Surprisingly [or not so surprisingly] there are a ton of options when it comes to vegan backpacks. And, not just brands that have released one or two vegan versions, but entire vegan backpack brands with countless styles in a large amount of colors from classic black to bright blue to candy apple red.
Whether you’re a minimalist who only knows the color black [looking at myself here], you’re drawn towards earth tones, or you think every single thing on your body should be a different color, I promise you’ll find a vegan backpack that is perfect for you.
