Vegan Shopping Made Easy: Your Go-To Online Stores (2023)

The UK’s number #1 vegan supermarket, Vegan Kind is an online marketplace designed to make your plant-based journey as easy, tasty, and diverse as possible – giving you access to many vegan brands, products and offers, all in one place.

Great for plant-based eaters, allergy sufferers, newbie vegans, and long-standing vegans alike. I particularly love that they sell some speciality brands, including La Fauxmargerie’s luxury vegan cheese (great for gifting, or just as a late-night snack for yourself!).

They also provide helpful info on vegan-friendly hotels, restaurants, experiences and recipes, making them an excellent all-around resource!

Ocado is hands-down the best major supermarket chain for vegan food! They have many more plant-based choices on offer than any others I’ve come across.

Vegan shopping is made so much easier by the handy vegan section of their website, where you can also search by your specific vegan needs, e.g. dairy alternatives, ready meals, or desserts and treats.

Having your groceries delivered to your door is better for the environment, plus it means you don’t have the faff of trekking to the shops yourself! So for hassle-free groceries, it’s definitely worth giving this delivery service a go.

Ethical Superstore may not be fully vegan, but they’re one of the places I regularly find myself shopping! They have plenty of animal-friendly products, plus I love that they also prioritise ethical and eco-friendly brands (something which is still important to consider when shopping as a vegan).

They make it easy to shop by different ethics. So for example, you can shop by the value ‘Vegan’ and filter on just these products. They sell a huge range, so if you’re struggling to find what you’re looking for, then Ethical Superstore should have you covered!

If you’re looking to kit out your vegan wardrobe (with pieces that you’d actually want to wear!), then get yourself over to Immaculate Vegan – now! They have the most beautifully curated collection of premium vegan fashion, and only work with carefully selected ethical and eco-friendly brands.

Founded in 2019, Immaculate Vegan are on a mission to help people make better choices that positively impact animals, people and planet when they shop.

And the best bit? You don’t have to rely on website filters. You can rest assured that every product has been vetted to ensure zero animal-derived products or materials.

If you’re looking for vegan shoes that look and feel like real leather, then Will’s Vegan Store is where you want to head first! They have a gorgeous selection of high-quality winter boots, trainers, and faux leather accessories (minus the suffering caused by the leather industry).

From vegan leather jackets to no-wool overcoats, they also sell a lovely collection of outerwear. Good coats can be hard to come by as a vegan (due to common animal materials like wool or leather), so they really do fill a lot of gaps in your vegan wardrobe.

Even better? Will’s Vegan Store, as the name suggests, have a 100% animal-free ethos (they’re PETA-approved vegan), so you’re safe to put absolutely anything in your basket.

I often link to Wolf & Badger in my buying guides. Although they’re not a strictly vegan store, they are a global marketplace for independent and ethical brands, so they have a good selection of designer vegan products.

As a certified B-Corp, Wolf & Badger don’t just talk the talk – they walk the walk! They even have three physical stores that you can visit in London, New York and Los Angeles, if you’re in the area.

Cult Beauty sell many of my favourite cruelty-free and animal-friendly personal care brands. They pride themselves on transparency (listing full ingredients and publishing all reviews), and only ever promote high-performance products that they truly believe in.

The introduction of Provenance Proof Points gives third-party accreditation, using cutting-edge blockchain technology to assess the impact claims of a product.

You can also easily shop by your values, e.g. vegan, cruelty-free, 1% for the Planet, etc!

With B-Corp certification, zero nasties, and a planet-friendly ethos (they are committed to plastic freedom by 2025), sustainable champions Big Green Smile are a fantastic store to support.

They exist to showcase the best non-toxic and natural brands from around the globe. And they are firm believers that the seemingly small actions we take as individuals can make a big impact. I can definitely get behind this!

Not all products are vegan, but they have a handy ‘Shop by Value’ feature (and all the products on their website are cruelty-free).

Before going vegan, I can’t say I’d ever set foot in a Holland & Barrett! It was always a shop that was right there on my local high street, but I just dismissed it as a bit of a fusty health store.

Well, how times have changed! Holland & Barrett have been a lifesaver for so many of my vegan needs I struggled to find anywhere else, e.g. picking up a good vegan multivitamin, or a cheese alternative like Nutritional Yeast.

When it comes to your health, you particularly want to ensure that you buy from a trusted source. Thankfully, Holland & Barrett are Europe’s leading health & wellness retailer. They also offer a handy Click & Collect service if you have a store near you!

This list would not be complete without NOTHS! It doesn’t sound like the biggest selection, but honestly, if you’re looking for a thoughtful vegan gift, then NOTHS should be your first port of call (they are heavily featured in all of my gift guides!).

It’s all in the name, but the unique selling point is that you won’t find these items in large high street stores. There are many options to personalise your gifts to make them truly special.

From vegan cheese-making kits to sweet treats and spa boxes, there are loads of lovely vegan-friendly options that will line the pockets of deserving small businesses! I have never been disappointed, and these one-of-a-kind gifts are always well-received.
