Vegan Friendly Accessories: 3 Chic, Stylish, Cruelty-Free Bags That Will Turn Heads

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are the largest animal rights organization in the world, with more than 6.5 million members and supporters. If you consider yourself part of this number, and are against the horrifying reality for thousands of animals raised and violently killed to make “luxury” leather bags, then this article might be for you.

"Cruelty-free fashion" or "Vegan fashion" is the fashion of the future. Important educational institutions like The Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York, have been discussing vegan and sustainable clothing and why designers don’t need to contribute to the horrific treatment of animals in order to be successful in the fashion world.

Many new vegan leather innovations are hitting the scene, like Ultrasuede and cork, pineapple skin, kombucha tea, and mushrooms, instead of any materials made from animals.

We all love a good handbag, but you’re not a fan of parading animal skin around your arm. The reality is cruelty-free fashion has never been so chic. Whether you’ve got a wedding this summer, are planning a girls night out, or you just want to upgrade your look, brands like Pixie Mood will help you turn heads without harming animals!
