If you are a fan of vegan fashion I'm sure you have heard of Vaute Couture, the super inspiring, beautifully designed, cruelty-free, 100% vegan fashion line created by the talented, effervescent, lovely designer Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart. You can read more about Leanne in my Veggie Girl Power interview from last fall.
Fall Fashion. It is so easy to satisfy your craving for fall fashion (and stay cruelty-free) thanks to Vaute. Warm fall coats, adorable tees, tanks, hats and more are all available from the Vaute Couture online shop - and their flagship fashion boutique in Brooklyn. And this month, Leanne is doing a west coast tour! (details ahead)
GIVEAWAY. One WINGS coat is up for grabs guys! This is a quickie - giveaway entry period closes 11/9/12.
Tour dates/details and this amazing Vaute Couture WINGS Coat Giveaway ahead..
Coat Giveaway! One person will win a Vaute Couture WINGS coat (retail value: $398!) - enter below..
VEGAN COATS. Leanne's coats are simply stunning. I am the very proud owner of two of them. I won my very first VC coat (Alicia in emerald green velvet) in a silent auction at a Humane Society event last winter. And I was so IN LOVE with that coat that I knew I needed to save up and plan on buying another one in the future.
When I read about Leanne's new WINGS design in black waxed canvas, I knew I had to have it. It is kind of like a leather coat .. without the leather!
I pre-ordered my WINGS coat at a discount price because I know Leanne's designs always SELL OUT. It came in the mail and I SWOONED. I LOVE my WINGS coat. It has cozy soft lining and a heavy "waxed canvas" outer material that really does fit the body like leather would. The cute cropped style is perfect to wear with leggings, jeans or even a cute dress. Warm, yet still light and easy to wear. LOVE!

And Leanne was generous enough to offer Healthy. Happy. Life. readers a chance to win one WINGS coat. So enter the giveaway (PunchTab form above) for a chance to win. NOTE: since the Vaute Couture designs do sell out quickly, I am doing this giveaway as a QUICKIE. It ends in ONE WEEK!! This way the winner will have a better chance of getting their prize in their size - still in stock! Note, only in-stock sizes/styles can be obtained for the prize. So if you win and the sizes available do not fit you, you can either forfeit the prize or select a size that you will be able to give as a gift.. but hopefully the winner will be able to win their size/design choice. Like I said guys, these coats SELL OUT! Open to USA addresses only.
GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED - CONGRATS TO JESSICA FROM FLORIDA!
You can also attend a west coast Pop-Up Shop event OR buy online ASAP if you don't want to miss your chance to grab a fall 2012 design.

Mandy says
I've been eating vegan for 2 years and have been slowly donating my non-vegan clothes since that time. My fall coat (that I've had since high school... I'm now 24!) is made of wool and I'd love to donate it if I could afford a lovely Vaute Couture jacket like this!
Maddy says

I don't own any Vaute Couture yet but I'd love to, the designs are great and vegan, they prove you don't need to wear animals to look chic and turn heads
esk says
Last fall I purchased a Vaute Couture Alicia pea coat in black and it's since become one of my go-to winter coats. Super soft, warm, and versatile: nice enough for the opera; cute enough for jeans. I also have one of the white sheep "Friends not Fashion" racerback tank tops and I love it for summer! I'm always so glad to support an awesome vegan business.
Genevieve Gamlin says
I don't have any Vaute Couture fashion or accessories yet. I would love to win the Wings coat. Since I only wear a winter coat half of the year, I would love to get one of the necklaces so I could wear it year round.
miss_mermaid says
No, I don't own anything from Vaute Couture. What I would LOVE to own is a vegan winter coat that is truly WARM, yet chic and fashionable. Those qualities are frustratingly hard to find in a vegan coat, but I know Leanne @ V.C. has got it figured out : )
saniel says

I don't own a Vaute Couture item but I would love one of her coats... I love the Alicia, the Lori, even the Airs in Pink...

Believe it or not, this is the first time I have heard about this lovely clothing line. I am semi-new to veganism (about a year) and I am still learning about ethical clothing lines! Thank you Kathy for providing the opportunity for one of us lucky ladies to win one of these beautiful jackets. Since I don't own anything from Vaute Couture, I would LOVE to have one of everything, but I'm really loving the FW12 Vaute. Good luck everybody!

I own the emerald green Alicia and the black (midnight blue) Vaute. I get compliments every time I wear them, and they help start up a dialogue with omnis about veganism/compassion/ahimsa. These coats are ambassadors of veganism.

As pathetic as it sounds, I own nothing very fashionable, period. I'm a thrift store girl... BUT I would love to own a classy, elegant vaute couture coat. Something that commands respect and shows the world that I'm a girl who knows what she's doing!

I'd love to own any of their long coats... they're so elegant!
