the handbags there is also typically a photograph or two where a model is holding or wearing the handbag on her shoulder so one can get a better idea of the size of the handbag before purchasing.

Susan Nichole Vegan Handbags: Samples

Every now and again Susan Nichole has what is called a "Sample Sale." Samples are items they feel do not meet exceptional standards perhaps due to slight discoloration, extra stitching, or other slight imperfections. These items are sold at heavily discounted prices.

I bought my Cassidy in Green as a sample and cannot find any imperfections, but it was less than $30 and I am very happy with it. I've gotten tons of compliments for my new handbag and have only had it a couple weeks now.

It is an army green shade with a colorful design sewn in the front reminiscent of dragonflies. The main compartment of the purse is not huge, but large enough to fit my wallet, a couple small lotions and hand sanitizers, a small notepad, a small brush, and several other items. On the outside of the handbag are two zippered compartments with another zippered compartment inside. There are also two open compartments inside, one of which fits my cell phone perfectly!

The bag's material is a very soft pleather or soft faux suede. The handbag came with two matching interchangeable straps: one is braided or woven and round in shape while the other is flat and adjustable.

Weekly Giveaways and More

This is a generous company. Every Thursday at 10 pm EST on Facebook and Twitter Susan Nichole gives away wallets and handbags to lucky winners. Usually there are several pieces of merchandise given away.
