Cult of Coquette is likely a fully vegan brand. In 2022 they had “PETA-approved” status, which means their suppliers and manufacturers had to sign a legal statement of assurance form, stating that no animal by-products (including glues, dyes and solvents) are used in the production of any of their shoes, clothing and accessories. As of April, 2023, their certification has lapsed, but avoiding animal-derived materials is very much built into the ethos of the brand.
