These days, eating a plant-based diet is the easy part. The vegan food aisle is overflowing. Building a wardrobe that reflects those same values, however, takes a little more effort.
First, the obvious: leather is out. Happily, there are more alternatives than ever — and some of them are genuinely extraordinary. But vegan fashion goes well beyond ditching leather and fur. Silk, wool, and cashmere are all animal-derived too, which means even seemingly harmless wardrobe staples don’t always make the cut.
The good news? The brands on this list are committed to doing things differently. Not only do they avoid animal products, but they also prioritise sustainable production — and crucially, they’re all currently trading and worth your money.
1. Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney has spent 25 years proving that luxury and ethics don’t have to be in conflict. She’s never used leather, fur, skins, or animal glues — not once. And in 2026, that conviction is more commercially credible than ever.
In 2025, she repurchased the minority stake held by LVMH, returning the brand to full independent ownership. That same year, her Autumn collection used 99% conscious materials. Then, for her Summer 2026 runway show, she debuted FEVVERS — the world’s first plant-based, cruelty-free alternative to feathers. As a result, TIME named her one of its 2026 Earth Award honorees, recognising 25 years of sustainable fashion leadership.
Her Winter 2026 collection similarly drew on 93% sustainable materials. Specifically, innovations included knitwear from yeast-fermented proteins instead of wool, water-free recycled denim, non-plastic sequins, and eco-leather from fermentation. In short, it’s not greenwashing — it’s the real thing, and the results look like luxury fashion.
Beyond clothing, the brand covers women, men, kids, and a unisex collection. It also offers vegan shoe and bag lines, many using materials like UPPEAL apple leather and YATAY mycelium-based alternatives to exotic skins.
2. Will’s Vegan Store
Will’s Vegan Store started in London in 2012 and has since become one of the most trusted names in vegan fashion. The range covers shoes, boots, trainers, bags, belts, wallets, knitwear, jackets, and clothing. Moreover, the team makes everything in Europe using bio-based vegan leather and sustainable materials. Nothing contains animal products, and all packaging skips the plastic entirely.
Above all, the footwear stands out. Styles range from Goodyear welt dress shoes to waterproof hiking boots to trainers — and customers regularly wear them for five years or more. Their LDN Sneakers are biodegradable, while the Aviator boots have become a cult favourite. Furthermore, skilled makers in Italy and Portugal craft every single pair.
Will’s ships worldwide and holds PETA’s vegan approval. On top of that, the brand runs a take-back scheme: send old Will’s shoes back and the team turns the materials into new outsoles and uppers. Ultimately, that kind of circular thinking is what separates a genuinely ethical brand from one that’s simply marketing itself as one.
3. Reformation
Reformation does sustainable fashion stylishly — and seriously. The brand started in Los Angeles in 2009 and has since built a cult following for its well-cut dresses, tailored separates, and trend-led basics. Today, it has stores across the UK, including London, alongside a growing wholesale presence.
In 2024, the brand sourced 98% of its materials from recycled, regenerative, or renewable sources. Consequently, it won the Best Circularity Initiative at the Drapers Conscious Fashion Awards 2025. Its RefRecycling programme makes 69% of products textile-to-textile recyclable. Additionally, a resale partnership with Poshmark lets customers easily relist purchases — and the brand is actively working to extend this to UK and European platforms.
One note for strict vegans: Reformation uses some silk and cashmere, so it isn’t fully vegan across every product. Nevertheless, the brand is actively working to phase these out. Overall, for a broad sustainable wardrobe — dresses, denim, outerwear, swimwear — this is one of the best options at the accessible-luxury price point right now.
4. Leticia Credidio
Leticia Credidio is a London-based designer with a very specific and very well-executed focus: sustainable, vegan sleepwear and loungewear that’s genuinely beautiful. Notably, the brand showed at London Fashion Week 2025 and holds membership of the British Fashion Council.
Credidio is Italian-Japanese-Brazilian, and that cross-cultural sensibility shows clearly in her work. For instance, her Ocean collection uses SeaCell — a certified seaweed fibre that releases hydration and nutrients directly onto skin. Her newer Sky collection, meanwhile, draws on Japanese Vegan Silk. Her Winter Birds collection uses GOTS-certified organic cotton, and skilled hands in Italy craft every piece.
Credidio designs everything in East London, then sends production to a family-run atelier in Emilia Romagna, Italy. There, the women work limited hours, earn fair wages, and use fabric offcuts to make their own garments each month. Furthermore, the brand makes all packaging from discarded textiles collected at a London recycling centre. The result is a genuinely holistic operation — and clothes beautiful enough to wear well beyond the bedroom.
5. LaBante London
Vanita Badlani founded LaBante in 2009 after spotting a clear gap in the market: no one made truly beautiful, high-quality bags that were also cruelty-free and sustainable. The brand’s name comes from Sanskrit, meaning “to truly achieve” — and it’s an apt choice.
Every LaBante product carries PETA’s vegan approval, and the brand keeps everything PVC-free. For the interiors, the team uses fabric from recycled plastic bottles salvaged from landfill. For the exteriors, meanwhile, they turn to vegetable-based leathers — including apple leather from Tyrol, Italy. In addition, the brand has expanded into shoes and trainers, with apple leather uppers, pure rubber soles, and laces from recycled plastic bottles.
Recently, LaBante has stepped up its environmental commitments even further. For every item sold, the brand now plants ten trees in Madagascar, making each purchase carbon-neutral. On top of that, it donates 10% of annual profits to charitable causes. One of its bags has even earned a place in the Victoria & Albert Museum. Clearly, this is a brand that’s growing — and growing with purpose.
Vegan fashion has come a long way. Today, the choice is no longer between looking good and doing right. In fact, the brands above prove you can do both — comfortably, and at every budget.
