I can’t get enough of Vaute Couture, (if you haven’t read my recent post about Vaute Couture’s Bomono vegan winter coat you must read it!) so I thought I would share another goodie from the mind of Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart.
“For the Love of Dog, Adopt!” tee is clever yet blunt. Vaute Couture has once again enlightened me. I was unaware of how many animals are being put to sleep each year- a staggering amount- three to four million healthy cats and dogs.

Be lovely inside then out is Vaute Couture’s motto. With a coat as lovely as the Bomono Coat (doesn’t it make your mouth water?) it makes you wonder just how lovely Vaute Couture’s designer and founder, Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart’s, innards are. I’ll tell you, they are drop dead gorgeous…

When former model, Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart, couldn’t find a warm winter coat to match her vegan lifestyle, she launched Vaute Couture. She started with a design challenge and an offer to produce the contest winning garments with portion of proceeds going to Farm Sanctuary. 108 entries, 20 finalists, and over 8,000 votes later, one of the three winning designs is now available for purchase.
