I’m so happy with my bag. The fabric is so soft and strong. It easily fits all my essentials. I’m thrilled 😊

I purchased this purse because I wanted to buy from a company that uses plant based textiles that do not harm animals or the environment, I can't say everything I own follows this but I at least want to start taking steps in this direction. Velvet Heartbeat shows so much transparency with where the fabrics are sourced and the companies history I really admire this. With my purse I received a handwritten note which was super nice! I was a little worried after purchasing the bag that maybe I should've ordered the larger size that maybe my prescription sunglasses case would not fit as it is a bit bulky but indeed it does. All my day to day necessities fit. The floral pocket on the inside is perfect for my lip gloss/chapstick. The bag color is starting to get more of a worn in two tone effect with use which I love! I love the timeless look of this bag, thank you!

I love this bag. Looks so expensive and like leather. It's great being able to be ethical and fashionable when i wear it 💫💫

Love my pink pineapple leather bag🍍 Now I have a corn leather and a pineapple one and I’m keen to get the whole plant based leather collection. They are both wearing really well and I love the scrap fabric interior.(It’s a treat to peek inside for the first time to see which fabric your bag has 😻 ) Love that they’re handmade in New Zealand. Super proud to wear them and I’m very impressed with the quality - thank you so much for another awesome bag!

I haven’t bought myself a purse since 2019. I’ve been on the hunt for years for something minimal and lightweight, yet stylish and elegant. Something I can dress up for date night or wear casually when I’m walking around. This purse does exactly that for me. This Caramel color is so beautiful, when I saw it, I knew it I had to have it. I bought this as birthday gift to myself and I love it! Been using it everyday since the day I bought it. So thankful I found Velvet Heartbeat and happy that they handcraft these amazing vegan designs. Excellent customer service, so easy to contact and speak with! Thank you so much!

The bag and purse were perfect. The highest quality and beautifully made. Purchasing was easy and communication was brilliant.
Our package arrived quickly and was stunningly presented.
All in all this was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Thank you

I bought the plus size Reese pouch in gingerbread tan to go in my Sofia espresso bag to hold all my little bits and pieces and it is absolutely perfect! The material is so soft and supple, the colour is beautiful, it has not marked at all and the small zipped pocket inside is such a nice little bonus. High quality and super useful!

I bought the Sofia bag in espresso, queen size about 9 months ago and am so impressed with the quality and how well it has held up! The colour is gorgeous, the adjustable strap is perfect, all the details and the material just feel and look like quality, and I love the inside pocket! I don't think I'll need to replace it for a long time but when I do I'll be coming back to Velvet Heartbeat for sure!

I absolutely love my new bag, it’s just the right size so you don’t stash too much “stuff” and beautifully made. Thank you so much. Love being able to shop local for vegan handmade products.

I have the Sofia in obsidian and it is by far the best bag I have ever owned. As a long time vegan I have tried a lot of vegan bags and this one exceeds any others by a mile. The corn leather is so soft and supple but it is so hard wearing. I have had my bag for nearly a year and it still looks brand new. It doesn't mark or scratch. It is also lovely and light, I can happily wear it cross body without ever getting a sore shoulder. I love the floral fabric lining and the handy sip pocket. It is also the perfect size for day to day use. Buy this bag, you won't regret it!

I cannot explain how absolutely perfect my bag is, it’s exactly what I have always wanted in handbag. Now only is it gorgeous and made of cactus leather, it’s made by such an awesome human. I couldn’t be happier ❤️

Very nice bag.

I was looking at purchasing a Velvet Heartbeat bag for a while because of course with the price it is a considered purchase. I am sooo delighted with it. It's stunningly made, a bit edgy, and super soft. I got it in black pebble and I want another! Cute floral material inside zipper pouch. Will definitely make another purchase, no more Matt and Nat bags for me (the quality is no where near as good as this). Love that its NZ made too. Thanks so much!

Love this hair clip. Works so well. I did think it was a sage green from the photos but it’s actually a pretty soft grey, which is also really nice.

I purchased this bag as my daughter had one in a different colour that she's super pleased with. It's soft and smooth to touch while keeping its shape, quality craftmanship and versatile. Ordering was a breeze and loved the personal and efficient customer service. Most impressed all round :)
