Topshop launched vegan shoes


Topshop, which has around 500 stores worldwide, has launched its first 100% vegan shoe collection in stores and online as consumers increasingly seek out ways in which to remove animal products from their wardrobes..

To ensure the shoes are completely vegan, Topshop has created the shoes using non-animal and non-fish glue and they will also be packaged in boxes made using all-vegan materials.


The company has hinted that this range it just the first foray into the world of vegan fashion, with Topshop’s fashion director, Maddy Evans commenting: “We are really excited to be launching our first vegan collection this April. Initially, we’re focusing on footwear and introducing six new styles that are produced alongside our premium shoe lines in Spain.

“We can’t wait to see how shoppers respond to the design-led collection and how far we can push vegan products across our accessories offering.”

Topshop joins other high-street retailers such as Marks & Spencer in launching affordable vegan shoe collections. Earlier this year, Marks & Spencer launched its first ever vegan shoe range featuring over 350 affordable designs after the recent success of the launch of its new dedicated vegan food range.

European Union bid to ban names like ‘burger’ and ‘sausage’ for vegan and vegetarian food products is being challenged


This is ‘unreasonable and costly’ proposal threatened to cause ‘widespread administrative chaos, confusion and time wasting’. If the bid is voted into effect next month, vegan and veggie burgers could be named ‘discs’ and sausages ‘tubes’. 

The Vegan Society said the measures would not only affect vegans but also prove costly for public authorities that currently serve vegan food, such as government departments, health providers, education establishments, police forces and prisons. 


The proposed amendment banning the use of the words burger, sausage or steak for products that do not contain meat was passed by the European Parliament’s agricultural committee earlier this month as part of a revision of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy. 

But the Vegan Society says it contravenes EU consumers’ rights to be informed adequately as to how goods can be used and denies the vegan community the benefits offered by EU law on clear labelling. It claims that alternative vocabulary put forward such as ‘vegetable disc’ does not constitute clear food labelling under EU consumer law because such terms are not easily interpreted. It has legally challenged the plans in a formal letter to EU officials, signed by its chief executive George Gill, on the grounds of breaching fundamental human rights of vegans. Mr Gill said: ‘As consumers are increasingly moving away from eating animals, the demand for vegan products is growing. There’s no denying that meat, dairy and egg industries are feeling threatened by this and desperately trying to restrict the marketing of vegan products.

‘These proposals have little to do with consumer protection and instead are motivated by economic concerns of the meat industry. We are calling on EU officials to reject these irrational measures for vegan meat alternatives to be banned from using the qualified conventional terms everyone has been using for decades.’ Dr Jeanette Rowley, from The Vegan Society, said: ‘This proposed measure is not aligned with EU policy on respect for diversity. It is not in the public interest and, if implemented, would have a disproportional impact across society by affecting the normal daily functioning of all public and private entities that provide food.

Vegan fashion is about being compassionate, and being mindful of the impacts our choices have on the world around us. This extends to the way that people (i.e. those involved in creating fashion pieces & their materials) and the environment are affected too, as well as animals.
