As most of you know I am big on animal rescue and care on here.
I am looking for a purse big enough for a tablet,wallet, glasses and odds and ends but not to big that it looks like a suitcase. Maybe a shoulder strap as well.
I want it to be made of fabric not leather. I know where some of this leather is coming from,from the lives of cat,dog and other animals from the sites I visit and protest...
I would like it to have outside pockets for easy to get to...hope you know what I mean.
Any suggestions as to where I could look or a brand out there?
Thank you in advance. gail

I would go to amazon and do a search for women's canvas messenger bag or canvas cross body bag.

Baggallini and Travelon make all kinds of great bags like you're looking for. Shop their brands and look.

Pretty much any department or fashion store in the UK has heaps of fabric/canvas/faux leather bags. I would imagine it'd be fairly easy to find one on a shopping trip or by browsing online. I prefer to actually hold and touch them because sometimes they're heavier than you expect!

Kipling makes durable bags in synthetic woven fabric. I think I've got one Kipling tote that's twenty years old.
I've seen Baggalini at Marshall's and DSW. Fabric totes Can be found from Walmart to upscale. Don't forget to check Zulily.
Big Buddha is another animal friendly brand, if you want trendy. Not sure if they have fabric, they have pleathers.

Yes these are what I am looking for...thank you ladies...I may order 2 ...One Volt said and the one Nic said but still will look up the others as well.
I also like to see them in person, I wanted it to be light weight as well.
My daughter pins on the bling pins on the outside of hers, she has one that is not my style but it is fabric that I liked.
NanaKate, I did check out the Vera ones at the store here but it was not what I wanted,they had more of a print style there, but thank you.
Thank you so much.

I just bought 2 canvas totes from Baggu that were super cheap ($26 each!) that I'm using as purses this summer. I got this one for when I wear navy and this one for when I wear black; those are the two base colors in my wardrobe. There are no exterior pockets, but the one interior pocket holds my reading glasses, sunglasses, phone and keys. |

Maybe Cinda B? It's a direct competitor to Vera Bradley. (Both are local companies) I'm really 'over' Vera and now own a few Cinda B items. Since I'm local, I do shop the outlet sales. cindab.com/ |

I have a couple of Le Sportsac bags and totes. They're not cheap but they're easy to clean and hold up really well. Sometimes you can find them discounted at sites like 6pm.com.

Etsy is where I've purchased my fabric purses. I have a gray/white chevron and a bright yellow one, both in "hobo" type styles. A benefit of buying a handmade purse is some sellers are willing to make small changes (like lengthening the straps or adding zippers) for just a small price increase; so you can get exactly what you want/need for your purse.

I was going to say Vera Bradley as well. Or Cath Kidston if they're available in your area. She has a lot of PVC cotton bags.

I had a super cute kimono kitty canvas bag from Etsy. Can't remember the store, but it was a great purse- the seller was from Seattle. I know if you google kimono kitty she will come up.
