Vegan Gifts For Him
Choosing a gift for a man isn't the easiest feat to begin with, but choosing a sustainable, vegan gift for a man? That's no small mountain to climb. Sustainable fashion for men is still a work in progress, and despite the market expanding, pickings are still slim. Luckily, we're here to help you get it right - both for the man in your life, and for the sake of the planet.
Fashionable gifts for men can range from belts and slippers to socks and wallets - accessories or small extras are often the way to go. Choose sustainably made, plant-derived materials to let your gift subtly spread the message of conscious living.
These sleek accessories add polish to his wardrobe while staying environmentally conscious - brands like Votch and Watson & Wolfe offer hard-wearing, durable belts for a sleek appeal. Watson & Wolfe's Miller belt is made partially from corn, and can easily be worn with anything from jeans to dressier trousers.
Sneakers are the perfect blend of effortless comfort and supreme style. Made from natural materials such as rubber, corn, and recycled fibres, consciously made vegan sneakers are as ideal for long walks as they are for lazy weekend hangs. Ration.L and Mood Walk offer colour and style to fit any wardrobe. Looking for something sportier with a bit more support? Check out Bahè's functional, grounding style.
The new crop of sustainably made wallets and cardholders is not only vegan and eco-conscious, it also protects your personal belongings: some, such as the sleek styles from Oliver Co, use RFID technology which blocks radio frequency signals to avoid unauthorised access to credit cards and any card with a chip. Help the man in your life protect his assets in style - while protecting the planet.
Give the gift of cruelty-free style with vegan watches featuring straps made from fruit such as apples and pineapples. These are also much less environmentally intensive than animal-derived leather, using much less land and fewer fertilisers and pesticides. Votch's solar designs are powered by the advanced EPSON AS01 solar movement, also eliminating the need for disposable batteries.
Comfort and cosiness meet high-tech innovation in the new breed of vegan slippers made from eco-conscious materials. V.GAN is leading the way with their Taro design - a footbed sandal with a difference. It's made with recycled PU and a footbed in cork for consciously versatile style.
Whether you're looking for a slogan tee, a cosy jumper, or a weather-proof parka, VEGAN Happy is your go-to. This UK-based cruelty-free brand carries activist-inspired apparel and accessories made from organic cotton and recycled plastic filler in the puffer jackets. Take your pick from a versatile range of vegan wardrobe essentials.
