It’s never been easier to shop for vegan clothing brands on or offline than it is in 2018.
Below are six online vegan fashion companies who employ ethics towards animals, humans and the planet. Being a conscientious consumer has never looked so good!
HeartCure Clothing – For The Change Makers, Life Savers & Earth Lovers
HeartCure was founded by Georgina Cook and Jordan McCusker in 2015, when both activists were in Europe promoting veganism. The duo believes that through the printing of questions and messages on their clothes, they can aim to raise questions in the minds of people who read them.
HeartCure Clothing use a local eco-friendly printers, water based inks that do not contain ozone depleting chemicals, organic fair traded materials that are shipped not flown, they are sweat shop free and their clothes and accessories are made with 100% renewable energy.
The casual clothing range comprises of t-shirts, hoodies, joggers, cotton tote bags, beanies, caps and babywear. The company recently teamed up with well known activist Ed Winters to produce a collaboration hoodie and t-shirt. Perhaps the most heartfelt part of HeartCure Clothing is that the company donates 100% of their profits to Brook Farm Sanctuary, an animal sanctuary for rescued farmed animals.

MUD jeans are a revolutionary jeans company that won the PETA Vegan Fashion Award 2016 in The Netherlands for allowing customers to shop guilt free, do good for the animals and the environment, all whilst looking fashionable.

I appreciate your article…however the majority if not all of the cruelty-free clothing brands sell products for fairly high prices and people like me can not afford it… I am searching and searching and searching for vegan-friendly clothing companies in U.K.with reasonable prices but no luck so far at all… I understand or can imagine that to make products vegan/cruelty-free/environmentally friendly is costly therefore their final price on the market is high… I may just try to adapt to a vegan diet only and continue buying my clothes where I used to for a bargain…
Your in the same hunt as me. I wonder how a vegan leather handbag made of mushrooms can be more expensive than genuine leather!???. Have you had any luck?
Can anyone please recommend any good vegan uk companies that sell high heel stilettos? The higher the better?
