Most cruelty-free shoppers know to look for the “not tested on animals” bunny when browsing for cosmetics, but what about fashion? Animal-sourced fibers like leather, fur, wool, down and angora cause animals to suffer just as much, but their labels aren’t as obvious. Fortunately, finding cruelty-free clothing and accessories has never been easier. Brooklyn-based, vegan fashion designer Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart of VAUTE recently shared her favorite tips in this awesome video for Farm Sanctuary’s V-lish.com as well as the below list of places to shop for cruelty-free fashions.
