WHO IS BEHIND THE ZEBRA VEGAN SHOP ONLINE STORE?
Who is the founder of this vegan fashion site?
It's me, Cyrielle, concerned about animal welfare since I was little, it's been many years now that I made the choice to no longer have animals on my plate and in my wardrobe.
I have always loved clothes, shoes, bags, decoration, beautiful colors, beautiful materials. But in the world of leather goods, it is not always easy to find beautiful things that do not hide suffering behind them! Whether it is animal or human suffering. Buying shoes or bags without leather, in synthetic material, is possible and that is what I wore for a very long time. We can find them quite easily and at affordable prices. But where was it made? In what working conditions? Are there really no products of animal origin used in the making?
Why the idea of an online vegan fashion store?
Having myself spent hours and hours on the web looking for THE perfect bag or pair of shoes , I know how tedious it can be to navigate from site to site, it can become a real headache!
Zebra Vegan Shop was born from a desire to invest in a project that suits me, combining fashion and my ethical values . Motivated to change consumption patterns in order to preserve animals and the planet , I select for you responsible and vegan brands , which combine trend and quality , ready to prove that cruelty-free and exploitation-free fashion is possible. (I wrote a full article to explain how I choose ethical brands )
What can we find in this vegan store?
On Zebra Vegan Shop you will find a selection of vegan shoes, bags and accessories, for men and women . I am quite eclectic in my tastes in fashion , I love vintage , slightly bohemian styles but also much more streetwear looks. So I wanted to offer a varied choice and different universes.
All items are certified vegan by PETA . I choose the brands I wanted to collaborate with myself, they are transparent about the materials used and have them manufactured in Europe under good working conditions . Some of them use recycled and recyclable materials. Only one brand is not European: Sealand Gear . All their bags are handcrafted in Cape Town, using recycled fabrics such as boat sails , but also plastic waste found in the ocean. I know that bringing items from far away is not very environmentally friendly, but supporting Sealand was really important to me. I invite you to discover more about their beautiful values.
Buying Vegan doesn't mean being flawless, it 's just taking a path which moves towards kindness for animals , humans and the planet.
If you're wondering why I chose the name Zebra, it's here!
