What better way to make an ultimate fashion statement right now than with a vegan leather jacket?
As a vegan myself, I have invested in lots of vegan leather jackets, shoes and bags for some time now.
In time, I’ve learned who’s worth my attention and money and I am going to share those brands with you now.
Most jackets on my list are hand-made and designed to provide you with that classic and chic look while ensuring you remain animal friendly.
Without further ado, these are the best 16 designer vegan leather jackets out there, handpicked to help you make a bold statement.
1. Skin Free Skin Coat – Stella McCartney
I like Stella’s ‘Skin Free Skin’ coat for its stylish and sophisticated look.
With a keen ethical code, Stella McCartney has pledged to forego the use of animal leather in all collections.
Any Stella McCartney vegan leather jacket is a must-have vegan statement.
Yet, this one is by far one of my favs.
2. Vegan Leather Puffer Jacket – Nanushka
Sandra Sandor has made Nanushka, her designer label, a global fashion force with deep vegan values.
Nanushka’s creations of subtle femininity and flair are beautifully matched with eco-conscious and animal-friendly vibes.
One of the brand’s signature product is this vegan leather puffer jacket.
I like this puffer jacket as it ads further volume and dimension to my silhouette, whenever I need it.
Oh, the jacket has a superb feel to it; soft, lustrous, this vegan leather jacket can be styled in a myriad of ways.
3. Vegan Leather Military Jacket – Sarah Regensburger
Part of Sarah Regunsburger‘s AW 20 collection, this ‘Dark Queen’ vegan leather jacket is an absolute head-turner.
Worn by wild-at-heart dreamers and lovers of gender-fluid styles, this label helps you stay ahead of the curve.
Made out of Italian premium vegan leather, this superb jacket has a unique military shape and a beautiful opening at the front.
4. Long Vegan Leather Raincoat – Julia Allert
Julia Allert is a high-end designer label hailing from the beautiful country of Moldova.
Driven by a ‘break the rules’ motto, and with ‘slow fashion’ at heart, this label has some of the most amazing vegan leather jackets I’ve seen!
Take this ‘Long Vegan Leather’ raincoat’, according to the designers, a unique interpretation of the country’s tumultuous and fascinating past.
The coat can be worn on its own (like a dress) or unbuttoned and paired with a classy turtle neck.
One of my favourite vegan leather jackets, especially on rainy days.
5. Vegan Leather Studded Biker Jacket – Free People
Founded in the 1970s by Dick Hayne, Free People caters to creative, confident, and conscious women.
The brand is famous for its signature boho fashion styles and vintage-inspired clothing.

I personally think it is a jacket for those who want to look like rockstars.
6. Vegan Leather Cropped Jacket – Martin Appelt
I love Martin Appelt for his joyfully ironic designs and creations.

Part of the SS20 Golddigger Collection, this cropped jacket with an all-over barcode print, has all of the MA insignia.
The jacket has detachable sleeves so you can turn it into a stylish vegan leather vest.
7. Fitted Vegan Leather Jacket – Hiraeth
Hiraeth’s Fitted Vegan Leather jacket is my to-go piece for special events.

8. Vegan Leather Cropped Blazer – Martin Appelt
Another creation of Martin Appelt, ‘500 DM’ blazer is made from apple skin.
With an all-over ‘Deutsche Mark’ currency print, the jacket is embellished with gold chains attached at the shoulders and the back.
The cut and the chains create a unique purse-like look.
This jacket is not only sustainable and cruelty-free but also gorgeously fashionable.
Pair it up with a dress, skirt or jeans, and you can rock the look of vegan activism.

Here’s another luxurious piece from Julia Allert.
I love this vegan leather suit jacket combo for its unique vintage vibe.
Cut in a slightly loose silhouette, this vegan leather jacket has a double-button fastening and a wide lapel collar.
