Ethical Clothing Brands

Veganism is a lifestyle choice that seeks to exclude all forms of animal exploitation and cruelty. Vegans do not eat meat, fish, eggs or dairy products. However, there are many other ways in which vegans can be kind to animals and the environment – including their wardrobe. Many people who adopt a vegan lifestyle also go on to become vegetarians because their clothing choices have changed as well as their diet choices.

The majority of the world’s major designers have become fur-free.

Designers who have stopped using fur include Armani, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Miu Miu and Prada as well as Gucci, Alexander McQueen and Burberry. Yves Saint Laurent continues its commitment to fur-free fashion by working with The Humane Society International (HSI) on a number of initiatives including campaigns to end the sale of dog and cat meat in China.

Many furs are imported from China and other Asian countries that raise their animals in horrendous conditions.

It's no secret that animal welfare is a big issue in the fashion industry. Many furs are imported from China and other Asian countries that raise their animals in horrendous conditions. Animals are kept in cramped cages, sometimes for their entire lives, with no food or water. They're often skinned alive because it's less expensive than killing them first (although this process also kills any bacteria on the fur).

It's important to remember that although veganism can seem extreme at first glance, there are many aspects of your life where you can make more cruelty-free choices—and doing so will save animals' lives too!

Here are some vegan brands that stock vegan shoes: Stella McCartney, Beyond Skin, Matt and Nat, Will’s Vegan Shoes, Melissa Shoes and Mooshoes.

It is also a good idea to make sure that your new vegan clothes haven’t been treated with animal products by checking the care labels.

The next thing to look for when shopping for vegan organic clothing is a care label that says "vegan." If you're really lucky, the brand has been vetted by PETA from an animal welfare perspective and is authorised to carry the "PETA-approved vegan" logo, which you can keep an eye out for.

It's also a good idea to make sure that your new vegan clothes haven't been treated with animal products by checking the care labels. Some materials will naturally repel water and dirt in much the same way as leather does, but it's best not to take any chances!

Instead of cow leather, vegan fashion uses alternatives such as microfibre leather or cork leather as well as other non-animal materials like cotton, hemp and linen.

Vegan fashion doesn't just mean avoiding leather. Instead of cow leather, vegan fashion uses alternatives such as microfibre leather or cork leather as well as other non-animal materials like cotton, hemp and linen.

When you buy a pair of vegan shoes, they are free from all the animal products that are used in traditional shoe manufacturing.

Vegan fashion is no longer just an option for people who want to avoid using animal products, it makes sense from a financial perspective too.

Vegan fashion is not just for vegans. People interested in living a more sustainable lifestyle, animal lovers, environmentalists and anyone else who wants to save money on clothing can also enjoy the benefits of vegan fashion.

Conclusion

At first glance, vegan fashion may seem like an expensive luxury, but when you look at the bigger picture it makes sense to buy clothes that don’t harm animals or the environment. By buying certified vegan leather shoes and clothing from high-quality brands like Stella McCartney, Beyond Skin and Matt and Nat, you can feel good about your purchase knowing that it supports animal rights while also looking great on your feet.
