When it comes to vegan clothing and cruelty-free beauty products, the fashion industry is taking notice. How do we know this? Because the competition is ramping up when it comes to vegan products. When we started the Vegetarian Zen podcast in 2013, there wasn't a ton of brands or products to talk about in the vegan lifestyle space. Sure, there were some but when you compare it to the offerings these days, it doesn't even compare.  Even for those not living a vegan lifestyle, there is a lot more concern about the environmental impact our daily choices are making on the planet. In addition to the sustainability of products, concerns about fair trade and how workers are treated across the globe has sparked a lot of concern especially among younger generations.   In episode 416, of The Vegetarian Zen podcast, we interviewed actor, Torrey Devitto who talked about some of her favorite fashion and beauty brands so we decided to dive deeper into some of those companies and share a few of our own. Check out the full show notes here.

“The truth is that when you look at sustainability it can mean so many different things it's a continuum.” Becoming vegan seems to be the decision that plagues the mind of a lot of us. We keep getting told that eating meat is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, but there is still so much of it on the shelves, and a lot of us have grown up with meat being the staple ingredient of our diet. It's hard to make that shift. Eating meat is one thing, but as this conversation will hopefully shed some light on, there are other ways to start bringing veganism into our lives. Namely, with what we wear. The fashion industry is another major contributor to climate change that needs a bit of a revolution, we have already talked about fashion on this podcast, and Annick Ireland is another leader who's making waves in the industry. She is the CEO and Founder of the organization, Immaculate Vegan (immaculatevegan.com), which searches for the most sustainable, vegan fashion and homeware. Like with vegan food becoming more and more available, Immaculate Vegan is making vegan fashion more accessible to everyday people, including someone like myself who likes fashion but doesn't know much about it! It ranges from high class sustainable brands to everyday wear. Annick is another example of someone who decided to apply their skills to align more with her own values, and created a brand that that's now having a massive impact. You can't help but feel that the more people who make this sort of shift, the more likely it is that we'll start seeing the positive impacts on our planet. Annick Ireland became vegan in 2016 after adopting a greyhound from the Retired Greyhound Trust and making the connection between the pets we love and all other animals. Wanting to also wear her values, she searched far and wide for stylish, high quality vegan fashion that was sustainable too – and struggled! However, after many hours, days and months spent on the internet and Instagram, she discovered that a wealth of beautiful vegan fashion brands were out there, but they were hard to find. So with a background in marketing and business, she realised she could combine her passions by bringing together the best and most beautiful vegan products in the world, and make it easy for others to discover and buy them. Annick lives with her partner in North London and, when not hunting out wonderful items from every corner of the globe, she spends her time reading historical crime fiction, going for long countryside walks, wild swimming, and drinking Pinot Noir with friends.

The rise of vegan fashion. Vegan fashion is big right now but it's going to get bigger. With celebrities bringing out their own vegan ranges and many major fashion brands now embracing exotic materials like cactus leather, the global vegan fashion marketplace is projected to be worth 1 trillion US dollars by 2027. But this growth may not be coming from where you think it is. Consumers who don't identify as vegan are choosing vegan clothes and accessories. Countries where veganism hasn't yet taken off are becoming hot marketplaces for innovative new plant-based materials. So what's behind this current boom in vegan fashion? Join us in this episode as we do a deep dive into the stats and explore the impact that veganism is having on the fashion industry.

Leather bags have dominated the fashion industry for a long time, but Vegan leather bags have started gaining mass cultural popularity as a newer, more conscious lifestyle. Now you must be wondering, what’s so great about vegan leather? Well, Just about everything. In addition to being an ethical, sustainable, and animal cruelty-free alternative to traditional leather, it has a wider range of styles, lower cost, more efficient production, and is eco-friendly – plus it’s in vogue. In this episode of the Plant-Based Profit show, Paras Doshi, founder of US fashion retailer “Doshi,” talks about his purpose of providing smart, stylish, and high-quality vegan products to encourage people with moral, religious, or environmental beliefs to seek vegan products.   We’ll talk more about the origins of the vegan fashion movement and how it can be traced back to the hippie era of the 1960s.  We will also explore its increasing popularity today to meet the needs of smart, social, and environmentally friendly professionals and fashion designers.  So, hold on tight and enjoy an insider scoop with Paras Doshi, while he reveals how sustainable vegan leather is made and is replicating the smell, touch, and feel of leather. He tells us about Microfiber PU, and what other chemicals go into vegan leather. Doshi further discusses the First Five For the World initiative and how it is a very clear, open, direct, and measurable way to make a positive impact on animals, people, and the environment. Finally, he predicts the future of Vegan leather.  We start the show with Paras sharing what his childhood was like growing up in southern California with immigrant parents.

Indian Start-Up Creates Vegan Leather from Flowers

Indian start-up Phool.co has found a way to turn discarded temple flowers into vegan leather called “fleather.” Three years ago, the start-up was founded by Ankit Agarwal and Prateek Kumar to address the large amount of floral waste being dumped into the Ganges River. Phool.co upcycles nearly 8,000 kilograms of discarded flowers daily, turning them into charcoal-free incense sticks, organic compost, and biodegradable packaging materials. The company supports around 1,200 rural families by providing a livelihood for local women. Their employees are entitled to health insurance and other employment benefits. According to Agarwal, Phool.co first explored the development of an alternative leather material last year. He said that the company's R&D team got the idea for fleather when they noticed a white layer similar to leather forming on flower waste. Upon inspection, the team found that a microorganism using the petals as a food source is causing the formation of the white material. The team also discovered that fleather contains a kind of protein similar to animal leather's collagen, which gives it strength and durability. He added that like traditional animal leather, fleather is elastic and not prone to breakage, making it a viable and even possibly superior alternative. Last February, Phool.co was awarded the “Best Innovation in Vegan Fashion” title for fleather at the Circular Design Challenge, where aspiring designers and entrepreneurs are recognized for their innovative and sustainable ideas for fashion. Fleather also caught the interest of a famous Indian designer, who expressed that she wants to work with the new material. Apart from awards and recognition, the start-up also recently secured a $1.4 million investment through the help of an angel investor and a charitable organization. Phool.co will use the money to expand its operations and advance its research.

What Is Vegan Leather Made Of?This week I’m exploring vegan leather and it’s place within the contemporary fashion landscape. Did you know that vegan leather is usually made of PU, which is polyurethane, which is made from oil? The majority of vegan leather you will find on the high street especially is made of PU. Having oil products so close to your skin is a little worrying right? However there are some exciting new innovative plant based textiles that are fabulous faux leather substitutes.Plant Based AlternativesOne brand using these alternatives is Mashu. I originally came across Mashu at London Fashion Week and couldn’t believe that these cool, sculptural bags were made of eco friendly materials. Mashu’s Founder Ioanna is passionate about creating really good quality leather substitutes for vegans and people who want an eco alternative to leather. The brand is manufactured in her native Greece and she uses all sorts of interesting materials to try to be as close to zero waste as possible. In this conversation she tells us about the cons of real leather production and tanning and why she believes that plant based textiles are the future for accessories brands. With thanks to the wonderful Ioanna TopouzoglouPlease Support The Vendeur & Join Our CommunityInstagramFacebookPinterestSeries Credits Host Lucy KebbellTheme created by Joe Murgatroyd Podcast powered and distributed by Simplecast

In this episode I interview Lois Eastlund, vegan fashion designer of her eponymous brand in New York. Lois has loved fashion since she was a child and knew at the age of 11 that she wanted to attend NYC's Fashion Institute of Technology. After gaining her degree from there several years later, she entered the industry, working in Manhattan's Garment District for more than 30 years as a designer in menswear, womenswear, junior sportswear and tween clothing. During this time she also ran her own shop in the East Village and leveraged her line of streetwear, wholesaling to vendors throughout Europe, Asia and the US, including New York City's Patricia Fields. In 2008, after years of freelancing, vending at weekend markets and participating in an independent designer co-op in NoHo, Lois opened her eponymous boutique on the Lower East Side. For five years, the store stocked her line of men's shirts and women's dresses that embodied her signature aesthetic – bold patterns and flattering tailoring – which continue to define her brand to this day. In 2013, Lois made a strategic decision to close her physical store and focus on online fashion to reach a broader audience for her designs, which are aimed at the modern woman who is young at heart, while taking advantage of also showcasing her wares at local pop-up events. Lois and her designs have appeared in a number of media outlets including The New York Times, Women's Wear Daily, CBS News This Morning, and many more, and she is the co-founder of digital vegan fashion magazine La Fashionista Compassionista. While Lois went vegan in 2011, her fashion line has always been animal-free, sewn by hand, by her, from cotton and cotton blends. Most recently she has been making print-on-demand t-shirts and other accessories which she sells on Redbubble and Amazon. In this interview Lois discusses: • How not knowing what you are doing when starting a business can be a bonus • How an incident early on in her business taught her to eliminate ‘middle men' and to deal directly with manufacturers and suppliers • A strategy she uses to keep the cost of fabrics down and how this influences her designs • Why she closed her physical store in 2012 and moved into running an online-only fashion brand • The pros and cons of being involved in high-profile fashion events such as New York Fashion Week • Why she chooses to continue to make all the garments herself (and how this can be a good selling point in a business) • And much more Visit the Lois Eastlund website Check out Lois's designs on Redbubble and Amazon Find out more about La Fashionista Compassionista magazine Brands mentioned in vegan business news roundup: leCupboard  RESOURCES: My Online PR Course for Vegan Business Owners & Entrepreneurs: Vegans in the Limelight My book Vegan Ventures: Start and Grow an Ethical Business Follow Vegan Business Media on: Facebook   Twitter  Instagram  Connect with me personally at: Facebook  Twitter  LinkedIn
