While veganism is becoming increasingly popular, the use of plant-based material has also become something of a growing movement in fashion. Along with balancing socio-economic impacts, slow fashion is also making amendments to live free of animal-based products with innovative alternatives. Here’s a lowdown on brands that are helping make our wardrobe contents free of animal-procured silk and leather.
