in Green & ethical MoneySaving
I have purchased many items of footware from Vegetarian Shoes in Brighton and on the whole have been very happy but I have never purchased a vegan jacket from them.

If anyone has ever purchased one of there coats or one of these please could they let me know what they thought and feedback on the coat they bought from them.

I am choosing between two versions of one design at present:-
this one

or this one

    Well if you made footwear that wasn't made of leather and there were customers out there who saw that as a selling point, why wouldn't you market them as such?

    Hadn't heard of them before so I can't offer any info on the jacket.

    Funny you posted this - I've been googling ethical footwear - ideally I'd want something kind to the environment AND people AND animals but I'm not sure if there's anything that ticks all the boxes.
    Trying to spend less time on MSE so I can get more done ... it's not going great so far! :)
    Sorry if I don't reply to posts - I'm having MAJOR trouble keeping up these days!

    Actually, I'm really interested in this thread becuase I'm allergic to leather. Thanks for the sites - I'll take a look!


    Edited to add: AYE CARUMBA!!! Having seen the price of these shoes I'll stick to my plastic flip flops!!! Aww...

    OP - It might be worth taking a peek at New Look as some of their shoes are non-leather and cheap, and modern. BUt check as they aren't all the same.
