A New Line of Designer Vegan or (Cruelty Free Rather) Handbags from Cornelia Guest

I recently read on the peta blog about a new line of “cruelty free” handbags from Cornelia Guest, daughter of fashion icon C.Z Guest.

Cornelia Guest. I love the name Cornelia.

With mother, the famed C.Z Guest.

Cornelia seems to have been an animal lover her whole life, with nine dogs, a donkey and a tortoise, a line of vegan cookies and now a beautiful new line of handbags. I am a fan.

I read an interview with her in which the interviewer asks “what would you like to achieve before you die?”

she responds:

“To let the world know that there is an alternative, and animals suffer horrifically, and there is no need for it.”

Inspiring.

“Every day I learn about resourcing fabrics,” she says. “It’s like being in a candy store. I sit on the floor of these warehouses and sift through different sorts of corks, PVCs and faux leathers in every possible texture. So much of it is recycled.
