Does Louis Vuitton have a vegan line? (2023)

Is Louis Vuitton vegan and Cruelty Free?

Louis Vuitton is rated “Very Poor” for the animals because of its use of fur, down, leather, wool, exotic animal skin, and exotic animal hair, though it has a basic formal policy to protect animal welfare.

Louis Vuitton canvas is not made from leather, but most bags that are made from a coated canvas feature leather trims and handles. There are some exceptions to this rule, however, with some bags being made completely from coated canvas and no leather, such as some versions of the new OnTheGo tote bag.

Gucci's vegan leather contains viscose and wood pulp compounds sourced from sustainable managed forests. It also contains biobased polyurethane sourced from wheat and corn.

Fashion Brands Utilizing Vegan Leather

The new vegan corn shoes from Louis Vuitton join a growing list of high-end footwear created from sustainable, animal-free materials.

French luxury brand Louis Vuitton's first sustainable and gender neutral shoe, the Charlie, is made with vegan corn leather.

Chanel does use collagen, lanolin, milk, keratin, honey, elastin, tallow, and other animal-derived ingredients when making many of its products which makes them non-vegan. Looking for vegan perfume? Check out this guide of our favourite vegan perfume brands.

The vegan leather, known as Sylvania, is an amber-hued material that Hermès developed in partnership with California-based start-up, MycoWorks.

Gucci was awarded for making strides in the use of cruelty-free leather alternatives, by creating its own in-house animal free material crafted from 77% raw plant-based materials. The new textile, called Demetra, is the result of years of dedicated research and will be used to create the brand's signature accessories.

Is Gucci (Coty) Vegan? Gucci does not claim or market itself to offer any vegan-friendly options. And since Gucci engages in animal testing, we wouldn't consider anything sold or produced by Gucci to be vegan anyways.

Does Louis Vuitton use animal testing?

Although Louis Vuitton itself doesn't participate in animal cruelty, they conduct business with sources that do engage in the mistreatment of animals.

Gucci is owned by Coty, a company that tests on animals. Not only is Gucci not cruelty-free but neither is their parent company.
