Choosing vegan fashion & apparel
Check the issuing body's current registry for the exact product, company or material scope. A listed certification is not proof of every safety, environmental or performance claim, and vegan and cruelty-free describe different things.

What to check in fashion & apparel
| Factor | Check before buying | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Fit and construction | Compare garment measurements, seams, fastening quality and return terms. | Size labels vary between brands; a good material cannot compensate for an unsuitable fit. |
| Composition and care | Read fibre percentages, coating details and washing instructions. | Blends and finishes affect breathability, care effort and repairability more than a vague material label. |
| Long-term wear | Consider repair options and the number of wears you realistically expect. | Cost per wear is more useful than a discount if the item will rarely leave the wardrobe. |
Read the evidence, not just the score
Quality, Value, User Experience and Brand & Trust measure different trade-offs. The default weights are 30%, 25%, 25% and 20%; category overrides can differ. A close score gap is less useful than a clear advantage on the factor you care about. Look at the product's recorded specifications, drawbacks and source links, and distinguish a manufacturer's claim from independent testing.
Build a realistic shortlist
- Remove options that miss an essential size, compatibility or safety requirement.
- Compare two or three remaining options on total cost and the drawbacks you can accept.
- Confirm the exact variant, warranty and return terms with the seller.
