For centuries, fashion has demanded great sacrifices on the part of the animal kingdom. Mink fur, cowhide, snakeskin, alligator skin, the list goes on and on. Now, it’s time to step into a new era of fashion: cruelty-free fashion. There are many ways to shop that is both sustainable and stylish at the same time, and Mio Borsa is here to prove it.
“While leather requires animal skin, faux leather and vegan leather offer alternatives that allow us to look and perform well,” the company said. “And not only is it better for the world, but it’s also better for our closets and wallets: vegan leather is almost always cheaper than real, and can be versatile and suited to all our needs. “
