Shop Like You Give a Damn
This EU-based marketplace offers a wide range of vegan products and brands. They feature fully vegan brands, such as Prev and Will's Vegan Store, which are known for their ethical practices [1:1]. This platform is a good starting point for those looking to explore various vegan clothing options.
Anticarnist and Don't Eat the Homies
For those interested in unique aesthetics, Anticarnist offers designs that cater to metalhead and Satanist styles [1:2]. Another brand mentioned is "Don't Eat the Homies," although details on this brand were not extensively discussed
[1:5].
Rapanui Clothing
Based on the Isle of Wight, Rapanui Clothing is praised for its sustainable materials and ethical production processes. They offer a recycling program for worn-out clothes, ensuring a closed-loop system [2:2].
On Running and Adidas by Stella McCartney
In the realm of athletic wear, On Running is noted for not using any animal-derived materials in their shoes and apparel [3:1]. Additionally, Adidas by Stella McCartney provides vegan-friendly options, although some of McCartney's other collections may include wool and silk
[3:2].
Happy Earth Apparel
Happy Earth Apparel offers cozy hoodies, sweatpants, and other relaxed clothing items. Their commitment to vegan principles makes them a reliable choice for casual wear [4:2].
Will's Vegan Store and Call It Spring
For formal attire, Will's Vegan Store is recommended for men's dress shoes and accessories, offering competitive pricing within the vegan market [5:0]. Call It Spring has transitioned to being fully vegan, providing another option for vegan footwear
[5:1].
Vegetarian Shoes
Vegetarian Shoes is another brand specializing in vegan footwear, offering a variety of styles suitable for different occasions [5:2].
These brands provide a diverse array of vegan clothing options, from everyday basics to specialized formal wear, catering to different tastes and needs while maintaining ethical and sustainable practices.
I know this sub leans more toward food and lifestyle, but I’m curious about fully vegan fashion brands. So many brands advertise “plant-based” or “eco” clothing but sneak in animal-derived dyes, glues, or wool blends.
I’m part of a small startup trying to build an animal-free line. We use organic cotton, certified fair trade suppliers, no animal-based fabrics or dyes, and compostable packaging.
Not here to pitch anything, just genuinely asking. Have you found any truly vegan fashion brands that feel trustworthy? How important is certification versus just reading the materials?
Anticarnist seems pretty trustworthy. If you're into the metal head and Satanist aesthetic they have some great designs.
Barely. I tend to support small creators who make clothes or make my own whenever I can for “fashionable” stuff. Basics can luckily be found ethically from variety of sources by now. Fashion is still a little hard to find.
understood ! thanks for your reply.
Don't Eat the Homies
thats funny !
They are definitely out there. I'd check out www.shoplikeyougiveadamn.com, they offer fully vegan brands (the 3 star rated brands) as well (among 150 brands / 21.000 vegan products). An example of an ethical vegan brand is Prev for example, or Will's vegan store. Not sure where you live though so the offer might be limited in your country as it's an EU based marketplace.
Hi all
Would anyone be able to recommend some vegan clothes brands, I am looking for t-shirts. I would use etsy however I worry about whether someone is just listing and selling someone elses item. Ideally I would like to support a growing vegan business.
used them for a few things, great quality and prices.
Sustainable materials, everything can be returned for recycling when worn out. Based on the Isle of Wight. everything is traceable and ethical
this kept coming up and I assumed it was a really un-ethical seller exploiting labour. Actually an interesting story so far.
!thanks
So I don’t know about vegan cause I didn’t know o was supposed to be checking my clothes and now I feel like a bad vegan. But I’ve been trying to buy clothes ethically, you know sustainable/or second hand. And I really am loving Zilla Kids. Problem is they tend to sell out as soon as they get stock.
Majority of clothes are alright but if it has leather or silk or various other materials.
It is definitely worth checking, along with skincare/ toothpaste.
Start slow unless you want to do everything, it can be pretty overwhelming initially.
Vegan bicycle tires are a thing.
Hey everyone! Anyone have any recommendations for a vegan athletic clothes brand or animal friendly brand? I have the big brands like under Armour and Nike, but obviously they’re not a vegan brand lol
Company doesn’t have to say vegan in the title or brand just a company represents the cruelty free lifestyle that we represent :-)
TIA!
Adidas by Stella McCartney (SM uses wool and silk though, just not in the adidas collection)
vegan gym is one. There's others in r/veganknowledge for the vegan online stores. I just never got around to color coding each type - so you'd have to do some digging around, but I placed more than a couple in there. (if someone helps me with the color coding - then I can pull them out a lot more easily!!).
My favorite is wearpact.com
I just buy 2nd hand from thrift shops, no need to pollute the plant further buying new
AFAIK On Running does not use any animal derived material in their shoes and apparel. But it’s also a large commercial brand so I’m not sure if this is what you’re after.
I'm looking to start replacing a lot of my old clothes this year and want to shop as ethically as possible. Of course I'll be hitting some thrift stores, but I'm gonna need some new pieces too. Looking for vegan friendly (or preferably outright vegan) clothing brands for basics (like similar to what something like Old Navy or UNIQLO) as well as recommendations for yalls favorite vegan brands out there for more creative pieces!
For context, I'm genderfluid but usually dress masculine. Open to all sorts of styles and flavors though! Looking for cheaper options but willing to spend more for better quality that will last longer or for one or two artistic pieces worth saving up for. Thanks yall!
Happy Earth (https://www.happyearthapparel.com/pages/about-us) is vegan and they have cozy hoodies and sweatpants, some other relaxed type stuff. My wife bought me 2 hoodies and a T-shirt from there for Christmas last year, and I wear them all the time! The hoodies are especially good quality.
Personally I am really happy with www.endlessfashion.shop, most of their stuff is vegan, I think it's only their leather jacket that isn't but that's sold out anyway. Their jogging pants are alright but their Hoodies and Shirts are fantastic
you may find PETA, their site helpful:
https://www.peta.org/living/personal-care-fashion/shop-vegan-clothing-compassionate-shopping-guide/
Specifically for formal dress attire, like men's dress shoes & accessories.
I tried searching old posts on this subreddit and Amazon and couldn't much either in the style I'm looking for or my price range ($30 to $70 USD).
I found this company, Will's Vegan Store, which is probably the best prices I'll find, but if anyone has any other suggestions, or can vouch for this company, I'd love to read them! Thanks.
For shoes you can do the brand Call It Spring, they're now fully vegan.
What are companies that are completely vegan in all the products that they sell? This can be for food, shoes, bags, makeup, clothing, furniture, etc. If you know of a brand that has made a commitment to keeping their products plant-based, please comment.
Seems that there are so many hidden animal products, when it comes to leather or enzymes or goose feathers or tested on animals, etc....
Edit: I would really like to be conscious in future purchases, my money being given to fully-vegan brands even more than brands that happen to sell a few vegan products.
dr. bronner's! they sell the soap that's covered in schizo writing, as well as a great vegan chocolate bar for some reason. i discovered their vegan status while scouring for a chocolate, and now i go out of my way to buy their stuff.
They have a couple of products with beeswax, so not fully vegan, unfortunately. But most of their products are certified.
https://www.drbronner.com/collections/all/products/peppermint-organic-lip-balms
https://www.drbronner.com/collections/all/products/arnica-menthol-organic-magic-balm
they sell a few things that have honey iirc
Yeah, their website says that "most" things are vegan which makes me assume that some are not.
I've recently started keeping a list of all-vegan and cruelty-free cosmetic companies (to make shopping easier for myself). So far, I have the following which are generally available in my region (although some may be owned by nonvegan parent companies):
Hello! Once i read The Body Shop is not 100% vegan.
Was it more than a year ago? Because as of January 2024, all of their products were certified by The Vegan Society. They're the first global brand to accomplish this.
Thanks for this!
PHB Ethical Beauty! Vegan and even palm oil free!
Also, I just created a FB group for Vegan Small Businesses and those that want to support them, Etsy's Gone VEGAN! https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Cfj6AETuY/ we are a small but growing community, please join if you use FB 💚
Hurraw! They make balms and lotions. Andalou Naturals, skincare. Good Chemistry, perfume Jäson, skincare and hair products
Wills vegan shoes
Hi! I’ve only been vegan for a few months now and with the change of season I’m looking for some vegan friendly clothing brands. Preferably for socks/underwear since I can’t get those second hand. I have a disability which causes poor circulation in my limbs so anything that’s extra warm would be appreciated! Thank you (I’m from the UK so preferably from the UK to been low on my plastic use)
I never buy specific brands. 99% of my clothing is second-hand (with the exception of socks and underwear). And it's 99% cruelty-free as well. I simply check what the garment is made of. The brand is irrelevant to me. And usually the stuff I get ends up not being branded anyway.
Just read the labels.
I think there is a little more to it than just checking the labels when we talking about buying new clothes. I personally don't really want to support brands that use animal products in their manufacturing even if they carry some non-vegan stuff (when I am buying new anyways). Due to how labelling laws, there are some things they are not legally obligated to put on the tags. Adhesives being one of them. See this article about common animal products used in manufacturing and related labelling laws.
That being said I don't actually have a brand suggestion :( I have been vegan for years now and clothing (and the social aspect, a whole other story) are much harder than changing the diet (in my experience anyways).
The first issue is buying new. Aside from intimate items and maybe occasional footwear there's no reason for it. It's also much better for the environment, not to mention the wallet.
Second, it really is as simple as reading the labels. There are SO many vegan fabrics these days. I had been buying vegan clothing and cosmetics for many years before I actually went vegan with food. (I've actually found it a lot more difficult to be vegan in my diet but that's only because I live in a country where I don't speak the language well so that's been a barrier but I'm learning.)
Don't over complicate things. You're doing great.
Ethical clothing brand. Based on the Isle of Wight. All paper packaging and a great price and quality.
following
Vegan in the sense that they share the same environmental responsibility and due diligence to non-abuse. So far I've really bought into Patagonia's mission, but I'm looking for others as well.
(I'm aware they sell fleece clothing. I'm more so talking about Fair Trade and minimizing their environmental impacts down the supply chain, etc.)
Try some indie brands, I find a ton through Instagram. Search #slowfashion #indiebrands and find a style that resonates with you. Not sure if you’re M/F but Noctex is my fave. Also you can always google is ... ethical and it will give you the ethics score of the company in terms of workers and environmental impact!
What kind of clothes do you need? Are you actively looking for a particular item or just for brands that have street cred?
Add on: Anyone know of some vegan socks? I’m looking for properties similar to wool—wicking and warm, but not wool obviously. I have tons of casual cotton socks but my hiking sock stash is getting endangered.
I really like these socks! Even though they say they're for warm weather, they keep my feet dry in the winter. They are made in the USA. Wigwam also has some great vegan socks.
Second this. Got two pair of Darn Tough Coolmax and they’ve kept my feet warm and dry so far. Very comfortable.
I tried Wrightsocks recently and really like them. They're two layers and nice and cozy.
Thank you!! I’ll check these out as well.
I really like my wool 1000 Mile socks because they’re double layer—but they need to last for the rest of my life since I’m not getting more (unless mum forgets again that sheep isn’t vegan).
I just started, not for health but for ethical reasons. I can’t really afford to throw out all my blazers and dress shoes for work.
Vegan 5+ years. I didn't throw out or get rid of wool/leather items. I still use them but if I need something new I buy vegan obviously.
Ok, quick question. Wool. Sheep need to be sheared, wouldn't it be wasteful to not use the wool?
Or is it the ethical point of wearing the wool? (Newbie here ) 🫶🏻
As someone who does a lot of fiber arts, this is a great question. The vegan point would be, if those sheep weren't being bred to produce excess amounts of wool, their cycle in nature is to shed their coats in the warm months. But, sheep that are seen as commodities by humans are unable to shed enough. But humans continue the cycle of breeding these animals for their own purposes. So, while it would be wasteful, the best choice is to not create a demand and stop breeding them.
This is a tough one because over time some breeds of sheep have been bred to overproduce wool, and could not survive without being shorn. Also, substitute products like bamboo or cotton and so on is either not suited for cold weather or is not produced in much volume. Ideally less demand means less of these animals would be bred. Obviously that day is a long way off. personally I avoid it wherever possible, which makes it tough as a former knitter who still has a stash of yarn...
Veganism is much more than just being about killing animals, it is against the exploitation of animals. In other words- veganism is against seeing animals as things for us to use and commodify against their will as if they were natural resources.
For some people the above means they won’t wear wool, while others are fine with used wool etc.
The reality of breeding and keeping sheep for wool crosses the line of exploitation for a few reasons. Sheep that have been bred to have more wrinkled skin and thus grow more wool are more prone to “fly strike”, a potentially deadly condition caused by poor hygiene. To prevent this in a way that is economical to the farmer farmers will remove part or all of an animal’s tail in a process called docking. Because the tail is part of the sheep’s spine this is incredibly painful for the sheep, and according to some scientists might not actually help prevent fly strike all that much. Docking has been associated with negative health outcomes in sheep including rectal prolapse and skin cancer 😥
As the other commenter pointed out, the ideal thing to do is to stop breeding sheep that need to be shorn
To me there is a category of things which while not vegan by definition could be done in an acceptable manner, but it isn't worth much thought because they are never done in an acceptable manner. If for example one had a sheep which is a beloved family member that needs a light shearing each late spring because summer will be too hot, and the leavings on the floor are then used to make thread, sure, if be ok with it. But let's be honest, no thread, cloth, clothing or blanket I have ever encountered came about that way so let's not spend a lot of time on the hypothetical.
Many of us transitioned our wardrobes over time, but stopped buying non vegan things immediately.
No things are vegan. All things require animal harm.
Yep. I replaced my non-vegan clothing items and toiletries over a long period of time.
yes vegans buy vegan things
I only buy vegan clothing and shoes. But what’s in the past is in the past. I have a pair of leather shoes, and I do wear them. But I will not buy leather again. I also have a silk ao dai (Vietnamese traditional dress) and I do wear it, but I will not buy one made of silk again.
I gifted some things to family members (eg. A vest stuffed with duck feathers, I gave to my sister), but the ao dai is custom made to my measurements and the shoes are my size and fit. My car also has leather seats, and my couch is leather. Can’t go back and change the past.
As a vegan, I buy vegan. But I can’t change the past, and so I will use the non-vegan things I own. I wouldn’t finish off non-vegan food, but I donated non-perishables and the rest… well there’s a difference between leftover chicken and rice vs a couch that’ll last 15 years. At least to me there is, but I wouldn’t fault someone for finishing off their leftovers and then only buying vegan from then on. Going vegan doesn’t need to be an overnight change, go with whatever pace is most likely to keep your dedication alive.
Some people do throw out or give away all their non-vegan clothing. But different people will do different things and there’s no right or wrong answer.
As many others have said, no need to throw anything out, but the answer is "yes" since veganism is not a diet, it's an ethical stance that we apply to all choices in life.
Although not directly linked to veganism I also don't want to be wasteful, so I wouldn't throw out clothes that are still fine and replace them with something new, unless you can trade/thrift/etc. so nothing new has to be produced to replace what you already have.
What are your go to brands for sustainable clothing? What are your thoughts on regenerative wool? Looking for brands to buy from that use natural fibers and everything isn't a polyester blend.
Wool is not Vegan regardless of how it's labelled. Vegan Outfitters is a good brand to look at
Recycled and reused wool is 100% acceptable for a vegan to choose to use.
Do we really think cotton or polyesters are any better than recycled material?
Then leather is as well as long as it's second hand? Cotton and polyester is not an animal product
Use Good on You to find brands who are sustainable and vegan.
why not buy second hand? that would be the most sustainable
I've started buying almost everything on Vinted. This obviously depends on your style, but I wear a lot of repro vintage dresses, and I've gotten a few 97% cotton dresses recently for between £4 and £15. They're dresses I would buy anyway (or at least want), so I figure buying second hand within the UK and wearing them regularly is probably the best option
So I use vinted a few years ago but ended up spending quite a bit on clothes I couldn't return. I really need to be able to try stuff on and take it back due to my height and body proportions meaning clothes often don't fit well. I think anyone that's not average height - tall and slim has that issue.
I shop on vinted a lot - I'm on the tall end of average and a UK size 16. I have certainly bought a few things that haven't fit or looked as expected, and I've done a mixture of reselling and donating those items. I find sticking to brands I'm familiar with helps, and I've never spent more than about £15 on one item, but there's definitely always a bit of a risk involved.
Not meeting all the criteria and not inherently vegan but I recommend Hissy Fit, they are UK based and only use dead stock fabric (and recently started doing cotton/synthetic blend knits too. All clothes are UK manufactured.
