I Love League of Lovers and Thieves

No, it’s not some cheesy Disney ride.
League of Lovers and Thieves is an awesome Canadian eco-boutique. They sell sustainable, earth friendly fashions for men and women. Even though they are Canadian, their website is global ready — you can even shop in the currency of your choice!

Last Call: Vegan Boots from Alternative Outfitters

These boots are so pretty, I almost cried when I read the “no more of these boots will be in stock” disclaimer at the bottom.
Although, that really shouldn’t matter because with my monster feet (11/12 baby!), the chances of them actually fitting me are slim to none.
Alternative Outfitters is cleaning out their shelves to make […]

What IS Vegan Leather Anyway?

A lot of the products I feature here — especially bags and shoes — are made out of “vegan leather”. While vegan leather is an animal-friendly alternative to real leather, it can mean several different materials.

(This jacket is completely animal free!)
Vegan leathers include:

Vegetan: This is a microfibre material that is specifically designed and used as […]
