Check out the brand new AW23 fashion and accessories from these leading vegan-friendly brands
The colder months are coming which means it’s almost time to ditch the swimsuits and throw on your favourite winter jumper.
We know that footwear and bags can be made from animal skins, but there may be some clothing lurking in your wardrobe that you might not realise isn’t vegan-friendly.
Wool and feathers can be used to make your jumpers or to pad out your puffer jackets. These unsustainable materials contribute towards the suffering and death of millions of animals each year.
Thankfully, there are a myriad of ethical and sustainable fashion designers using vegan-friendly materials to create their garments.
To keep you cosy during the winter months we’ve rounded up our favourite vegan clothes and accessories to keep you ahead of the trends throughout AW23.
