Guide to Suppliers of Vegan Fabrics and Materials

Published March 10, 2016 by PETA. Last Updated August 3, 2023.

Consumers are choosing compassion today more than ever. They want to know that no animals were harmed to create the things they wear. Would you like to feature vegan materials? These suppliers can provide you with innovative vegan options.

VEGAN FUR

Faux fur looks and feels just like animal fur and enables designers to choose the exact plushness, thickness, and hue that they desire. Just a few of today’s many wonderful examples can be found in the collections of Stella McCartney, Shrimps, Ralph Lauren, and Calvin Klein, all of which refuse to use fur.
