A New Girl on the Block in the World of Vegan Online Stores: VSHOEN

I wanted to tell you about a new vegan boutique on the interwebs that I will be adding to my Oft-mentioned article “Where to Find Cool Vegan Shoes Online”–recently updated!

It is a Canadian company called Vshoen.

Regan, the founder, commented on my blog and alerted me to her new venture.

It is excellent!

One thing I appreciate about their online store is it has very large images of the shoes for sale. I love a nice large image.

I want this Olsen Haus Galaxy shoe which is on sale at their store. Dang! unfortunately they are out of my size.

I also love their swiss alpine hiking boot inspired shoes from Cri de Coeur. Dang! Again not available in my size. I think I’m a 10 1/2??

Does your mind go there?

Anyway!!

I find it inspiring when someone starts a vegan store. Making a difference!!

Check out their blog for a very informative post about “why leather is not a fabric“–containing a shocking photo of a cow being stripped of its hide next to a luxury car. Wow. A shocking image that you might want to check out.

Here’s a crazy fact I learned from this post. “Did you know the transportation sector comes second to the leather industry with respect to the environmental damage caused?”

That’s crazy! Get rid of it.

Are you on twitter? I’m not really. I have an account but I’ve tweeted once. Though I’ve been thinking maybe I should start using it more recently. Anyway, Vshoen looks like they have a great twitter account.

They alerted me to some NYC animals that need to be adopted.

Brava VSHOEN, and check out their store if you want to buy some designer vegan shoes.
