A Certified Vegan Purse?

Who would have guessed that a trip to Sam Moon could turn out to be so animal friendly??? So, I needed a new dark brown purse. Best place to go? Sam Moon. If you have never been to Sam Moon, you really need to put it on your Bucket List ASAP, your life will not be complete without a visit to paradise! Can you imagine purses and jewelry everywhere? So many that you can't even see straight and it's like totally sensory overload? It's kind of like a purse/jewelry version of Forever21, but more organized.

My mission for one dark brown purse turned into 2 purses. And unfortunately it wasn't a buy one get one free situation :( Here is the brown one online (it looks different online). And now in person:

Now for the purse that threatened abandonment. So I walk by this purse, and she instantly clings to me. I say to myself "$36? But it's really comfy and looks like me..." and then I walk away. Somehow I end up next to the purse again, and this time I'm telling myself "Self- are you freaking crazy??? There's women out there that spend hundreds on a purse, and this is only $36, plus I'm totally in love." I waffle back in forth for a bit, and then the purse threatens me by trying to put a guilt trip on me for touching her, showing appreciation toward her, and then turning her back into the wild jungle of crazy women looking for 'the one.' It was like worse than a child abandonment situation, and she left me no choice... Her name is Chloë:

I don't know why, but the second pic looks 2-toned, and I promise that Chloë is no 2-toned girl, it must've been the lighting... And her fraternal twin cousin online looks yellow, it's so weird. But she came with a tag that says Certified Vegan, and something like there was no testing that's been done on animals, and that the pieces are not made from animals.

Have you ever had a purse just jump 

onto your arm and refuse to part?

Apparently it's one of many problems that I continue to run into...
