When you’re vegan, finding something as basic as shoes that aren’t made with leather or another animal product can be a huge hassle. Sure, there are always the good ol’ canvas & rubber sneakers, but what about when you want dress shoes for work or some cute summer sandals?

At Alternative Outfitters, you can find animal-free shoes, clothing and accessories to go with any outfit. Standout lines include J-41 Eco Design shoes made from recycled animal-friendly materials with 100% recycled packaging. You’ll also find lots of fun reusable shopper totes like the Gigi Trees Grocery Tote by Bungalow 360, Green Label Organic cotton tees, and chic AmyKathryn vegan shoulder bags.

Founder Jackie Horrick’s cruelty-free fashion agenda also incorporates an environmental objective. While the vegan lifestyle isn’t for everyone, consuming fewer animal products is better for the environment because livestock generates more greenhouse gases than any form of transportation. So animal-free also means eco-friendly!

The Alternative Outfitters store is located at 408 S. Pasadena Ave. Suite 1, Pasadena, CA 91105. Phone: (626) 396-4972. Or you can shop online at www.alternativeoutfitters.com.
