Kipling Debuts Vegan Leather Minnie Mouse Backpacks

This week, accessories brand Kipling launched a limited-edition Minnie Mouse collection, complete with vegan leather accents. The Disney line, a follow-up to Kipling’s Mickey Mouse collection that launched earlier this year, is priced from $39 to $189 and features 23 items, including backpacks, lunch sacks, wristlets, pencil cases, and wristlets with colorful Minnie Mouse-inspired prints. The Disney character’s iconic bow is a focal point of a vegan-leather wrapped crossbody bag, while a round case—also made with vegan leather—showcases images of both Mickey and Minnie in a hologram graphic on the front. The collection also includes convertible backpacks that can be worn as crossbody bags and a lunch bag with an insulated interior that evokes a ‘90s feel. On the ground at Disney, the company has made several vegan-friendly changes across its parks, including launching the Plant-Based Cuisine pamphlet at Disney World this month to help guests navigate the Magic Kingdom’s vegan options.
