Vegan Dolls???

“How can a doll be vegan, isn’t that to do with food?”

This is a question I was asked recently, so in case anybody else is wondering the same thing, I’ll try to explain. At this point, I should point out that I am vegan, which means I believe that animals shouldn’t be harmed for enjoyment, fashion, or convenience. Part of veganism is to do with food. I don’t consume any animal products. This includes meat, fish, dairy, eggs, by-products like gelatin, whey, etc, or honey. I get everything my body needs from a healthy, balanced, plant based diet.

However, veganism doesn’t stop at food. I don’t use cosmetics, toiletries, or cleaning products that contain animal derived ingredients. I don’t buy clothes or materials made from leather, wool, or silk, and I don’t use animal derived materials in any Strange Little Girls product. There are so many great quality alternatives these days, I don’t need to! I also avoid products which have been tested on animals.

So, if you are vegetarian, or vegan, you can be sure that no animals were harmed in the making of my dolls, or anything I sell on my website. If you would like to know more about any of the points raised here. Plenty of reliable information can be found on the Vegan Society website.
