Previously I brought a handbag, now I have a matching purse. The quality and care put into both items are top quality and it's an affordable brand. I can't recommend Velvet Heartbeat enough! I spent months looking for the perfect handbag, something small but not too small, and the little card wallet I got fits perfectly I can still fit my keys, lip balm and phone in

I am so happy with the craftsmanship and quality of the cactus leather of this bag.
I became vegan 4.5 years ago. Regrettably, I always loved the look and feel of animal leather and now I can purchase a plant based leather that is just as beautiful and hardy without guilt.
More so, the environment isn’t suffering as the company ensures sustainability and ethics around their products. Win, win, win. Thanks! I’ll be buying more.

I love my new cactus leather belt bag. The size is perfect. adjustable strap is super handy. The colour is true to the picture. It feels great carrying something sustainably made by small NZ company that also looks chic. I am a fan of Velvet Heartbeat. This was my third purchase from them!

The colour wasn't quite what I expected (toffee), darn computer settings, but overall I'm very impressed and get so many compliments with about my bag. Love the size, I can get a comfortable amount of things in my bag (like kids wallets as well as mine) with room to spare. This is my second purchase from velvet heartbeat.

The best customer service! The friendliest service! The best socks!

Great belt! Beautifully constructed.
I usually find belts uncomfortable but this one was actually rather comfortable!

I used this wallet for travel and it was the perfect choice. I had two cards and my driver's license. I used the zip pocket for my 'back up card' and was really handy for keeping things like train or attraction tickets safe. The wallet is small enough to not eat all the space in my bag (or coat pocket) and nothing falls out. Beautiful and practical!

She really loves it! Thanks so much.

I just love the Pinatex material and unique design of the Sevigny bag. I love the colour Washed Indigo. Velvet Heartbeat make top quality handbags. I have three others. Thank you VH.

I got a queen bag in espresso and oh my god it's the bag I've been looking for! A beautiful vintage touch to it with the two tone at the bending of the fabric and a simple style that goes with anything. Cute spikey studs and good sturdy zip too. Hardware colour isn't bright gold, it's very fitting with the vintage look with a slight brass tone. I had a minor issue with the bag (no one would notice but me!) And it was rectified within 2 days with Suzie sending me a courier slip to return it so she could fix it. Brilliant customer service! It's my second VH bag and I'll only shop here for bags now. Love love love it!

Alia - Cactus Leather Saddle Bag

The leather is so smooth and buttery, you would never know it wasn’t calfskin! Mom needed a replacement for an old crossbody - this one is uncomplicated and elegant. Arrived quickly and packaged with care. Will definitely be ordering in the future!

I love these tote bags. Not too big or too small. Great!

Love my Sofia bag, the corn leather is amazing quality, and it’s a perfect size. Thank you for making such a lovely, ethical product.

Just what I wanted (I actually swapped to a Sevigny after this purchase by contacting VH Direct - fits my headphones perfectly and is very well made.
