Summer Must-Have: Angela Roi Vegan Morning Cross-Body Bag

Happy summer sixteen! I know, the summer solstice isn’t for another three weeks, but Memorial Day weekend already happened and I am 100% sure I could fry an egg on the roof of my car – it’s officially summer to me. With that said, let’s talk summer must-haves shall we? During this time of the year there are a few things crucial to your inner peace and well-being, for example: a SPF face primer, cold pressed coconut oil, an undetectable flask to hide your booze in at music festivals, and a cute meets functional crossbody! Of course, one big enough to fit the undetectable flask in. That’s a major key. This is where the Morning Cross-Body by Angela Roi comes in to play in a major way.

The Korean design duo (and adorable couple, #relationshipgoals), Angela Lee and Roi Lee, founded their brand Angela Roi after Angela’s idea of crafting luxurious yet cruelty-free handbags. The two began to build what is now a fabulous collection of non-leather handbags that are not only pretty to look at, but a portion of the proceeds go to the brand’s official partner, the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). Yay philanthropic fashion!

Each bag is crafted using vegan friendly EPUL (Excellent Polyurethane Leather), gold plated hardware, and is available in a delectable variety of colors from a modest ash gray to my personal favorite, a vibrant mustard. Perfect for day to night transitions, the crossbody features front and back zipped compartments and an easy access magnetic flip closure. Each bag retails for $135.00 USD and can be purchased online at angelaroi.com.
