What happened to my long list of vegan apparel brands?
I previously had a list of 70+ vegan t-shirts and apparel brands that I have been compiling and updating for the past 5 years. But I realized that we don’t need more vegan apparel brands. Instead, we need better vegan brands.
Better practices. Better materials. Better designs.
So, I narrowed it down to only 20 of the best vegan brands doing better.
I looked for brands that were being mindful to the types of materials they chose, favoring those that use certified organic cotton, and fewer synthetic blends. As well as those that are ethically-made. Because veganism should include all beings – garment workers included!
