Doshi
Doshi was founded in order to offer smart, fashionable, and high-quality vegan products to people who have ethical, religious, or environmental beliefs that lead them to seek cruelty-free items. The company does its best to find factories that purchase recycled base material and minimize the use of chemicals and solvents in the manufacturing of its materials.

The company constantly strives to make its production, products, and packaging as green as they can be.

Olsenhaus
This clever company uses upcycled Ultrasuede made from recycled industrial waste from a television factory in Japan.
