Are You A True Animal Lover? Then You Need To Know About Vegan Clothing In India

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Adopting a ‘Vegan’ lifestyle is still a more Hollywood concept, but a silk loving country like India is slowly warming up to the idea of cruelty-free clothing options.

Let’s talk about what exactly is Vegan fashion. This movement is mostly about embracing environment-friendly alternatives, made from cruelty-free sources, and refuse to use any animal products in the making of garments.

In short, you can look stylish and fierce while doing your part for the environment and animals. Bold Outline has made a list of Indian fashion brands for more eco-friendly and sustainable options:

House of Anita Dongre

Top designer Anita Dongre nabbed a Compassionate Designer Award by PETA for her refusal to use leather or cashmere in her designs. She is leading India’s fight in giving citizens more vegan-friendly options to choose from.

Even Kate Middleton is a fan of her designs! The Duchess of Cambridge opted for a vibrant and vegan Anita Dongre dress with an eye-catching pattern and perfect fit, proving that high fashion can be cruelty-free.

Anita explained her decision to go organic in an interview. ‘My work reflects my real-life values, which is why I don’t use leather in my designs. With so many other choices available, we don’t need to support fashion that is the product of an animal’s violent death. Using animal skin is a throwback to less-enlightened times, not a cutting-edge fashion statement. That’s why I don’t work with leather,’ she admitted.
