Veggie Shoes

One of the more difficult things about being vegetarian (and I don't know if most veggie people do this) is to find shoes and handbags that are cruelty free. That means no leather. Go to a purse department or a shoe department and try to find something that is not leather. If you do find it, 9 times out of 10, it is ugly. It's either some hippy looking hemp bag or some straw grandma bag or sandal.

I recently found out that www.zappos.com has a vegetarian listing! Try it out here: http://www.zappos.com/vegetarian.htm. The NY Times ran an article not too long ago as well about shopping within these guidelines. In that article, I found a blog/shop that is also quite helpful. Here's the info:

Alternative Outfitters - a shop that stocks only veggie friendly products:

Just something to think about :-)
