CRUELTY FREE SWAP | NON-VEGAN TED BAKER COAT VS. VAUTE VEGAN, SUSTAINABLE COAT

The transition to ethical, vegan fashion is a journey, and mine has been gradual. I still have a few items in my closet that are non-vegan. Like this gorgeous cashmere and wool blend wrap coat from Ted Baker.

Wool and cashmere are not vegan due to the harm that can (and often does) come to the animals involved. I know there is a stigma with wool that the animal is "just getting a haircut," so what's the big deal? But accidental cuts and mutilation happen regularly during sheering. Cuts and gouges are often left untreated. And there has been documented physical abuse of sheep at many farms. Therefore, I think it's worth looking at alternatives.

From my personal experience, finding an alternative to "dressy" wool coats in the vegan & sustainable fashion stratosphere was quite challenging. There are lots of down-feather alternatives, but wool alternatives are pretty scarce. So, I began my journey to find a chic, warm, and ethical replacement to my Ted Baker coat. That's when I came across VAUTE based out of NYC.

Vaute makes some of THE BEST vegan coats out there! I'm so glad I stumbled across them while there was still time.
