VEGAN QUEEN
fall/winter 2008/9

Chic and Eco Friendly Bags

The eco friendly New York based designer of Vegan Queen and former model Evelina Zdunczyk asked herself if it is possible to create environmentally safe AND chic at the same time and created handbags for taking "green action": the bags are made of organic rubber, recycled materials and organic cotton.

In 2007 the vegetarian Evelina founded Vegan Queen because she was unsatisfied with the upscale accessories available on the market.

"Vegan Queen handbags exude eco-luxury and lead the emerging trend toward socially responsible shopping. Changing the way the fashion industry sees luxury and the way we see eco-friendly, no longer are the two mutually exclusive." Vegan Queen

Evelina Zdunczyk was born in Poland to a family of musicians and performers. Evelina expresses her creativity through a variety of channels.
