Fashion lovers, this one’s for you! In exciting news for sustainable fashion, Blue District has launched “Ethical Plumes,” the world’s first vegan alternative to ostrich feathers. The company’s founder, Cici Voise, has spent two years collaborating with experts to develop a product that is lightweight, soft, and cruelty-free, making it a viable option for fashion designers who want to reduce their environmental impact and avoid using animal products.

Ostrich feathers have long been a popular choice in the fashion industry, thanks to their softness, fluffiness, and unique appearance. Unfortunately, traditional ostrich feather production involves the killing of millions of birds each year, making it an unsustainable and unethical practice. Additionally, even when ostrich feathers are sourced from farms where the birds are not killed, the feathers are still considered non-vegan, as they are an animal product. Thankfully, a new option now exists!

Blue District’s “Ethical Plumes” have solved this problem by mimicking the look and feel of traditional ostrich feathers without causing harm to any animals. By utilizing a specific sewing method, fine threading, and eco-friendly dyes, Blue District has created a product that is both fashionable and ethical.

Launching their vegan ostrich feathers on a sleek black dress made of bamboo fiber, Blue District is set to lead the way in a sustainable and compassionate fashion. This launch is expected to have a positive impact on animal welfare and the environment, as fashion designers and consumers shift toward cruelty-free alternatives. The introduction of “Ethical Plumes” marks a new era in sustainable fashion, where style and ethics can coexist!

For those who aren't familiar with this brand, their clothing is manufactured in a Gold WRAP certified facility (for fair labor standards - read more about WRAP certification here : [X] ). And here is more information on the company's eco/sustainability practices : [X].

Here is an excerpt from the above linked article :

Ostriches do not have a moulting season, and so their feathers are either plucked or cut off. With such little transparency in the industry, which is unregulated in some countries, there is little way to be sure of the most common method of feather collection.

While live plucking is forbidden in many areas where ostriches are farmed, undercover investigations of the industry have documented routine live plucking of birds in South Africa, where most feathers used in the fashion industry are sourced.

Vegan Fashion - A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners

If you are looking to get into vegan fashion, read this article thoroughly to learn all about what vegan fashion is and the benefits of trying the new vegan trend.

An Introduction to Vegan Fashion

There are a lot of fashion trends in the industry. Some of the fashion trends such as silk, cashmere wool, leather shoes or jackets, etc., contain animal materials and by-products. While others are simply made without harming the animals. These types of trends which are becoming more popular nowadays, are known as vegan fashion. 

In vegan fashion, the clothes are made using animal cruelty-free methods and materials. The embroidery is animal thread-free and the printing work uses friendly inks. 

Now that you have a brief idea about vegan fashion, let’s explore some of the benefits of trying sustainable fashion.

More Affordable than Leather

One of the benefits of getting into animal cruelty-free fashion is affordability. Vegan clothes are more budget-friendly than leather or animal material apparel. If you have a minimum budget for buying caps, jackets or footwear, then you can go online and search for the exact items vegan, as they are more affordable and eco-friendly. 

Cause Less Skin Irritation

Another advantage of shopping for vegan clothing pieces is that they cause less or no skin rashes or irritation after wearing them for a long time. Most vegan pieces are made from natural and less synthetic materials. If you have severe skin allergies, then quit using synthetic material clothes and start wearing vegan apparel as they are much healthier for your beautiful skin.

Want to know the Best Site to Shop for Vegan Clothes?

VEGAN Happy Clothing is the most trusted online shop for high-quality, subtle and affordable vegan clothes, available for both men and women. They have a wide collection of ethically sourced vegan apparel and accessories such as legwear, jackets, beanies and many more. You can shop from their website and start your vegan fashion journey.

Cruelty-Free and Vegan Skin Care Products for Women

Cruelty-free and vegan skin care products are gaining popularity as more consumers become aware of the ethical and environmental implications of the beauty industry. Products that are labeled as cruelty-free have not been tested on animals, while vegan skin care products do not contain any animal-derived ingredients. It's possible for a product to be both cruelty-free and vegan or just one or the other.

By using these products, consumers can feel good knowing that no animals were harmed in the production process. Additionally, these products often contain natural and plant-based ingredients which can be more gentle on the skin and effective in addressing specific skin concerns.

However, it's important to note that not all products labeled as cruelty-free or vegan are truly so. To ensure that the products you purchase are truly cruelty-free and vegan, it's essential to check for certifications from reputable organizations such as "Certified Cruelty-Free" or "Certified Vegan" logo.

Understanding Vegan Skin Care

Vegan skin care products are those that do not contain any animal-derived ingredients, such as beeswax, honey, lanolin, and collagen. These products are also not tested on animals. To ensure that a product is vegan, consumers can look for a "vegan" label on the packaging or on the brand's website. Additionally, they can check the ingredient list for any animal-derived ingredients.

Common vegan ingredients used in skin care products include aloe vera, coconut oil, avocado oil, vitamin C, tea tree oil, jojoba oil, and peptides. These ingredients are known for their various benefits such as soothing, moisturizing, hydrating, anti-inflammatory, brightening, anti-aging, and anti-acne properties. It's also important to note that some ingredients can come from both plant and animal sources, such as glycerin or stearic acid, so it's important to check the source of the ingredient.

It's important to remember that just because a product is vegan, it doesn't automatically mean it's cruelty-free. Some products can be vegan but still tested on animals, so it's important to check for both certifications.

In Defense of Vegans

I can’t believe I have to make this but after seeing how posts like the above still get thousands of notes I’m going to. While there are critiques of militant veganism I agree with as a former vegan, some people need to chill out. What’s aggravating about most people here is how much they hate vegans but less in the alt right conservative fashion and more under a guise of faux progressivism. All nuance is thrown out and people treat the vegan debate as a false binary of either eat local, humane meat or child slave soy.

I’ll start by saying I was a lot more anti vegan when I first got on this hellsite. Reblogging anti-vegan posts and picking occasional fights with vegans. I was a lot angrier and was letting off steam as someone who was a former vegan who had a hard time with it. Same with religion, I was a lot more anti religion when starting my blog due to anger at evangelicals. Being able to recognize how it just wasn’t my cup of tea has caused me to let go of a lot of that anger. I wasn’t happy doing it but that’s not a damnation of veganism or vegans.

What irritates me about how most treat vegans is that it’s often reacting to a stereotype or strawman of vegans rather than actually engaging with them. All these posts about how vegans are destroying the environment with their child slave quinoa, cashews and plastic leather, when being a vegan doesn’t require using that stuff. A lot of them are smarter than given credit for and do research what they buy. Many do eat local produce and use hand me down wool or leather. They aren’t just buying every hipster product labeled vegan. Vegans are forced to be put on the defensive and what should be a conversation about how no food is really ethical in this capitalist society turns into a shouting match and “no you” regarding who’s more “cruelty free”.

I can understand having beef with militants if you have faced bigotry such as racism or ableism from animal rights activists. But some people really are quick to hate vegans and justify it as woke or leftist. Sometimes, people won’t even check the source before reblogging it, like the video of that problematic new age hippie, appropriating Pacific Islander culture, claiming veganism is colonialism.

I think a lot of vegans get hate for being the wrong kind of neurodivergent in some peoples eyes. Many, including myself, do have hyper empathy and are swayed by emotional arguments such as documentaries such as Earthlings. They make one small mistake and everyone treats them as if they’re the worst even if they do apologize for it like @sobadpink here in the replies. Many of them do have trauma from the cruelty towards animals they’ve seen which is treated with little sensitivity by people who claim to be allies to those who are neurodivergent and/or have faced abuse or PTSD. While white PETA types need to be called out, many famous civil rights leaders have been vegan/vegetarian like Cesar Chavez or Corretta Scott King and people do a disservice by treating it as solely a white man’s ideology.

Being a vegan isn’t easy and a lot of people’s anger here is fairly reasonable in my opinion. Many are ostracized by their families, can hardly find any food while on the go and struggle with people not understanding or refusing to understand them. Correcting misinformation from vegans is one thing and then there’s just being a jerk about it. A lot of anti vegan people here are the latter. You can say it’s self inflicted but many do think they’re doing a good thing, even if the meat industry is more complicated than just “vote with your dollar”. I would be a bit defensive myself if people treated me like a racist, ableist colonizer who hates migrant workers the moment I mentioned what I eat for lunch.

Call me a bleeding heart or ARA if you want but I think a lot of vegans here deserve more charity than they’ve been given. It’s like this site, when it comes to this issue, is stuck in 2015 as I’ve seen vegans try to explain their side, offer different perspectives and correct misconceptions but nope, another post about slave labor quinoa or plastic wool gets made every week and gets thousands of uncritical notes. People claim those posts aren’t about shaming vegans but that’s sure not how they come off as. Even a lot of the big “anti vegan” blogs here have admitted they went a bit too far and have mellowed out. I don’t agree with everything hardcore vegans have done or said and I can understand why some who’ve been hurt by them may dislike vegans but I think tumblr is way too harsh and intolerant of vegans despite claiming to be the leftist weirdo safe space.
