What comes to mind when you think of cruelty-free vegan fashion?
I tend to visualize drabby colors, dingy fabrics and cheap, plastic-y looking “pleather” handbags. While that might have been the case a while back, times are changing my loves!
There are SO many companies doing big things in the fashion world that do not involve leather or the skin of dead animals. Again, we have make an effort and connect the dots with not only where our food comes from, but our clothes and accessories too. Watch this powerful video with Stella McCartney, exposing the leather industry.
Leather is not worth the harm it causes, especially with the high quality alternatives that are available to us.
I’m far from perfect in this area and feel like there are so many layers to the vegan lifestyle that take time to process and sort through. While I no longer buy leather, silk, wool or anything made from animals, I know there are many sides to the fashion world that we as consumers do not see. Today we are focusing on the ethical aspect and this amazing Vegan Leather Backpack from Mechaly.
Isn’t it perfect?! (PLUS – I got you a pretty sweet discount code for 35% off!! See Below!!)
The detail, the gold zippers and hardware, the versatility, the whole look of it – I love everything about this backpack!! Just in time for back to school too 🙂 It’s one of those magical backpacks where you can fit an endless amount of things in. Great for traveling, studying, going to work, etc. I love it for long weekends or just going to work at a coffee shop down the street.
