Smells a lot like fraud
This smells a lot like fraud! Leafy Souls is selling winter vegan womens waterproof snow boots for 63.70€ which they present as a reduction from 277.34€. The exact same boots are on sale on a different site for 9€!! – There is a blatant absence of important information on their site on how products are produced. Their customer service could not provide me with this information either. As a vegan caring about the ecological impact of an item, I cannot purchase from a site that is unable to specify production methods. Vegan companies usually also care about an ecological production chain but here they offer products without mentioning that they are made out of organic/recycled materials or that they are colored using eco-friendly dyes. There are no eco certificates. Therefore, products may be vegan, but they are produced under cheap and environmentally disruptive conditions and then sold (at a higher price) to people who care about being vegan - which is hardly cruelty free or ethical. It is sad when ‘vegan’ is being used for this type of advertisement. Under ‘A Great Cause’ they claim that they ‘donate a percentage of’ their profits, however, fail to precise the percentage.
