• Cruelty-Free Goth

    Hello people. My topic today is about how it’s hard to find things in my style that are cruelty-free.

    I love the Gothic and Punk style, and sometimes I find a Steampunk item that I like. I see a lot of things that are cruelty-free, however some most items (particularly shoes) typically are made of leather and some even have fur trim! *gag* I’m also not too into girly things, so I avoid heels at all costs, and they’re typically the ones with no leather or fur.
    It’s also not like most people’s fashion, where I have an abundance of options to choose from; most the stuff I find has to be online. There aren’t many Gothic attire shops just lying around in Ontario, unless I travel to Toronto, which I do about once or twice a year, otherwise, it’s really hard for me to go shopping.

    I was wondering if there were any people out there who know some cruelty free sites that’s offer Gothic/Punk attire. I’ll also accept Steampunk.

    Thanks for reading!

    I’m also putting this out there in case if there are any other people in my situation.

    P.S: I already e-mailed a Gothic shoe company asking them to be cruelty free, because I love their styles, but they’re all leather and fur! *shudder*

    Etsy is also a good one although may be more expensive than ebay if its handmade rather than preowned like ebay.

    I’m a vegan goth!! I often look for clothing in second-hand/charity shops then customise it to suit my style.

    I agree with @VeganCaramel, eBay is great for finding vegan goth-style items. I really like this seller: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/REFUSE-TO-BE-USUAL And have bought vegan shoes and clothing from them several times with no issues.

    As for non-girly goth shoes, I like Mad Fish boots or shoes from Demonia, and a lot of their styles are vegan I believe.

    You can find plenty of (inexpensive) black vegan leather on ebay:

    I’ve only recently started shopping for clothing on ebay, and it’s worked out really well for me – a lot more vegan options to choose from, and a lot of alternative clothing options you won’t find in your average mall.

    As an eclectic Wiccan, I respect and worship nature and do my best to preserve its beauty. With this worship comes the respect for Mother Earth's creatures, and I have chosen a vegan path in order to lessen the suffering.

    I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

    I have always lived in Los Angeles but my family and I went to Mexico for my parents wedding. So we came back to LA. I don't like LA but were here already what can I do unless I move out and find my own housing. I have always liked animals and it was til I was like about 14 when I learned about tests they do on animals and I began to explore animal cruelty because I was interested it in it. I have watched videos that just broke my heart so that's why today I'm doing all I can to not buy anything that has harmed an animal and I'm vegetarian .
