Always Choose Vegan
Thanks to brands such as our award winners, more and more cruelty-free options are available for shoppers who want to avoid leather, feathers, wool, and silk.
Animals are not ours to wear or decorate our homes with. Before their skin or hair reaches shop shelves, animals endure a life of misery, pain, frustration, and fear, and many are skinned alive.
Every time you reach for your wallet, you have a choice between standing up for animals or supporting the industries that exploit them. Find out more about vegan living:
