Unfortunately, lots winters of winter coats are filled with down or made of wool, neither of which is vegan; so where’s a vegan to find vegan coats?
Well, fortunately there are many great synthetic materials to keep you warm – and they will work even when you get wet – so don’t worry. Having been vegan for 15 years and vegetarian my whole life and growing up with cold Midwestern winters, I know it can be tricky to find vegan alternatives.

Unreal Fur Seashell vegan coat
This jacket is perfectly suited for autumn and spring, or winter if you live somewhere with milder winters like I do!
Unreal Fur very kindly offered to send me a coat for review, and the Seashell jacket was the one I chose; it’s perfect as I was looking for a lighter weight jacket (very heavy coats can get too hot here in Barcelona).
The Seashell jacket is unbelievably soft – as in, I can’t stop touching it! I offer you photographic proof.
My friend who helped me take the pictures of this stylish vegan jacket also remarked on how soft it was.
The best thing about the jacket is both the fleecy exterior and the vegan suede lining are incredibly soft. I can’t wait to bundle up with it when the temperatures drop here!

More vegan coat brands:
Wuxly (Canadian coat brand with coats suitable for very low temperatures)
Vegan coat options:
Stella McCartney: if you’re looking for vegan designer jackets, luxury brand Stella McCartney has vegan options.
You’ll need to read the label, because while Stella is a vegetarian and doesn’t use leather or fur in her designs, she sometimes uses wool or silk so be sure to double check composition!
Wondering how to choose a coat that’s suitable for winter weather? Check out this handy Wikihow guide (not vegan, so ignore tips based on leather/wool). Some things you might want to consider:
- Waterproof, especially if you live in an area that gets a lot of snow or rain in winter
- Insulated
- Length, depending how cold it gets
- Zippers and cuffs to protect you from cold, again depending on how cold your winter is
- Style
- Removable hood
- Storm flaps to cover zippers – in very windy and cold areas, the wind can cut through the zipper, making you cold
Equally, if you live in an area that doesn’t get very cold winters, consider that you don’t need a very heavy or insulated coat.
Vegan down coats or other heavy coats will likely just make you hot and sweaty in this type of climate! When I moved to Barcelona, I had to get a new winter coat because my old one made me TOO hot here.
