Multi-way Clothing by Diane Kroe: Travel Refined Style
If we must buy clothing, a good tip is to go for purchases that will get many uses. Some designers have clothing items that can be worn in multiple ways. Here we have a multi-way swimsuit by Diane Kroe, an award-winning Canadian designer specializing in travel clothing. This suit first debuted at The Vegan Fashion Show, a charity fashion event in Canada infused with activism for people, animals, and the planet. The Leopard Print Flip Suit by Diane Kroe can impressively be worn 4 different ways. Choose to wear it as a one-piece or a two-piece! In this image, it’s shown with a multiway cover-up and skort.
Luxurious, Animal-Free, and Plastic-Free Handbags by Lost Woods
Did we say both animal-free and plastic-free? We sure did! Consumers are increasingly conscious of the impacts of leather. In fact, 55% of consumers want to purchase leather alternatives because of leather’s impact on animals and the environment, according to a study by North Mountain Consulting Group for Material Innovation Initiative. Luckily, in modern times we now have plastic-free and stylish alternatives. That’s thanks to sustainable brands adopting innovative materials such as MIRUM®. The material is all-natural and circular. The luxury, Australian brand Lost Woods is one of the first to make use of this particular material. Lost Woods handbags display exceptional sophisticated style. The Lost Woods collection of luxury, vegan handbags offers a wide range of options, including edgy, sleek looks with your choice of silver or gold chain accents.

Plant-Powered Chelsea Boots by Voes & Co
Chelsea boots are already a great option when it comes to functional style. Now, there is a plant-based option thanks to vegan fashion brands like Voes & Co. Gone are the days when you must choose from either traditional leather or pure polyurethane. Voes & Co uses a material called Desserto a cactus leather. Cacti require no herbicides or pesticides and are a carbon sink! Cacti are famously known for surviving without much water. In the past, that’s been helpful for those of us lacking a green thumb and still want to pretty up our homes with plants. Nowadays, these plants are seriously reducing the amount of water needed in the fashion industry too. Cactus leather has increasingly been used to make handbags, but Voes & Co is one of the first in the world to use it in footwear. The blue-coloured outsole adds a posh touch.
