Novella Royale Mister Stud Bowler Bag
When I think of eco-friendly handbags, I usually think of organic cotton shopping bags, woven straw totes, or pop-top messenger bags. However, the truth of the matter is that designers are becoming more and more creative with eco-friendly materials these days. I have seen super soft microfiber bags made from recycled soda bottles, I would have never guessed that they were actually eco-friendly! But after looking at all of the eco-friendly handbags out there, I never thought I would see a leather handbag that was eco-friendly as well. Let’s face it, leather is one of the most eco-unfriendly materials out there. So what happens if you simply cannot live without leather handbags, but care greatly about the environment as well?
Introducing the Mister Stud Bowler Bag! This studded beauty if one of five styles currently available from a Los Angeles-based company called Novella Royale. So how is this leather handbag eco-friendly? The leather actually comes from recycled vintage leather jackets. Plus each bag is handmade and lined with organic cotton. No two handbags are the same, as they each have their own unique shade and distressing. How cool is that? I am definitely adding a bag from this designer to my wish list!
The Novella Royale Mister Stud Bowler Bag measures 11″ x 9″ x 5″ and it retails for $584. Find it here at Pink Mascara.

I want it in the black.
Not for $600. Maybe $200.
Those clothes are so tragic. The bag is just okay.
Since this bag is vegan, I will stay away.. .. it probably wont last.
$600 for a fake leather bag from a designer I never heard of? No way.
I like how it’s an eco friendly line, but I wouldn’t spend that much on a non-leather bag.
What colors does this come in? The brown, black and is that blue?
This bag is so hot
Very cute, and hello, it’s vegan!
This bag reminds me of Marc Jacobs Sweet Punk Line
I love this purse!
I saw this bag the other day. It looks amazing.
Not really familiar with this brand. I think $600 is alot for a recycled bag.
I like that this bag is made of recycled material. That’s very neat.
What are you guys talking about? This bag is made of REAL leather!
It’s eco-friendly because it is made from vintage leather jackets.
This bag isn’t vegan, the designers were just being creative by
giving something old a new life. I’m confused about where you guys got
the idea that this bag isn’t made of leather. Did I word something
wrong?
Stubbles – It comes in Black, Brown, White, Tan, and yes… Blue.
=)
I love this bag and the studs are adorable!
I think the coolest part is that it is made from vintage leather jackets!! Great post BRS!!
