Vegan Couture: Spring/Summer 2010

So far, this blog has primarily focused on food and travel. From now on, I hope to add a seasonal "Vegan Couture" column, aimed at introducing my readers to fashionable apparel that is animal cruelty-free. Please let me know what you think of this new feature!

The original Valentino Petale Tote

The Valentino Petale Tote is so 2009. But knockoff versions seem to be popping up all over the place. Thanks to Big Buddha, you can enjoy a leather-free version of this beauty for a tiny fraction of the cost! All of Big Buddha's bags are guaranteed to be 100% animal-friendly and cruelty-free.

Gladiator booties by Michael Kors

Gladiator booties are everywhere this season. I can't seem to walk past a shoe store without seeing them in the display case. Unlike the ancient Romans, we are fortunate enough to have high-quality leather alternatives. Moo Shoes has several leather-free, gladiator-inspired sandals available on its website.

Cottisford Trench by Burberry

I've been drooling over the Cottisford Trench ever since Burberry introduced it last winter. Although the coat is 100% cotton (no animal products!), the price is 1000% higher than I would normally pay. Luckily for me, I was able to find a similar coat by Idra at my local Anthropologie store.
