Animal Materials vs Vegan Synthetics | Fibres & Fabrics Part 2

Discussing animal and synthetic materials from an ethical and environmental perspective. It can be a dilemma and I hope this video helps you weigh some of the different options available. As with everything when it comes to eco/ethical fashion, there is no perfect solution and it's important to just try your best and find what works for you. I recommend doing more research into the issues and options you're interested in because I could only cover a small amount of information in this short video.
