The Hidden Cost of “Vegan.”

Uncovering the truth behind plastic-based ‘vegan leathers’ and the rise of plant-based innovation.

“Vegan” has become a fashionable word — but not always an honest one. 

Many vegan leathers are made with PU or PVC, derived from petroleum. 

They spare animals but not the planet. 

What we call “cruelty-free” often hides quiet harm — to oceans, to soil, to those who make it. 

At Shaurè, we’ve learned that kindness must be complete. 

That’s why our MIRUM® is 100% plant-based and plastic free, made from rice hulls, coconut charcoal, and natural resins. 

Our HYPHALITE™ is grown, not manufactured — living proof that science and soil can coexist. 

Our ECONYL® yarn gives new life to industrial plastic and fishing nets, transforming what once polluted into purpose — and can itself be infinitely regenerated, closing the loop without loss of quality. 

Our CYCLEPET® linings turn discarded bottles into enduring beauty — proof that waste can be reborn without harm. 

We call this “vegan without compromise.”

Because a cleaner conscience shouldn’t come wrapped in plastic.
