My main problem with vegan fashion is that they rarely offer plus sizes. I have lost quite a bit of weight by going vegan, but I am at a plateau right now and my shirt size is XL. Not even the shirt you designed goes over a large. Hopefully, by the time I get to wearing a large shirt it won't be sold out.
@nehas79926 жыл бұрын
Totally agree. I used to be an xl years ago when I went vegan, and only fast fashion seemed to accommodate. I hate the assumption that all vegans are healthy and thin. Hopefully vegan fashion catches on soon!

Vegan/ environment friendly is as well wearing second hand clothing. You must have heard about no waste movement? Of course there are things I wouldn’t wear after someone else (like lingerie and etc) but you can start with that. Advantage of that is most of these clothes are plus size.

Caitlin, I really do appreciate that you cover low-cost vegan options along with offering the more expensive options. It's great to support specifically vegan clothing and faux leather good companies, but that's not always doable on a tighter budget. I also loved how you highlighted the ethical issues and sustainability issues with fast fashion and sweatshops. Thrifting is quickly becoming my go-to for clothing, and I'm lucky to live in an area with plenty of Goodwills. I agree with your thoughts on purchasing clothing made with animal materials, such as wool sweaters or scarves, second-hand or at thrift stores, as that lines up with sustainability and doesn't create the market for new wool (or etc.) goods. I can't do leather goods, fur, or down personally, but I've bought a few wool/cashmere items secondhand. One of my favorite vegan clothing finds has been Ahimsa shoes. They're out of Brazil and have a high focus on sustainability, and while they're on the pricier side they're shoes are well worth the money. I've had their Cognac work boots for a couple years now and they've lasted beautifully. I'd also recommend the online stores Mooshoes.com and avesu.eu for shoes and other accessories!
@allisonsimon36206 жыл бұрын
This is a really good video! I’ve seen a lot of comments suggesting not to buy leather/ wool at second hand/thrift stores because you are promoting that material. But as a vegan and fashion design student that’s a tricky subject because it is much more environmentally friendly to buy a wool sweater at a thrift store than buying a new acrylic (plastic) based sweater:)

Hi Caitlin! Thank you for your video it was really informative. I've been vegan for a little over a year now and the only problem I have with vegan clothing is that a lot of it unfortunately isn't very environmentally friendly. One of the main reasons I became a vegan was because of the environmental impact of the meat and dairy industry, so I want to invest in clothes that are more "kind" to the planet. Obviously the ethical part of the clothing industry is also very important, however, how as a vegan (besides buying secondhand) do you buy clothes that are plastic free? (obviously cotton and linnen are available) I find this a very hard thing to tackle, especially shoe and bag wise. Again thank you for your video and I do apologize for a very long comment.
@palynaike5 жыл бұрын
I think the same as you too. I personally try not to buy anything synthetic anymore, but I use what I already have until is no longer useful. I care really deeply about the environment and the effects of plastic, so I don’t see how to avoid using either animals or terrible plastic when it comes to certain items of clothing (at least for now). Again, I guess it depends on how important is one topic to the other for each individual.

I personally feel like the most important thing is to buy things from companies that treat their workers fairly. That's much more important than buying vegan clothing to me because I care much more about the suffering of humans than the suffering of animals. It would feel weird to me to try so hard to end animal suffering but then do nothing to end the suffering of people. The best thing to do in most cases is to just buy second hand because it's better for the environment, animals, people, and your wallet.

Typically, I shop second hand. I will typically never buy a prominent leather item, but I have some secondhand leather shoes and belts. When shopping second hand, I actually prefer natural materials such as cotton and linens (which are vegan) and cashmere, wool, and silk (which aren't vegan) because once they wear out and I use the fabric as much as possible, what remains can be composted and not go to the landfill. I definitely agree that it is a personal opinion and choice, so thanks for sharing yours!

This is a really insightful video, especially for people starting to transition. A few other things to look out for are (some) trousers as they have wool in them. They'll say not machine washable usually though so that's easy to spot. Ann then shoes. Shoes use glue which wouldn't be classed as vegan, but they don't have to list that as a material, at least where I live. But if you're going for the majority of vegan products, it might be worthwhile just looking for a vegan tag or email the company to find out :)

I'm sure that sheep can be raised inhumanely, but sheep have to be sheared to survive. It's one of those trade offs. Do you err on the side of raising and shearing sheep, or do you use a fabric made from petroleum products? or trees? If you're against using plastic, are you also against nylon? It's a pretty deep subject. I know that the sheep is a living being, so that might be the distinction, but if I'm not raising them inhumanely, and I'm not eating them, is it worse than making a plastic like fabric? Just asking.

I obviously agree about the leather industry but I don't think that the wool industry is actually cruel... it's an industry that allows animals to live. (I actually think that also for meat, as I am not a vegan, I just eat good meat once in a while, knowing where it came from and how it was produced.) But I do remember that it's also good for some of those animals to be shaved regularly! More researching needs to be done but maybe we don't need to cut all animal products from our life ? I have the same issues with bees: they're going extinct because of men but at the same time the only reason they still exist is because we harvest their honey... without some support from some industry, a lot of species will deperish. Sorry for the long post but it's really my only issue with your lifestyle that keeps me from joining the vegan community :) (and also I love meat)
