Welcome to Vegan America — A New Way to Shop Plant-Based

At Vegan America, we’re building something bold — a curated, trusted marketplace that unites the best vegan-friendly brands across food, fashion, cosmetics, and more.
Why? Because plant-based living in the U.S. should be easier, more inspiring, and more accessible to everyone.
Right now, incredible vegan brands are out there — but they’re scattered. So we asked: What if they all lived in one place? A space built for the community, by the community. A place you could trust.
That’s what Vegan America is.
Discover the Future of Plant-Based Shopping
From high-end vegan leather shoes made in Milan to cruelty-free face creams from Korea to delicious U.S.-made vegan chocolates — you’ll find it all here, in one place.
Explore. Shop. Support.
Check out the brands already on board, try something new, and support this growing movement with your next purchase. Shipping is on us — for the next 48 hours.
This is more than a marketplace. It’s a movement.
For the animals. For the planet. For each other.
Let’s change the way America shops vegan — together.
