Crueltyfree Vegan Jacket

Vegan design is the use of vegan products in such contexts as interior design, fashion design, household goods,[1] and the arts. Such products are also known as humane or cruelty-free and "[do] not originate from any living creature, [are] not an animal byproduct and [are] not tested on animals."[2]

Vegan design is seen as an outgrowth of the vegan food movement, based on related ethical stances and claims of sustainability.[3] Not all designers who practice vegan design, however, agree on the underlying claims, such as those for sustainability.[4]

Proponents and other practitioners of vegan design include such designers as Deborah DiMare,[5] Philippe Starck,[6] and Stella McCartney.[7]

Materials used by vegan designers are often plant-based. Examples include leather substitutes such as Piñatex, made from pineapple, and Apple Ten Lork,[8] made from apple skins and cores. Also, feathers and wool are replaced with materials such as buckwheat, bamboo, and cotton.[9]
