Why Vegan Fashion?

Why choose vegan fashion?

Vegan fashion refers to clothing and accessories which do not use any animal-derived materials, such as leather, wool, silk, fur, down and any other animal-derived materials. Vegan fashion can be made from a variety of materials, including plant-based materials such as cotton, hemp, bamboo, and synthetic materials like polyester and nylon. Contemporary vegan fashion is increasingly taking advantage of recent innovations in sustainable bio-based materials science to move away from synthetic materials and become the most sustainable option, surpassing even traditional “natural” animal-based materials.

There are many reasons why people choose to wear vegan fashion. Some people do it for ethical reasons, as they believe that it is wrong to exploit animals for clothing. Others do it for environmental reasons, as animal-based materials can be harmful to the environment.

• It is cruelty-free. Vegan fashion does not involve the use of any animal products, so you can be sure that you are not contributing to the suffering of animals.

• It is sustainable. Many vegan fashion brands use sustainable materials and manufacturing practices, which can help to reduce your environmental impact.

Vegan fashion is becoming increasingly popular, as more and more people become aware of the ethical and environmental issues surrounding animal-based materials and fast fashion. There are now a number of vegan fashion brands available, and many mainstream brands are also offering vegan options.
