Vegan Alternatives for Fur and Leather - Can high fashion be cruelty free?

Can high fashion be cruelty free?



This is a question that is terribly easy to answer in 2015. A vegan lifestyle not only includes avoiding cruelty to animals, but embraces the world as a whole. Sustainable living is key and making choices about fashion is easy.


No need for gruesome fur farms in the world now, there are so many designer faux fur options.

"I have always loved the innocence of animals since I was a little girl. I feel that they are such intelligent creatures that have instincts and emotions just like all of us. That’s all the motivation I needed".
