Caring Companies: Now for the GOOD news...

Look how long this list is!

See below for a list of retailers and designers who commit to not selling or using fur and cosmetics companies who do not test their products on animals.

In fashion, it’s less common to find lines that go completely leather-free as well (also known as vegan lines) but if any of the brands below are followed with an asterisk, they are also leather-free (and for these I have provided websites – some of them do not sell directly).

It heartens my little G&G soul to see so many companies on this list! The even better news is that this list is not exhaustive - I didn't want to overload it so I didn't include all the companies, but tried to include favourites. So if you want to know about any others, just shoot me an email!

You don't have to be cruel to be kind (especially not with this list!),
