Our Favorite Luxury Vegan Brands Worldwide

Veganism is making a breakthrough in the luxury fashion world. There is a shift happening worldwide, with more designers adopting sustainable alternatives. The Vegan Society reported that between 2017 and 2018, there was a 39% increase in ‘vegan fashion’ searches. 

Luxury Vegan Fashion is becoming increasingly popular, and it is seen as a long-term investment that will be beneficial not only to the consumer, but to the environment. 

Leticia Credidio – London, UK

Leticia Credidio won PETA’s Designer to Watch 2019 because of her eponymous brand’s ethos. The pieces are handmade in Italy with sustainability at the core. It’s clear that Leticia Credidio is inspired by nature, from the names of the pieces to the fabrics she uses. Seaweed (Seacell™) is used to produce some of her pieces, not only because it is sustainable, but because it releases hydration as you wear it. Leticia Credidio is comfort, wellbeing, and ethicality all in one. 

Nanushka – Hungary

‘A contemporary house for the modern human’ is how Nanushka describes itself. Their designs are versatile but classic, and can be worn all year round. Most famous for their vegan leather, Nanushka has fought against animal products and unsustainable ‘pleather,’ using polyurethane and polyester to create a vegan doppelgänger. 

Fjørdsøn - Switzerland

This watch brand is vegan approved by PETA and The Vegan Society. Not only are their watches cruelty-free, but they donate 5% revenue to a local animal shelter in Belgium. Swiss watches are known for their high quality because of the methods they use, and Fjørdsøn are no different. But, they go the extra mile with rigorous checks, carbon neutral shipping and recycled packaging. 

Save the Duck – Italy

Founded in 2012, Save the Duck uses modern technology to create jackets that are cruelty-free. They use Plumtech® to mimic the fluffiness that down and feathers give, whilst also giving the same beneficial properties. The jackets and coats are lightweight, warming, and waterproof, providing the perfect protection against cold weather. This year they climbed Everest, marking the first ever animal-free ascent in the history of mountaineering. 

Svala – Los Angeles, USA

Pineapple, Cork, and recycled plastic bottles. These are the 3 fabrics that Svala uses to make their vegan bags.

Svala also donates 10% of their profits to charities, including wildlife charities that fight to end illegal trading of animals across the world.
