Etsy prides itself on selling an array of fashionable and artistic items, but there’s nothing becoming about selling—or wearing—dead animal parts.
Most animals in the fur industry spend their entire lives confined to filthy cages before finally being beaten, electrocuted, gassed, or even skinned alive. Until Etsy bans fur sales, try these vegan boutiques and stores to fill your online shopping void:
Herbivore
This Portland, Oregon, legend is known for its on-trend, edgy fashion. But did you know that Herbivore also sells vegan products like art and scents for your home? Well, now you do. In addition to creative cards, magazines, and stickers telling meat-eaters to shove it, the shop carries dozens of vegan cookbook favorites, like Sweet Potato Soul and The Seitanic Spellbook. (Hail seitan.)
PETA Shopping Guide
Our PETA Shopping Guide gathers up dozens of companies and presents them all in one easy-to-browse space. You’ll find everything from stylish sunglasses and handbags to faux-fur coats and the best vegan cheese you’ll ever have. All PETA Shopping Guide companies are PETA Business Friends.
The PETA Shop
There’s also the official PETA Shop for more animal liberation threads, accessories, and other goodies. Check back often, as we’re always adding new, creative ways to advocate for the vegan revolution. Best of all, every purchase from a PETA Business Friend or from the PETA Shop helps fund our groundbreaking work to stop animal abuse and suffering.

This PETA Business Friend offers a diverse variety of products, including sandals and hammocks made of rope. Its items are crafted using fair labor and repurposed materials, making the brand as human-friendly and eco-conscious as it is animal-friendly.
Vegan Chic
Vegan Chic specializes in the hottest footwear for everyone in the family, but don’t leave before checking out its stylish handbags and other accessories for living vegan.
TheVeganKind Supermarket
Ever dream about walking into an all-vegan big-box store? TheVeganKind Supermarket is an online store stocked with animal-free clothing, food, household items, gifts, and pretty much everything else you could ever need. It might well be digital heaven.
Billion Vegans
Billon Vegans wants to make new vegans’ journeys a whole lot easier. Sure, food is a huge part of it, but this shop goes beyond what we eat by selling vegan home decor and other great household items. It even offers vegan gardening supplies. How cool is that?!

Give Etsy a Piece of Your Mind—Urge It to Drop Fur
Whether it came from a caged animal on a farm or one who was trapped in their natural habitat, every piece of fur is the result of tremendous suffering. In the 21st century, there’s absolutely no reason to wear animal-derived materials—fashionable, eco-friendly, and better-performing vegan materials are readily available. Urge Etsy to prohibit the sale of fur.
