All About Vegan Fashion – Just in Time for Holiday Shopping (VZ 180)

Vegan Fashion Is Becoming, Well…Fashionable!

The holidays are upon us! If you’re a vegan, receiving non-vegan clothing or accessories from well-meaning gift-givers can become an uncomfortable situation. Many people don’t realize that vegans typically do not use products made from animals (leather bags, belts, or wallets, suede clothing, jewelry made from ivory, etc). Also, it can often be hard to determine if clothes or accessories are truly vegan. In this episode of the Vegetarian Zen podcast, we share tips for finding vegan fashion, including some places that cater specifically to vegan shoppers.
