“VIVUS” the latin word meaning “alive” or “living”. Something to which we believe all living beings have the right.

Here at VIVUS, we believe that the roots of veganism are not based around an all or nothing mindset, but simply a compassionate one. Compassionate and kinder choices towards the creatures with whom we as humans share our planet.

When I first started deep diving into veganism & animal rights, I became so overwhelmed trying to change everything that I knew, and had been doing my whole life. It wasn’t until I became comfortable with the idea of taking one step at a time, and that my mall steps were just as meaningful as my larger ones, that I was able to start making a difference.

While one’s diet is typically the first thought when one hears the word “vegan”, the fashion industry also plays a major role, and can often be bit of an easier first step. This revelation led me to create VIVUS handbags, an 100% cruelty-free cactus leather accessories company to share my passion with all of you, and provide you with an opportunity to make a small change for a larger cause.
