The Alternate

The Alternate is a lifestyle brand, that aims at offering animal-friendly fashion accessories like shoes and bags for the quintessential modern man.

With the mission of making an impact in men's style and fashion, and an equal commitment to reduce animal suffering, The Alternate came into existence in 2016. Our philosophy of providing a wide array of products, be it dress shoes, loafers, formal shoes, bags, or other fashion accessories, remains unaffected by our decision to not harm any living being in the process. These vegan shoes are crafte

d as per high quality standards, and precisely combines tradition with innovation. The decision to not use leather in products has only allowed us to innovate further, and the comfort, durability, look and feel of the shoes reflect this. When it comes to the best of fashion, there is always an alternative; one that does no harm. We work passionately towards changing this mindset of people, and look at revolutionizing the fashion and lifestyle industry. We hope you join us.
