Has anybody bought anything from Bourgeois Boheme
Looks like a nice site.
I came across this online shop this evening.
It seems to be primarily vegan toiletries (homemade too, I believe). They are also based in the UK (I am assuming as they price everything in British Pounds).

Thanks Tigerlily.
Yes, they seem to be based in Norfolk.
Thanks i will check that out!
brilliant, cheers :D
Thanks tigerlily i think i will get some of their Mr. Botanyka Organic Shaving Soap..:)
You all probably know about the company Bboheme, but I thought I would post their url for any new vegans (or for anyone that was not aware of them)! I've found them to be super efficient and very friendly, oh and I love their merchandise even though my credit card doesn't ;)

Nice boots :)
Cherry, the'r boots are superb but the best thing is they normally deliver within 48 hours!!! Something for the weekend? ;)

Thanks for the link!
Also, I was in Lush the other day and 75% of their products are vegan. They are meant to be marked with a green dot but that's a bit hit and miss depending on the shop. However, their paper/magazine Lush Times has all the vegan products marked.
Maybe someone here will know...what's the web address for alison's gourmet chocolates? I used to know, but I lost it before I even got to order anything:(
Just wondering if anyone here has ordered stuff from Herbivore from the UK? Can you just send well concealed cash (I don't have Paypal) etc? I've wanted to order a couple magazines for a while now. They don't do overseas subscriptions unfortunately.

i just saw some shoes on www.delias.com that say vegetable leather... is that a good or ... *confused*
also saw some shoes that say "PU" upper -- what does PU mean
vegetable leather sounds OK to me, but just to be safe email the company to make sure.
Mind you, you should be able to find shops which just focus on vegan shoes....no need to court the devil etc.. ;)
but Delias has these really cute shoes-- actually I found the same shoes on a vegan site but they are like $100 -- and i can get them on delias for like $30 or something... so...
so is "PU" ok? I tried googling it but cant find it

A little bit of research and you'll see that downbound.com is terribly over-priced to the point of being a rip-off. naturalnirvana.com, rawganique.com, hempshak.com are but a few of many sites that offer better and fair pricing.Quote:

I think a lot of these sites that you all put on here are a little over priced... there just has to be some cheaper methods of getting animal free products
Awesome products, never tested on animals or with animal products or by-products. Formulated in Switzerland, made in the USA. Some are even Vegan Certified.

Hi All
Im new to this site, thanks for all the great tips and threads :)
Has anyone tried http://www.innocentoils.com they are a small friendly business based in Suffolk UK, producing handblended Balms and Oils without the use of Petrochemicals, Parabens or any other nasties for that matter. They specialise in Hemp Seed Oil which is the main constituent in all their products because of its effectiveness against Eczema.
99% products are vegan but any balm that contains beeswax can be made without if requested. I know this because I asked and they were really helpful and were happy blend the Soothing Balm I had asked for without the beeswax.:D :)
Delivery was quick and have had it about two weeks now. Its gorgeous n good for you, smells fab, all genuinely natural.:)
Oo sorry Ive gone on a bit:o Its just good to come across a company that cares about the consumer and not just profits.:D
Hi there
My company are the UK distributors of some fab USA fashion accessories brands - we only sell plether etc. goods, one of the best selling brands is Loop NYC -
There is a promo code for everyone on the vegan forum to use - if you type in vegansrock on the promocode - all the prices on the site have 30% off. This will run for 2 months.

My brother and his finace live in Sydney, Australia and I was thinking about purchasing them some vegan goodies/vegan gift basket on line, for Christmas.
They're not vegan or even vegetarian, but I thought this would be a great way to introduce them to some tasty vegan treats :)
Can any of you Aussies recommend a good Aussie vegan shopping site? I want it to be a site within Australia, as I'm not paying overseas shipping rates.
Thanks in advance!!
I found a tshirt that I want to get here:

I am the founder and owner of Downbound.com, the company that "aokelly" above suggests is over-priced. I would first like to say that "aokelly" is not who he/she says she is. She claims to be located in the Carolinas, but her emails are IP stamped as coming from Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada. "Aokelly" first appeared online in January 2006, and since then has ONLY posted items related to Downbound.com. He/she has made a long-term campaign out of using forums like this to post "warnings" about Downbound. I suspect that "aokelly" is either a competitor or someone who for some reason has a personal vendetta. He/she has not acknowledged my attempts to communicate with him/her via email, to attempt to find a solution to his/her perceived issues with Downbound.
As for the claims made about Downbound's prices, I fully agree that people should check around before buying. Downbound's prices are actually very competitive. The few products that "aokelly" references are taken in isolation from over 500 products that we carry. I am very aware of what all of Downbound's competitor's charge, and I do not feel in any way that Downbound overcharges for anything. Our mark-ups are very commensurate with industry standards, and our profit margins are slim. My main priority is making it easy for consumers to find otherwise hard-to-find vegan, fair labor, and organic products.
Thank you for this opportunity to share. If you or any of your readers have any questions whatsoever, I can be reached directly at adam.wilson@downbound.com or 416-890-4844.
Sincerely,
Adam
Heya
I am a new vegan, and am a little stuck on where are and where arn't good places to shop.
Don't worry, I eat lots of fruit, veg, pulses, grains etc, but like us all, snack food and things out of packs do come in handy.
Does anyone know of any good online shops (UK only) which do good products and are safe sites to use?
I do have a Tesco nearish, and co-op are about to open, who label there wine, YEAH! but still the selections aren't great.
Thanks
Shell
The veganstore (www.veganstore.co.uk )has lots of rather addictive things, or there's goodness direct.
I've been eating more snacky things recently due to moving house and currently having no kitchen :eek: My quick fixes from the Tesco up the road are Trufree quicksnacks in pots, sammy's organic couscous (nice flavours, and can be microwaved - handy when there's no oven), hummous and raw veg, rice cakes with tartex pate and various bars, like the nakd ones.
Hi Smiles, welcome to the forum :)
I use www.goodnessdirect.co.uk for a lot of my food shopping and toiletries. The downside is the delivery charges are quite high especially as if you want something chilled or frozen you need to order at least six them for them to deliver :( BUT apart from that they are very good and they do a vegan section as well as cater for specifc allergies.
What exactly are you after? There's a whole slew of threads on different supermarkets and their strengths and shortcomings on here - try the search or local forums. There are quite a number of places to get things online as well, but it'd help to know exactly what you're craving :)
Animal Aid and Dr Hadwens Trust are both good for confectionary and wine, I might add, since I see people have already posted the first two I was thinking of.
Thank you, I will check them out. have tried Veganstore before, but I did have a few problems afterwards, I am not saying it was anything to with them, but it has made me a bit wary- has anyone else had any problems?
Hope not because it I like the look of there stuff!!
Vegan food-wise I've only ever ordered from veganstore (about 5 times) and redwood foods (twice) and haven't had any problems with either.
:D Thats good to know, just having a look at the goodness direct- think I may be putting an order in soon, and may have to get some sweeties from vegan store (and yes I know i'm on diet- but who isn't!)
I'm on a cake diet.
.
I feature a different store every day on my blog- www.veganflower.blogspot.com
I'm close to 100 stores so far. Most of them are vegan owned and/or operated and all of them carry 100% vegan products.
Where can I find Vegan groceries online? I don't have a whole foods,etc near me so I need to buy them online. Also I'm vegan now so could someone please change my account type?
Thanks,
AJ
