Let me start by disclosing that I am not a vegetarian or a vegan. However, just because my lifestyle includes the occasional pepperoni & pineapple pizza, it doesn’t mean that I don’t care about what I’m wearing. Perhaps my first step into changing my lifestyle is to start with including vegan animal prints in my wardrobe. As you definitely already know, life is just better in animal prints. And even better in vegan-friendly options.
During my research for vegan animal prints, I came across a few articles asking the question: Is wearing animal prints against being vegan or vegetarian? The way I see it, if vegan restaurants serve “pulled pork” and “chicken” wraps, then why can’t boutiques sell fashion-friendly leopard, snake and tiger prints?
Also, with more and more high-end designers going fur-and-cruelty-free, let’s hope that it’ll trickle down the fashion food chain and become the norm. Let’s stay fierce and fashion-conscious in these vegan animal prints!

HFS Collective
Belt bags are what HFS Collective does best. They only source “the most innovative, animal and earth-friendly materials” that they can find. The best part: 2% of every sale is donated to organizations that empower women and protect the planet. Now this is a bag I can get behind.

Reformation
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: sustainable doesn’t mean “ugly.” Reformation proves this time & time again with their fabulously fierce vegan animal prints. Don’t you just love this dress? Ethical leopard print never looked so stylish.

Beyond Skin
Although these cute ankle boots are detailed with a gorgeous snakeskin print, they’re completely vegan. Beyond Skin is an ethical footwear label that uses only the most luxurious materials and handcrafts all of their shoes in Spain. ¡Que bueno! I don’t think there is anything wrong with animal-printed vegan designs.

If you want seriously luxury shoes that are completely vegan, fashionable & stylish—look no further than Cult of Coquette. I discovered this gorgeous L.A.-based brand while doing research for another post I wrote about ethical animal prints. I am now the proud owner of their Azar leopard print pumps! Although, I still have my eye on these Sophia cheetah print heels too. I want need them all.

Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney is the O.G. of vegan animal prints! She really paved the way for other high-end designers to follow in her ferociously animal-friendly footsteps. And best of all, she loves a fierce, statement leopard print.
A lot of the vegan fashion I found were shoes and bags. Does anyone know any clothing designers that make vegan animal prints? I’d love to know more if you find them! Stay fierce, babes.
