Avoiding silk and leather is a compassionate and eco-friendly choice due to many factors. Silk production involves boiling silkworms alive to extract silk from their cocoons making it incompatible with cruelty free values. Even a silk scarf can be the result of hundreds of sikworms killed and a silk saree? Almost thousands. Leather derived from animal skin, supports factory farming and contributes to toxic tanning processes. Animals are killed in inhumane conditions for their leather and exotic ones even brutally.

By rejecting these materials, we reduce harm to animals and minimize pollution. Ethical alternatives like plant-based fabrics and synthetic leathers offer style over sacrifice.

In the end, it's not just about what we wear - it's also about the impact we leave behind.
