Great Design + Animal/Eco-Friendly = A Happy Girl

Periodically, goHaute likes to highlight the animal-friendly and eco-smart options available for the girl who doesn’t want to compromise her style for her beliefs. Luckily, more and more designers and labels are offering pieces that meet the needs of our conscientious but fashion-loving community.

There are some lines that just simply refuse to manufacture their products with animal-derived materials. Stella McCartney designs all of her pieces, including her Adidas line, without the use of any leather. And recently, Té Casan launched a line of cruelty-free shoes designed by actress Natalie Portman, who, up until now, had only worn shoes from McCartney and Target. To up the eco ante even more, all of the proceeds from Portman’s line go to The Nature Conservancy.
