A major part of my work ethos is creating garments and accessories that don't include animal products. I've already collected some materials I could use which would be alternatives to ones that come from animals. I believe that you can still create pieces that have a high quality finish and overall chic aesthetic using the products I have listed. Throughout this project and other future projects I will only use products that are suitable for vegans and do so in a way that doesn't compromise the aesthetic. Usually when I'm looking for materials I stay away from leather, wool, silk, cashmere and any materials with a beeswax coating, other than that other materials should be suitable but if you have any questions I'd ask until you are 100% sure.
