We all know there are loads of great vegan food blogs out there. In fact, Eluxe often covers vegan recipes from some of our faves, including Oh She Glows, Chocolate Covered Katie, Rawmazing and more.
But what about fashion? It’s actually harder than you’d think to find inspiring vegan fashion blogs. Not because there’s a lack of great vegan brands out there, but because quite often, people seem to give up on their sites! Researching this piece, for example, I found loads of interesting blogs, but then I realised that many of them hadn’t updated their posts for years.
It’s a shame: from vegan accessories to vegan shoes, there are some beautiful products made by designers who promote cruelty-free lifestyles. While we cover these regularly in Eluxe, we do sometimes have vegetarian recipes (with cheese and stuff) and also cover upcycled or recycled leather and eco-friendly silk, which means we can’t be classified as a ‘vegan blog’ ourselves. So, who can you follow out there that’s strictly vegan?
It may not be a huge list, but we found 6 Vegan Fashion Blogs that we definitely think are worthy of your attention. Did we miss one you love? Please tell us in the comments, below.
1. Vegan Fashion Blog
This is a great place to start if you’re new to vegan living. Offering advice on where to find vegan purses and accessories, as well as skincare and other products, this blog run by the charming Kim Vilyus is useful, informative and promotes eco-friendly vegan lifestyles in creative ways. We love her taste in vegan accessories, and are also pretty keen on her regular giveaways!
2. My Non Leather Life
Run by a 27-year-old New Yorker named Victoria, the blog “focuses on living the vegan lifestyle in style”. Victoria shares her passion for animal rights with her readers, promotes vegan living and has some great suggestions for stunning vegan shoes. From sophisticated high heels to cute boots, this blog proves that your wardrobe doesn’t have to be limited by your vegan lifestyle.
3. The Streets I Know: Vegan Style
Long-standing vegan Melanie Pyves, who was featured in Melisser Elliott’s Book ‘The Vegan Girl’s Guide To Life,’ promotes vegan-friendly fashion that is accessible and can be found in any city. The focus of The Streets I Know: Vegan Style is on cruelty-free fashion and the message is clear: choose vegan-friendly fashion to help animals, people and the world.
4. Ethical Code
It may be a bit hard to read (unless you’re Italian, ‘cos that’s the language of this blog), but Ethical Code makes up for that with its gorgeous photography. As an added bonus, since this blog is run by Italians, not only are there loads of bags, shoes and outfits that are ethically made in Italy, most of them are also brands that are probably completely new and exciting to you!
5. Chic Vegan
Beauty, fashion, food – this is a full on lifestyle blog, more like a magazine really. It features interviews, recipes, news and of course, loads of cruelty-free fashion. What you’ll love here is the diversity and the education: there’s a whole lot of interesting stuff to read!
Ethical Elephant by Vicky Ly
Creator Vicki Ly created Ethical Elephant to be a cruelty-free and vegan lifestyle guide and above all, a voice for animals. She asked herself, “How do we get people to care about animals enough to change their consumer habits?” This blog aims to provide various answers. Ly features vegan fashion and lifestyle tips on a colourful and playful platform.
These 6 are fab, but why aren’t there more? There’s clearly a gap in the market. If you’re into cruelty-free fashion in a big way, why not start your own blog? It’s worth noting that domain endings such as .eco can be picked up here. The internet is awash with fashion bloggers who have found their niche in the world of vegan fashion – you can too!

Apr 5, 2016 at 10:48 amCool post – I hadn’t heard of Ethical Code so thanks for the recommendation. As you mentioned was the fate of many other vegan fashion blogs, Duckalicious also hasn’t posted since March 2015 so I think she must have bowed out. It’s a shame though because I was fond of her monochromatic minimalism.

But then I’d have nothing to look at, lol. Loved the Alexander Maureen dress from the other day, with all the little prints all over it.

Oct 30, 2017 at 4:46 amGreat article ELUXE! So good to see so many awesome individuals helping change the way we with think about fashion and how we can all be more mindful of the ethical attributes of what we wear. Creating ethical bags and accessories is a passion of mine and would love to hear your thoughts about my brand Thea & Theos.
