Vegan-friendly fashion brand FOReT recently won the best Vegan Wallet at the 2022 Vegan Fashion Award by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India. The awards aim to honour and celebrate cruelty-free fashion including clothing, accessories, jewellery and more. FOReT received the award for its attention to cutting-edge innovation and sustainability in fashion. The brand’s line of wallets is made from genuine Cork Fabric sourced from Portugal, giving customers an eco-friendly vegan alternative.
The brand’s founder Supriya Shirsat Satam said, “As India’s first brand to launch jewellery and handbags from a resourceful plant-based material, Cork, we are thrilled to accept the Vegan Fashion Award from PETA. The award brings us closer to achieving our mission of creating a new narrative where vegan fashion is not chosen as an alternative, but as a primary fashion choice.”
Much like FOReT’s line of wallets, the brand’s other product offerings like jewellery, bags and laptop bags are also eco-conscious and made from mindful materials that are earth-friendly and cruelty-free. Cork is the brand’s primary material as it’s not only sustainable, cruelty-free and vegan but also has great longevity and is light-weight. FOReT also uses other materials like handmade porcelain ceramic beads, stainless steel and gold plated on brass. The brand also supports as many as more than 250 artisans, including rural women and artisans globally.
