Help me with this dilemma?

I have been vegan for maybe a year now. My 19th birthday is coming up soon and my parents told me I could pick out gifts I want from them. I really need a new bag that I can fit everything in and found one that has everything I want. It is a duffel, made from army green canvas material, has contrasting brown straps, can fit my laptop + more, is made by a company who is very ecologically friendly and makes great products, BUT it has small patches of leather on it! I have tried finding another bag that I love as much but there is nothing: I am way too picky about aesthetic design and fashion. This is the only bag that meets my functional needs and desires for looks. I don't know what to do. I want the bag but I don't know if I will always feel bad or like a hypocrite for getting it, as it will be the only non-vegan thing I wear. So tell me your opinion, do you think I have reason enough to get it? Or should I just attempt to shove my fashionista thoughts to the back of my mind and get some other less appealing bag?
