Being a vegan certainly gives you less options when it comes to staying warm during the winter season, but you can stay warm with the Vaute Couture Vegan Coats.
According to TreeHugger.com the “coats are recyclable and made in the USA with Polartec Wind Pro fabric for weather protection. They are lined with satin from the Teijin Eco Circle (a 100% post-consumer/recycled polyester) windproof ripstop satin, and finished with buttons that are either dead stock metal from a UK factory, or made from the tagua nut—also known as ‘vegetable ivory.’ All pieces are fair trade and constructed in Chicago by workers who are paid a living wage or above.” So basically, these jackets are cool enough for even non-vegans to want one of these Vaute Couture Vegan Coats.
