Vegan options

QVC needs to up their game on vegan shoe and purse options. There are entire lines of non-leather shoes on the market besides Skechers. Not that there's anything wrong with Skechers, but..more choices please!

Would love to see a vegan bag/shoe offer,....we are becoming more mainstream and there is a huge opportunity to take advantage of the nonleather market.

Probably not enough profit in it for QVC to offer Vegan shoes.

I think the profits would be rather good. More and more people are going vegan and becoming more conscious of the products they buy. Yes, bring on the vegan options!

Wearing manmade plastic shoes are really bad for your feet.

All of this plastic vegan garbage is killing our planet. It is made from petrochemicals. It pollutes the environment when these products are being made and also when it sits in our landfills and is not broken down.

if you must go vegan, please be kind to our planet and wear cotton, canvas or some other planet friendly fabric, not polyester.

i understand the need of not wanting to hurt animals, but what good is it if you destroy the earth? Soon no one will be able to live here. Humans are so irresponsible on so many levels.

What, for example, are vegan shoes made of? If a form of plastic, they aren't much of an improvement.

I don't want cheap plastic handbags and I surely don't want hot, non-porous plastic shoes. There are plenty of sources for them virtually everywhere so lover of these items don't have to go without.

Fake leather shoes are awful to wear, don’t keep ur feet warm and when it’s it hot yr feet sweat because the shoes trap the sweat

And yes they are all made from petrochemicals

@Carmie Important point being kind to the planet as well as practicing nonviolence.

I am sympathetic to those who want nothing to do with animal products, whether food, clothing, or accessories. But choosing products made of plastic instead of leather is harmful to the environment and, in my opinion, selfish. Surely there are plant products that can substitute for leather.

There are tons of chemicals used in the leather making process, and animal agriculture is a top polluter. I hope more non petrochemical vegan options will become available. Our Earth is important as well as compassion to the creatures who share it with us.

I totally agree with you! As an animal lover, I'm tired of seeing lots of leather, suede & down products. QVC should create a totally new channel dedicated exclusively to vegan and cruelty free products. This is what people now want and I'm sure it would be a huge commercial success! CFTV!!!
