First London vegan shoe and accessory store opens

17/04/2008

UK-based animal-friendly fashion company Bourgeois Boheme is opening what it claims to be London's first vegan footwear and accessories retail location.

Based at their offices in Richmond, London, the shop doors officially open on the May 17, just ahead of UK National Vegetarian Week.

Bourgeois Boheme founder and Director, Alicia Lai, says: “Unless you shop online, vegetarian footwear is difficult to find: it's a dismal choice of either low-quality, cheap and environmentally-challenging shoes or Stella McCartney - gorgeous fashion no doubt, but very much beyond the pocket of many a style-conscious vegetarian/vegan.”

Visitors will be able to buy the company’s labelled styles as well as ethically sourced products from other companies including footwear, bags, wallets and belts.
