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.
