Someday soon, it will no longer be acceptable to wear clothes made using animal products. But for now at least, most people (vegan or not) still like to wear clothes that have the look of animal derived materials such as leather and wool, whether that\u2019s for reasons of comfort, familiarity, or simply the pace of fashion.<\/p>
By now, you may have heard about the toll that\u00a0raising animals for food is taking on our environment<\/a>. But what about\u00a0animal-derived clothing<\/a>\u00a0and accessories?<\/p> The vegan fashion revolution will continue to influence designers as they see the beautiful possibilities of recycled plastic bottles, cork, wood, industrial waste, rubber, and other materials. Mark our words: Ethical, eco-conscious fashion is the wave of the future.<\/p> Understanding everything that is and isn\u2019t vegan can take some getting used to, especially if you\u2019ve spent many years buying regular clothes from the high street. That being said, once you get up and running it\u2019s a breeze. Some things that aren\u2019t that obvious but you might want to start thinking about include:<\/p> Animal derived glues are used in shoes and bags<\/p><\/li> Animal derived dyes<\/p><\/li> Linings on jackets are often made from silk<\/p><\/li> Leather tags and leather pullers on zips<\/p><\/li> Padding materials like goose down<\/p><\/li> Buttons and decoration made from bone, shell or horn<\/p><\/li> Faux fur that\u2019s actually real<\/p><\/li> Beeswax in waxed cotton jackets<\/p><\/li><\/ul> As part of our GOTS certification we are audited to ensure that our products do not contain animal derived ingredients, and to ensure our products have not been tested on animals. This certification is seed-to-shop and includes our organic cotton and printing technology. Many vegans shop with us for this reason.<\/p>","urlTitle":"vegan-clothing","url":"\/blog\/vegan-clothing\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/vegan-clothing\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/happi-inc.co\/blog\/vegan-clothing\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1628451430,"updatedAt":1628451917,"publishedAt":1628451917,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":137838,"name":"Happi Inc"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/gbeioykfj3aifzfaub88wsjqgqs7ali7vdpgeqfptb68825v.png","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/gbeioykfj3aifzfaub88wsjqgqs7ali7vdpgeqfptb68825v.png.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/gbeioykfj3aifzfaub88wsjqgqs7ali7vdpgeqfptb68825v.png.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":10970,"title":"Why is the Ocean so important?","url":"\/blog\/why-is-the-ocean-so-important\/","urlTitle":"why-is-the-ocean-so-important","division":137838,"description":"Why is the Ocean so important?The ocean is responsible for almost all life on Earth, and it spans more than 70% of the planet\u2019s surface.
