EcoDiva Goes Vegan Chic With Cruelty Free Shoes & Bags

My philosophy for living the EcoDiva lifestyle is that you can choose to be your own person, reflect your own style and still live in this world with a sense of peace and ‘harming-no-others’. My diet has evolved over the last decade to choosing vegan foods for my family and for myself and now I can choose vegan accessories for closet…without sacrificing my personal style. There are fabulous designers choosing the same philosophy in creating their designs. Today, you can walk into many department stores and local boutiques and choose cruelty free handbags, shoes and beauty products.

Vegan Chic is one of those resources which I was thrilled to discover. Vegan Chic brings together designers from around the world who choose to create products that let us “look fierce without being cruel.” Here is a bit about vegan chic in their own words:

Sounds amazing to me and to anyone looking to add a bit of style to their wardrobe without having to sacrifice their eco-friendly and animal-friendly philosophy. Not only are the shoes and bags beautiful, but they meet another EcoDiva criteria…they are made with love and quality consciousness. These pieces are not throw-away fashion that will end up in the landfill. Part of being an EcoDiva or EcoDude is to be aware of each purchase that you make. When you choose to buy a new item, make sure that it is something that you love, transcends seasonal trends and is made so well that you will  still be able to wear it for many years to come.

Here are a few of my favorites from Vegan Chic. My first choice is one that I LOVED wearing this winter with tights, a long tunic sweater and a beautiful bright scarf. I received compliments on this boot everywhere I went and LOVED letting the admirers know that they are VEGAN and are made so well that I know I will be wearing this classic style for years to come!!! Spread the word EcoDivas.

Vegan Dress Boot – Thames by Neuaura - $175
I LOVE that these boots can are a bit wider at the top. This gave me plenty of room to where thick wool sock for the PNW winters. And they were actually very comfy considering the heal is pretty darn high.
Constructed from Synthetic Tumbled leather, this vegan boot exudes a classy and casual look, perfect for daily use, walking, work and for the weekend. Made of the highest quality – you certainly be the envy of your veggie and non-veggie friends alike.

Vegan Ankle Boot – Kaveri by Neuaura – $125

I LOVE these grey booties…they would be perfect with tights or jeans…the perfect city walking shoes.
Sourced, and constructed in the mountains of Brazil using fair labor practices, these great boots hail from Neuaura, who are committed to animal and humanitarian causes – and provide exclusive boutique-style footwear as can be evidenced here.

Summer Satchel  – Loops by Pink Studios – On Sale for $42.39

This is such a sweet accessory for the Spring and Summer. I can easily see this funky vegan bag going from daytime into night without worry. And I like a bit of a bigger bag so I can keep a few tricks in my bag at all times.

Standing 7 inches high, 12 inches wide and 3 inches deep, this gorgeous bag provides space for your daily essentials. A particular favorite at Vegan Chic, we can recommend this reversible vegan bag for work, the weekend, for almost every occasion. We love this bag, and recommend it highly!
