Tel Aviv is probably the most vegan-friendly city in the world. We have so many vegan restaurants here, so many incredible vegan alternatives in each and every supermarket, but one thing this city hasn’t had was a vegan boutique. I’m happy to tell you that now it does!
It wasn’t so long ago since I discovered that a vegan boutique was opened in Tel Aviv, and oh my, how excited I was! I stopped by to visit there a few months ago, and today, I’m here to tell you all about it.
Vegan Mind, the first ever vegan boutique in Tel Aviv, is located in Dizengoff street. It offers cruelty-free, vegan, fair-trade, ethically and sustainably made high-quality shoes, bags, belts and accessories by amazing, well-known brands from all around the world for men and women.
The boutique was opened by a lovely couple- Amir the ideologist, an animal-rights activist, who was vegetarian for 31 years and later became vegan, and Michal the fashionista with an incredible fashion sense and a head filled with creativity (and beautiful curls). The combination of these two people, between compassion, ideology, and love for animals and incredible passion for fashion, created the perfect recipe for opening a boutique filled with so many ethics and values, style and an incredible style that’s just impossible to miss.
When Fashion Meets Compassion: Vegan Mind’s Ethics
ANIMAL FRIENDLY
All the items sold in Vegan mind are 100% vegan and animal-friendly, Coming from vegan companies all around the world. Vegan Mind is here to prove everyone that fashion doesn’t have to be cruel to be beautiful, high quality and fun!
HUMAN-FRIENDLY
Vegan Mind cares not only about animal welfare, but also about human welfare and human rights, and that’s why all the brands sold in Vegan Mind are fair-trade, and ethically made, committed to caring for the workers by providing them with good working conditions and fair salaries.
ECO-FRIENDLY
Yes, Vegan Mind cares about animals, about humans, and for the planet in which all of us live. That’s why all the items sold in vegan mind are environmentally friendly, sustainablly made and leather-free (more about the harmnful impact of leather, here)
HIGH-QUALITY
Of course, Vegan Mind is committed to the consumers. It provides high-quality shoes, bags and accessories from high-end brands like Nae Vegan Shoes, Noah, Good Guys Don’t Wear Leather, MeDusa, Melie Bianco, Roni Kantor and many more. Since those brands produce their items in small and medium batches, each and every item is carefully made with attention to every small detail. Those shoes are as durable as animal skin, sometimes, even more so.
EVERYTHING, FOR EVERYONE
Vegan Mind offers a huge selection of bags, shoes, belts and other accessories for every occasion for men and women. Whether you are in a hunt for casual sneakers, elegant shoes, a tote or a wallet, classic heels or sandals – you will find every single thing there, under one roof.
NOT ONLY FOR VEGANS
Vegan Mind isn’t only for vegans, but for fashion-lovers prefer high-quality, high-end, chic fashion and people who prefer to invest a bit more to get a lot more out of their money. I believe that quality over quantity is the way to go, and that’s why by purchasing items from such a boutique you can be sure your items will last for a long time.
AMAZING PRICES
You might be wondering what the prices in the boutique are in comparison to the original retailers. Well, surprise surprise- Vegan Mind is committed to the lowest prices on the market all around the world. you won’t find the high-end items they are offering for a lower price anywhere else!
PERSONAL SHOPPING EXPIRIANCE
Looking for a place where you’ll get a fun, caring, personal shopping experience? Vegan Mind is the place for you. The lovely Michal is super friendly and has so much passion for what she’s doing, and with her awesome fashion sense she will help you to find whatever you’re looking for with a huge smile and positivity (she’s so fab! seriously! I stayed in the boutique for 4 hours just to talk with her).

My Vegan Mind- Outit Details
So after spending four hours in Vegan Mind, I can definitely say it is one of the best vegan boutiques I’ve ever visited. Michal kindly provided me with a pair of boots of my choice, and this time around, I decided to go for a YELLOW pair of boots (Noah Boots) by the brand Good Guys Don’t Wear Leather. You know how much I love French fashion brands, and I’ve heard so many things about this brand in particular, and now I understand why. Michal actually wore the same pair of boots while I visited there and she spends hours walking and standing, so I truly understand her, because this pair of boots is so so comfy! The quality is awesome and this yellow color is so bold and positive, so I felt like it is the best choice to represent this boutique. I don’t usually tend to go for super bold boots, but I was surprised by how obsessed I am with this one. The heel height is perfect for every day and the structure of the boot was carefully and thoughtfully made.
I also added this cute Melie Bianco bag with the plaid print on the sides and a cute dainty cork necklace (you know how much I love cork, don’t you? 😉 )
