We just started summer and, already, fall and winter clothing will be showing up in stores very soon. If you’re an early shopper and you love to get a jump on the coming season’s new styles, you probably get excited when magazines and catalogues start arriving with boots, sweaters and coats on every page, even before we’ve hit the 4th of July. I know that Nordstrom customers eagerly await their famous Anniversary Sale, when many of the fall’s hottest items are discounted for a short time and then shoot back up to their regularly scheduled prime-time prices.
Well, this week the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Fall Catalogue arrived at our door and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the buyers at Nordstrom! Why, you may ask? No, not because the prices have been slashed until August 4th, even though that IS a beautiful thing. I’d like to thank them for showing many vegan items in this highly anticipated book! I’m talking about beautiful, trendy, hot clothes at discounted prices, which also happen to be non-animal derived!
It’s fabulous to see mainstream clothing designers offering some faux leather and vegan options and I’m sure you’ll notice that these terrific vegan items are not only animal-free but clearly less expensive and just as stylish than their non-vegan counterparts.
Here are the highlights from the catalogue….
