Wednesday's Work-Appropriate Bag: Valentino Fabric

I was alerted to Valentino's line of fabric bags from a reader. Thank you! Though most of the fabric line of bags have leather handles or are made from silk, there is one item that is 100% cotton -- the black bucket fabric bag adorned on the side with a large matching black bow. I'm not sure how I feel about the black bow in a work setting, though I think it reaches the level of office appropriate.

The bag comes in a medium and a large size. The large is pictured in its entirety; the bow of the medium is pictured. The medium bag is 11.7" x 10.9" x 5.3", which I think should be considered large; and the large bag is 17.9" x 10.9" x 5.1", which I think should be considered extra-large. Both bags are on sale, 40% off: the medium is $657 (originally $1,095) -- here; and the large is $837 (originally $1,395) -- here.

Is satin considered vegan? I think that this Valentino is also cute: http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod61460105&eItemId=prod61460105&searchType=SALE&parentId=cat980731&icid=&rte=%252Fcommon%252Fstore%252Fcatalog%252Ftemplates%252FET1.jhtml%253FN%253D605%252B4294967189%2526st%253Ds

Also, Stella McCartney is having a sale on her website. Can you tell that I am bored at work?

Satin can be vegan, depending on what it is made from -- the most common materials used to make satin are silk, nylon, and polyester. Obviously satin made from silk isn't vegan, but other satin is.
