VEGAN WINTER COATS

edit01We have all heard the expression “Eat like you give a damn.” But why not dress that way too?  A true Glamazon eschews buying new wool, leather, fur, silk, or down in lieu of eco-compassionate options.

Vegan shoe lines abound, and now the elusive vegan winter coat is now slightly easier with thanks to our lovely friend Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart  who has brought us cruelty-free bitches Vaute Couture, a new vegan fashion house that she created to be a voice for the animals in the industry and push towards animal-free fabrics and processes. She spent a year developing the first line of high style and ethics and performance coats- now available online here (for between $370 and $560.)  Why not just wear “organic” wool?

Leanne says; “Sometimes I’m asked why I don’t just use organic wool- well, besides the fact that I don’t believe in using animals for luxury or profit, I also have to mention why I created Vaute Couture– not to be a single conscientious business, but to push the industry towards solutions we can use to eliminate the need for animal fabrics in fashion. Sentient beings don’t fit well into the cost-equations of business because their sentient nature is never part of the equation to begin with- I aim to cut out the risk of cruelty entirely by developing new solutions that don’t involve using animals to begin with.”  Side note: Leanne is also a Ford model, MBA drop-out, and plays classical trumpet… so basically your average under achiever.  Some gorgeous Vaute Couture finds below (now 30% off with code GIRLIEGIRLARMY at checkout!):

It’s nice to know that when we support a business like Vaute Couture, we are supporting a completely ethical, locally made, vegan-owned business.
