a beautiful piece I could layer and use for work or casual:

I'd even have paid $150 for it. Because I only want a few items in my closet that are damn near bulletproof and easy to mix and match... an "investment" piece that in the long run only costs me pennies per wear because I wear it so often for years.

And if that money goes to making sure the sheep have nice lives and the company doesn't kill predators like wolves, bobcats, etc. (like the site said they do / try to do), wonderful. I don't eat out a lot, I don't buy CDs, I don't buy many books (love the library), buy only used cars, etc... so to me, it would be worth it (and will be one day again when I'm out of my current tight bind).

But undies? No. I'll pay $25 for a package of 4 or 5, but not $25 per pair. No.

I wish I could aggregate these companies, somehow, and sell their products for less. I also found some cool vegan shoes by "Olsen Haus" but they're $$$ too ...
