GOOD-BYE

Sadly, we bid farewell to the following brands, which have either shut their doors or haven’t been heard from in a while.: Brave GentleMan, Camille, Cotton Mellon, Supergreen Shoes, Vuxari, DLS Montreal, Good Guys Don’t Wear Leather, Delicious California, Alixane.

We are also bidding a temporary farewell to Wijld, as the brand has decided to incorporate recycled wool into its products. While recycled, it is technically not a vegan material.
