If you don’t know why wool is cruel, and is in fact a slaughter industry, read 16 Reasons to Stop Wearing Wool.

At Animal Liberation Victoria, we are against all forms of exploitation. For this reason, the products listed here are all made both ethically and sustainably. They are also all, of course, vegan, no sheep were harmed for them!

By using sustainable materials and ethical manufacturing, these products are more expensive than others may be. However in supporting the slow fashion movement which is kinder on the planet and its resources, ALV supports buying less and buying well.

While we proudly promote vegan products that are made of sustainable fibres, findings published in the Global Fashion Agenda showed that even virgin synthetic materials (which are more accessible and affordable, but less eco-friendly) are less harmful to the environment than wool in terms of negative impact regarding water scarcity, global warming and eutrophication. Wool was found to be the second most environmentally impactful material in terms of global warming, only after silk, another exploitative animal material.

Below are some ethical, sustainable and vegan products. Please note that while these products are 100% vegan, not all of these brands are, so make sure to check materials when you shop!

Keep scrolling too, to see what Animal Liberation Victoria thinks of vegan second hand shopping – a more affordable, and very sustainable option.

Please note this is not an advertisement. We just love compassionate clothing!

Animal Liberation Victoria also endorses the (more affordable!) buying of second hand and vintage vegan jumpers, which have already been created from man made materials such as acrylic or polyester. Have a look in your local thrift store, vintage store, or on online secondhand stores like ASOS Marketplace, Depop and thredUP!

For this reason, we’ve also selected some second hand vegan knit goodies found on Depop, to inspire your hunt, below. When you hunt, make sure to ask the seller to send you a picture of the material content tag!
