The future of vegan shoes
With consumers making more conscious choices when it comes to fashion, brands are creating more sustainable collections to meet demand.
Vegan footwear is the latest trend to come from conscious designers, and for good reason. Brands such as Adidas and Stella McCartney have paved the way for vegan footwear, providing quality, cruelty-free shoes for consumers.
‘Leather-free’ shoes have become the new norm for many people, vegan or not. What’s exciting about the leather-free movement is seeing different designers get creative with new materials and explore new plant-based possibilities.
In 2020, shoe brand Clae produced its first vegan leather sneaker using cactus leather!
Additionally, pineapple leather and leather created from byproducts of wine have been debuted on catwalks as the urgency for a greener, more sustainable world grows.
