Cappotti in Lana Vegana

Wool is often sold to us as natural and humane, but large-scale industrial wool production — and even small-holding or so-called “ethical” systems — can’t avoid many of the same horrors and realities of wool. Not only are sheep subjected to painful procedures like mulesing (cutting skin without pain relief) to try to prevent flystrike, but the whole lifecycle of these animals is shaped by profit, not compassion.

You’ve got selective breeding that creates unnatural skin folds which trap moisture and attract flies, causing infection and disease. Lambs frequently undergo harsh mutilations — tails docked, ears hole-punched, male lambs castrated in ways that cause immense pain, often without anaesthetics. (peta.org)

Then there’s separation: baby lambs are taken from their mothers early, sometimes within a few hours, disrupting mother-young bonds which cause distress and long-term welfare issues. (four-paws.org)

Lamb mortality is high: many die from exposure, starvation, disease, cold, lack of shelter, or neglect—especially in harsh climates or when born outside optimal seasons. (beljacobs.com)

There’s also the end-game: sheep bred for wool are still destined to be killed once their wool yield drops (quality declines with age), and many lambs are slaughtered young (sometimes just for meat, sometimes dual-purpose). By wearing wool, consumers are, often unknowingly, funding the same systems as the meat industry. (collectivefashionjustice.org)

Animals are kept in overcrowded sheds or pens, transported long distances under brutal conditions, and sometimes slaughtered in facilities with weak welfare enforcement. Issues include dehydration, injury during transport, stress, and slaughter while still conscious. (four-paws.org)

We have no right to treat animals like this. They are not ours to exploit. Choosing a vegan wool coat is one way to opt out of this cruelty completely—no animal fibres, no participation in the suffering, no role in that industrial farming system.

Yes – our vegan wool is designed to be as sustainable as it is cruelty-free. The outer fabric is woven from Greenpeace DETOX & OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified cotton, giving the same look and feel as traditional wool with a plant-based fibre. For warmth, we use a 100 % recycled polyester thermal lining, certified to ISO 14021:2016 and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, turning waste materials into high-performance insulation.

Every detail is considered: recycled shoulder pads, buttons made from compressed recycled paper and resin, and a smooth REACH-certified Italian viscose lining for easy layering. Your coat is shipped plastic-free, wrapped in untreated paper and packed in a reusable, biodegradable protective bag.

This is sustainable fashion in action — ethical outerwear made with natural and recycled materials, combining timeless style with a lighter footprint. If you’re looking for an eco-friendly coat that respects animals, people, and the planet, our vegan wool collection delivers.

Our vegan wool coats are crafted with purpose. All of our coats are tailored in the same small factory in Tuscany, Italy, where a skilled team produces them in small batches with care and precision. We visit regularly, have built a close relationship with the makers, and ensure fair working conditions. This commitment to slow fashion, worker rights, and ethical production naturally costs more than mass-produced alternatives.

We use only high-quality, low-impact materials: Greenpeace DETOX & OEKO-TEX® certified cotton, 100 % recycled thermal polyester linings, REACH-certified Italian viscose, recycled shoulder pads, and buttons made from compressed recycled paper and resin. Every element is chosen to last season after season, not just a single winter.

We have added a Netherlands warehouse for EU deliveries alongside our UK one, helping to reduce transport distances and lower the carbon footprint of every order.

All this costs money — we could cut corners, use cheaper factories with lower standards, make lower quality coats, or produce in countries with less regulation — but we don’t. We choose to do it the right way.

And if you ever have a problem, we stand by every purchase you make with us. If you are not happy, we will refund, replace, or even try to repair your coat — at any time. Just let us know and we will make it right.

When you invest in one of our vegan wool coats, you’re supporting sustainable fashion, fair pay for skilled makers, lower-impact logistics, and timeless, cruelty-free style that respects animals, people, and the planet.

Absolutely – our vegan wool coats are built for real cold-weather wear. Inside, they’re finished with a 100 % recycled polyester thermal lining that traps heat and helps regulate your body temperature. This means you can comfortably wear them right through autumn and into freezing winter temperatures and stay warm.

Each coat is cut with enough room to layer over knits or hoodies, so you can adapt easily as the seasons change. It’s the perfect season-spanning coat — light enough for autumn, insulated enough for the depths of winter.

To make your coat last and save resources like heat, electricity, and water, we recommend spot cleaning first whenever possible. A quick wipe with a damp cloth will often freshen it up between washes.

When a full wash is needed, you can machine wash your coat on a cool 30 °C cycle using a gentle detergent. Avoid tumble drying – instead, line dry your coat or place it near a gentle heat source like a heated drying rail.

The materials are designed to hold their shape and structure wash after wash, so your coat stays looking sharp for many seasons. If needed, you can steam or lightly press the coat to remove creases — always following the care label inside.

This approach not only keeps your coat looking its best, it also reduces energy and water use — making it an even more sustainable fashion choice.

Most people find our vegan wool coats run just a little larger than standard sizing, giving you a comfortable fit with room to layer.

Our coats are designed with a clean, tailored cut and space to wear over a jumper or hoodie. We recommend starting with your usual size for a classic silhouette. If you prefer an oversized look or plan to wear heavy knits underneath, you can size up for extra room.

You can view the full measurements by clicking the Size Chart link above the add-to-cart button — we hand measure every item so you can compare it to a similar coat you already own.

Still unsure? Just reach out — we’re always happy to help you find the right size, and if it’s not quite right when it arrives, our free returns and exchanges have you covered.
