They design a full range of styles, so whether you're looking for vegan sandals, vegan chelsea boots, or some toasty vegan slippers, V.GAN has you covered.
Founders
Derrick Hoyle and Marcel Bordon were obsessed with shoes – so when they decided to launch their own brand, it was obvious that they would challenge one of fashion's biggest leather users, the footwear industry.
"You do not have to harm animals or the planet to have a great lifestyle. There is another way – the V.GAN way."
Materials
Recycled fabrics feature heavily in V.GAN's range, whether it's recycled polyester linings made from plastic bottles or recycled polyurethane insoles. The brand's shoelaces are made with organic cotton and their glues are water-based, meaning that no animal ingredients are used. V.GAN is free from PVC and also uses bio-based corn leather.
People
As an ethical business, all people in the supply chain are paid a living wage.
Production
Materials are sourced from Portugal, Spain, and China. V.GAN audits their factories regularly.
Packaging
Only recycled cardboard is used in V.GAN's packaging, which is also entirely free from glue.
Animals
V.GAN is a PETA-Approved Vegan brand, with no animals used in any of its products.
