It has long been a problem for environment-conscious fashionistas to shop for trendy pieces especially since a lot of them come in leather. But all that ends here because Topshop is finally launching a vegan shoe collection approved by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). They are releasing a six-design collection, each available in two variants, made from totally animal-free materials. This shoe collection is their first attempt at creating sustainable, cruelty-free products and there might just be more of these accessories to come in the future. Curious about how they look? Scroll down to see our favourites from the 12-piece collection.
