Wearing nature^®, the Vegan Style

This is the challenge that gave himself François Simard, founder of Vegetal Alternatives. Although a chemical engineer by training, it is through natural fibers that he forged his expertise in technical textiles. In 2016, he introduced an insulation made from milkweed fiber as an alternative to goose down. It took 5 years of a winding journey for the insulation known under the VEGETO^® brand to finally be available to everyone.

With the creation of a one step plant-based substitute for animal leather, under the VEGETECH^® brand, the Vegetal Alternatives clothing collection reflects all of the company's values.
