Cruelty-Free Fashion Trend

Introduction

Most people see cruelty-free and veganism as identical; however, this is not the case. Despite what most vegans believe, some animal products can be produced in cruelty-free ways.

For example, ‘peace silk’ and ‘cruelty-free wool’ are products of animal origin, yet, obtained without harming animals. That is unlike animal leather, where the animals are killed for their skins.

More than that, cruelty-free materials and products are often far more sustainable than their vegan counterparts. Stella McCartney, Mara Hoffman, and even Allbirds are some of the most loved sustainable fashion brands, using cruelty-free materials in their collections.

And, let’s not forget that cruelty-free materials are natural and thus, do not require frequent washing. The lesser detergent and water consumption, the more eco-friendly garments.
