Intersection of environmentalism and veganism incoming
Someone asked about this in a chat I'm in and it led to a lot of digging with almost no success beyond spending 300 dollars to buy custom clothes all the time. We're looking for stuff that is a) vegan and b) has no plastic byproducts that we can recommend to people of many sizes and c) will not bankrupt you. Like 6ft tall+ women with gigantic feet 12+ womens sized shoes.
Shoes, hats, et al. of feminine styling. Basic shit. Flats. Heels. Thrifting isn't usually an option for people of certain sizing, too.
edit:
Things I've found, again, the point of this is basic essentials shit that is vegan, no plastic, and will fit tall women. Gimmicky things that aren't basic aren't included.
Custom Clothes (expensive):
https://loyalfootwear.com/ - 350 USD for a flat. Ridiculous price, but it is fully custom and has non plastic options. There seems to be no way to ask her simple questions about the products she sells to verify their contents.
https://heartsandfound.com/ - Custom dresses and skirts. Uses various fabrics like linen or cotton of your choosing, unclear if shipping doesn't use plastic. Seems most dresses are in the 120-140 dollar range, which is reasonable. Has a lot of older 50s styles for dresses. Storefront sells from Vietnam, fabric quality seems very very good, seems to source materials from a cooperative and shuts down during Vietnamese holidays? Nice.
https://www.eshakti.com/ - Lots of options for clothes, uses various fabrics, can shop by fabric type, has custom sizing and is not much more expensive than a normal shop. Some of the clothing does look cheap and may use low quality plastic fibers in conjunction with the cotton. Ships from India.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/LeoLines - Transgender gaffs, can be made fully cotton.
Not custom clothes:
americantall.com - Cheap, but many of the materials contain plastics, look shit, and aren't vegan. Some options are low in plastics or are fully cotton, but there aren't many. Has male options too.
longtallsally.com - Lots of cheap garbage but there are some things that aren't plastic.
