It’s no secret that fast fashion is having a devastating effect on the environment. While some major brands seem to be shifting toward more sustainable fashion, we’re keen to highlight the brands closer to home making an impact. These three Canadian brands are doing their part to combat climate change, while keeping you looking your best.

Vessi

As the rainy weather sets in, we’re often left deciding between staying dry vs looking good. Vancouver-based Vessi doesn’t believe it needs to be a choice; you can have both. They’ve created footwear that truly is 100% waterproof, lightweight and stylish. As a nod to the environment, their shoes are entirely vegan. How can a shoe be vegan, you ask? Vessi’s are 100% animal-free. Any leathers, wools, suedes and silks used are man-made and synthetic. Vessi offers a collection of footwear and accessories for men, women and kids that are not only Canadian-made, stylish and affordable but are also helping to save the planet, one step at a time.
