Get ready to ride the sustainable wave with Lost Woods, Voes & Co, and Diane Kroe! These brands are making a splash with their eco-conscious creations and making a tide-turning statement in the world of ethical style. From Lost Woods' vegan handbags made from 100% plastic-free material to Voes & Co's cactus leather footwear that puts the 'sole' back into sustainability, and Diane Kroe's versatile Flip Suit that has us 'flipping' for joy, these brands prove that fashion can be both chic and kinder to our oceans. So, let's set sail on a journey towards a brighter, cleaner fashion future, where style meets sustainability with a wave of enthusiasm.

In the past, vegan leather faced a challenging reputation, often being dismissed as "plastic" and deemed inferior to traditional animal-derived leather. However, the tides have turned, and Lost Woods is here to make a change using an innovative material to shatter this misconception, proving that cruelty-free fashion can be both environmentally responsible and luxurious, without compromising on style or quality. Unlike older animal-free leather alternatives that used PVC and polyurethane, Lost Woods uses MIRUM®, a plant-based wonder that's 100% plastic-free. Its eco-friendly properties extend far beyond that, boasting non-toxic, low-carbon, and endlessly recyclable attributes. Plus, it's bio-neutral and circular, leaving no harmful footprint. Lost Woods' commitment to environmentally responsible fashion shines through in their MIRUM® creations, offering an elegant and durable alternative to traditional leather.

But that's not all! Voes & Co, another ethical brand, has also been making waves in sustainable fashion with their use of cactus leather. This innovative material requires only a fraction of the water needed for traditional leather production, with a staggering 164,650% less water usage estimated by Collective Fashion Justice. Cactus leather is made without pesticides, herbicides, or any toxic chemicals. The cacti are also a carbon sink. Voes & Co is one of the first brands to use cactus leather for footwear, and it's a game-changer. Not only is it more sustainable than traditional leather, but it's also one of the most similar to animal-derived leather in texture and feel. Voes & Co’s Harlow Chelsea boots look good and are comfortable and easy to slip on. These boots are perfect for anyone looking to make conscious purchasing decisions without sacrificing style. We especially love the intriguing blue colored outer sole. Be on the lookout for new colors and other plant-based products in the future – you heard it here first! With sustainability and style colliding, it’s no wonder this brand and its founder recently received a full feature in Forbes magazine.
