Festival season is upon us! No matter how much we love festivals, the fact is that music festivals can make you hot, hungry, and exhausted. The key to having a good time is to be prepared.
To help you get ready, we selected these 10 must-have cruelty-free essentials for festivals.
1. Fanny Pack
Trust us, you’ll regret carrying around that backpack or bulky purse when you’re packed into a crowd of dancing people. Minimal, hands-free bags are the way to go. And luckily we got just the bag.
Our Slim Belt Bag is minimal, yet so chic that it also serves as a fashionable addition to your look. Strap it around your waste with the adjustable waist strap and fasten with the beautiful metal buckle. The perfect way to store your essentials for the day!
2. Cruelty-Free Toiletries
Make sure you that bring your cruelty-free and travel size toiletries to stay fresh throughout all of your festival experience.
Before the festival, head to animal-friendly retailers such as LUSH or The Body Shop to stock up on essentials such as dry shampoo, wet wipes, deodorant and sunscreen.
3. A Hat
A hat or cap is a must-have for any festival. Protect yourself from the sun while standing out with a cute hat for the fun, playful, sweet festival vibes. Plus, it can make any day a good hair day! Even after days of festival camping.
Check out this sustainable Cowhugger Hemp Hat that is made from 40% hemp, 25% cotton, 35% recycled polyester!
4. Weekender Tote
Pack for your fun weekend away in style! Stuff your festival outfits (plus all of the other essentials) inside this beautiful, spacious, vegan leather tote and you’ll be ready to head out the door!
Our Weekender Tote is made from an ultra durable, crossgrain microfiber vegan leather shell and features great organization.
5. Nutritious Snack Food
Most importantly! Especially if you are heading to a non-vegan festival, be prepared by stashing away some nutritious vegan snacks.
Think nuts, fresh fruits and veggies, dried fruits, dark chocolate, (homemade) vegan protein or energy bars, granola, plant-based milks, crackers, or other yummy vegan snacks.
6. Your favorite animal rights T-shirt
Make a statement and inspire the people around you by putting on your favorite vegan T-shirt. Compassion looks good on you!
7. A Compact Wristlet
Keep your cash and cards organized, and make it easy to carry your wallet hands-free by bringing a wristlet along.
Our Mini Wallet does the perfect job in keeping your essentials close and safe for an ultra-light day (and night) of dancing.
8. Biodegradable Glitter
Who doesn't love to shine during a festival? Glitter is beautiful and fun, but did you know that normal glitter can take up to 500(!) years to biodegrade and often ends up in the ocean?
Luckily there are other options! Choose a 100% biodegradable and cruelty-free glitter so you can shine on!
9. Face Mask
Stay safe while being in big crowds with a (reusable) face mask.
Our reusable face mask uses cotton treated with Dupont's Silvadur silver ion technology, which allows your mask to smell fresher longer and improve the life of the material.
10. Your Beautiful Self!
Of course, the most important thing to bring along is your beautiful vegan self and to have fun! And by entering festivals prepared, you avoid getting hot and hangry and assure that you will have the best time!
Enjoy festival season!
