Iconic Vegan Sandals

Birkenstock's Most Recognizable Style is Available in Vegan Leather Sandals

— January 27, 2017 — Fashion
There are tons of vegan leather sandals on the market, but some of them are poorly made with inexpensive synthetic materials and simply can't stand regular wear and tear. As a result, many turn to genuine leather goods without realizing that there are high-quality vegan leather sandals available.

'The Arizona' is the classic, high-quality Birkenstock design that so many people around the world have come to know and love—except for those who are ethically opposed to wearing leather. Fortunately, vegans are now able to enjoy the iconic style that has the potential to last a lifetime. In place of real leather, the vegan-friendly Arizona design is now made with a microfiber and cork structure.

Other than just producing a variety of vegan leather goods, some prominent fashion brands are now actively marketing vegan leather as an affordable and cruelty-free alternative that represents the future of fashion.
Trend Themes
1. High-quality Vegan Leather - The rise of high-quality vegan leather offers an opportunity for innovative fashion brands to create durable and sustainable products that cater to ethical consumers.
2. Cruelty-free Fashion - The growing demand for cruelty-free fashion presents an opportunity for brands to develop innovative marketing strategies that promote vegan leather as an affordable and ethical alternative to traditional leather products.
3. Sustainable Material Alternatives - The increasing availability of sustainable materials like microfiber and cork opens up opportunities for brands to explore eco-friendly options and create disruptive products that appeal to environmentally conscious consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can capitalize on the rise of high-quality vegan leather and develop innovative designs that cater to the growing demand for cruelty-free and sustainable fashion.
2. Footwear - The footwear industry has the opportunity to create disruptive vegan sandal designs using sustainable materials, appealing to both vegans and environmentally conscious consumers.
3. Accessories - The accessories industry can tap into the demand for cruelty-free alternatives and develop innovative vegan leather products such as bags, wallets, and belts.
