Audio Architect Apparel Animal Welfare Policy

The Audio Architect Apparel brand believes in welfare for all, no matter how many legs you have, what colour your feathers are or how slimy your skin is. We are all part of the same environment and therefore we, as a producer of products, recognise our responsibilities towards all living things. 

This statement of intent is here to outline to you how we source and the standards that we feel must be complied with in the production of our products.

  • We strive to support our vegan customers: All the products on our website are free from animal derivatives, and therefore Vegan. Any product that does use an animal derivative is shown to be NOT VEGAN in our product descriptions.
  • Products derived from animals (e.g. wool) are only accepted from suppliers that are traceable back to the farm.
  • All animals associated with our products are treated as per the following guidelines:
