Like vegan food, vegan fashion is intended to be cruelty-free. No leather, fur or wool on the menu: plant fibres, recycled fabrics and high-tech materials take over materials produced by animal farming. But it\u2019s not only foreign designers like Stella McCartney who do the honours in fashion shows! Vegan fashion is also many Canadian designers\u2019 craze, whose creations perfectly reflect their convictions. Here are 5 local brands that cook up fashion with a vegan twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\"mode<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Matt & Nat<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The brand was launched in Montreal in 1995\u2026 long before veganism became topical\/trendy! Matt & Nat, an industry pioneer in Canada, owes its name to the contraction of \u201cMat(t)erial\u201d and \u201cNature\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the sake of social responsibility and authenticity, all clothing, shoes and bags made of vegan leather from the brand are produced from responsible and ecological fabrics (nylon, cork and recycled rubber tops). Proof: the bags and coats\u2019 lining are made from plastic bottles! Nature even inspires the colour chart of Matt & Nat\u2019s creations: we mainly find khaki, brown, rust, grey and black. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Montreal-based company gleams with its refined, contemporary designs. They market them online and also distribute them in more than 800 outlets in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany and Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeane & Jax<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Jeane & Jax describes itself as a luxury vegan brand specialized in handbags and shoes. Inspired by Montreal\u2019s multiculturalism and artistic flair, it offers fashionable accessories for all occasions (office, weekend and socialities). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All items bearing the Jeane & Jax label are made ethically, using high-quality vegan materials and metal parts free of heavy metals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love their elegant quilted pouches, their handy travel bags and their casual sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KOTN<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

KOTN was born out of a desire to create conscientiously and to consume better. Specializing in ethical and high-quality basics, the Toronto label has been offering \u2013 since 2015 \u2013 certified organic Egyptian cotton essentials: t-shirts, shirts, dresses, trousers, etc. The simple cuts and pure materials of KOTN pieces make them, without fail, wardrobe classics you\u2019ll like to wear for years. And even more so as we know that the label encourages fair trade and collaborative practices leading to a more prosperous future for the harvesters and designers it works with. For example, KOTN shows good citizenship by allocating part of its revenues to the construction and administration of schools in the Nile Delta, where it sources cotton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Baro<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Combining durability and functionality, Baro Drywear specializes in the manufacture of outdoor clothing as soft for humans as for the planet. Suitable for every temperature, its hi-tech creations are made of 80% recycled material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, reconditioned plastic bottles and nylon scraps from major manufacturers are Baro\u2019s main materials. Water-repellent and warm (but light), the coats that bear its signature are also endowed with a strong potential of breathability\u2014no wonder the brand was born in Vancouver, one of the dampest cities in the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baro\u2019s coat design is sober and sleek so that they can be worn in the city as in the countryside, for many years. Notable: the Vancouver brand proudly wears the PETA seal, attesting to its vegan manufacture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friend & Faux<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Based in Victoria, British Columbia, the brand is the standard-bearer of the convictions of its founders, who advocate for the animal cause. They wanted to spread vegan messages on a large scale, in a friendly and humorous way. They teamed up with a small local printing shop and used vegetable ink to create t-shirts and totes with phrases as punchy as \u201cBe Nice to Animals\u201d, \u201cSave the Planet, Go Vegan\u201d and \u201cI don\u2019t eat anything that poops!\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The small factory of Friend & Faux manages to market quality items, without waste and at reduced costs. But the brand does not stop there! It\u2019s actively involved in the vegan cause by donating 10% of its profits to Hooves Farm Sanctuary, a Western Canadian vegan organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veganism is not just about food. It is a way of thinking and a lifestyle that dictates the choices we make, including everything we choose to consume.
