Apparis is a New York-based vegan fashion company specializing in luxury, cruelty-free outerwear, particularly colorful faux fur coats. Founded in 2016 by French entrepreneurs Amelie Brick and Lauren Nouchi, Apparis serves fashion-conscious consumers who seek stylish, sustainable alternatives to traditional animal-based apparel. The brand addresses the problem of ethical and environmental concerns in fashion by offering high-quality, vegan, and durable pieces designed to last, combining bold design with sustainability. Apparis has gained significant growth momentum, with its products sold at over 500 retailers worldwide and raising notable funding rounds, including $3 million in 2023, supported by high-profile backers[1][3][4].
Apparis was co-founded by Amelie Brick and Lauren Nouchi, who brought their French design sensibilities and commitment to sustainability to the brand. The idea emerged from a desire to redefine luxury fashion by creating elevated, cruelty-free alternatives that do not compromise on style or quality. Early traction came from the brand’s distinctive colorful faux fur coats and its transparent, ethical approach, which resonated with a growing community of conscious consumers. This foundation helped Apparis build a vibrant, bold community around its mission to merge fashion with sustainability[3][4].
Apparis rides the rising trend of sustainable and ethical fashion, responding to increasing consumer demand for transparency and cruelty-free products. The timing is favorable as awareness of fashion’s environmental impact grows, and regulatory pressures increase on supply chain ethics. Market forces such as the shift toward circular fashion, veganism, and conscious consumerism work in Apparis’s favor. The brand influences the broader ecosystem by demonstrating that luxury and sustainability can coexist at an attainable price point, inspiring other fashion companies to adopt similar practices[3][5].
Apparis is poised to continue expanding its market presence by deepening its sustainability initiatives and broadening its product range while maintaining its core values of transparency and ethical production. Trends like regenerative materials, circular fashion, and digital transparency tools will likely shape its journey. As consumer demand for responsible fashion grows, Apparis’s influence as a leader in vegan luxury outerwear is expected to strengthen, potentially driving innovation in sustainable materials and supply chain practices. The company’s commitment to quality and ethics ties back to its founding vision of redefining luxury fashion with conscience and style[3][5][6].
