The Gift of Cruelty-Free Fashion

We ❤ to give the gift of cruelty-free fashion as much as we love to wear it!

With a growing awareness of the increase of pollution, deforestation, global warming, resource depletion, and animal cruelty the holidays offer one of the greatest opportunities to lead by example by giving cruelty-free fashion that is stylish, thought-provoking, and inspiring to everyone on your holiday list!

Cruelty is one fashion statement we can all do without

Shoes and apparel are typical holiday hit-list items. From the conservative wool sweater to all-the-rage leather boots to a new down winter jacket – these so-called “gifts” all have one thing in common: they each support industries that commoditize animals that are cruel, bloody, and infested with violence in ways that could warrant animal-cruelty charges if the victims were dogs or cats. The reality is, many animals literally paid with their lives for those few gifts of luxury.

Don’t change to fit the fashion, change the fashion to fit you

Thankfully, there are stylish, cruelty-free alternatives! You can still give all-the-rage-boots (like Pammies), you just have to be persistent at reading labels to find alternative products that imitate animal-based fabrics, derived from plant sources, and when possible, upcycled and organic.
