Ci Sono Vegan Leather Jackets




Ci Sono Vegan leather jackets have been spotted in TK Maxx!! This brand is so realistic you will think they are leather. Luckily for the handy label you can be sure they are not. 




It's great to see more vegan clothing on the high-street, with clear labels and prices that don't break the bank this is hopefully a sign of things to come. Grab one before they sell out!

Ethical Fashion

A vegan lifestyle isn't just about the food you eat, the same ethics should be applied to all areas of life such as the clothes you choose to buy. Avoiding products which use animal skin and fur is one obvious way to do this. Another is to buy from ethical companies which aim to make sustainable clothing rather than the fast fashion of many high street brands. 

One company which is ethical, sustainable and vegan is Monkee Genes which make affordable jeans in a range of materials and are approved by Peta. 

Monkee Genes

This company started in 2006 and is a great choice for anyone wishing to buy Eco friendly clothing. They also raise awareness of the environmental and human cost to buying cheap fashion. Knowing where your clothes come from is as important as knowing where your food comes from. No animal should be killed for a meal just as no human should suffer terrible conditions making cheap throw away clothes. 

The charitable side of the company started in 2013 after the Rana Plaza disaster. It aims to educate people on the reality of how clothes are made and invest in communities. The idea is to show people the true cost of clothing in the hopes that more people will be willing to buy from a company which chooses not to put fashion before human life. 

Ethical clothing is not always the most fashionable but this is one brand which matches style with compassion. Here are some great choices from the website: 


Berry Organic Chinos £50 

7/8 Skinny Jeans Bamboo Dark Women's
Skinny jeans £35

Mid Dusty Denim Skinny Peanut Jeans
Dusky Denim skinny jeans £34 


Men's skinny jeans £55
