From eateries and health food stores to high-street favourites and local independents, the centre offers the very best of plant-based products, including handmade soaps and toiletries to fashion and accessories, all under one roof.

Vegan-friendly fashion finds
At Buchanan Galleries, shoppers can level up their wardrobe with the latest in vegan fashion trends, with a huge selection of men's, women's, and kidswear from high-street favourites to designer labels.

• John Lewis & Partners is renowned for its roster of big brands and designer names, many of which are embracing more sustainable fashion and launching fashionably eco- and vegan-friendly lines that are kinder on the planet.

• Outside John Lewis & Partners, Hollister carries a line of vegan and faux leather staples such as skirts, trousers and jackets should shoppers wish to inject a laidback and cool Californian vibe into their wardrobe.

• Step into 2024 with new shoes and boots from Next and Schuh, both have a great range of vegan-friendly footwear made from ethical materials such as faux leather.

Refuelling on plant-power
Shoppers exploring the latest vegan-fashion trends at Buchanan Galleries can also treat themselves at one of the centre’s food and drink outlets offering plant-based items on the menu.

• Golden Spoon Café, a family-run bakery and café, offers bespoke cakes, fancy French patisserie and an array of delectable sweets. The independent store also provides a selection of hot beverages, juices, shakes, and freshly made sandwiches, rice bowls, soups and salads - many of which are vegan-friendly and all tantalisingly tasty!

• For something more on-the-go, Café Nero has its blend of popular Italian coffee and quick bites – from a packed-out plant-based breakfast menu to indulgent vegan pastries, paninis, rolls and sweet treats.

• Foodies! the premium food outlet launched by Scottish Design Exchange and was born from the desire for more local and artisan food products provided by local and independent suppliers in Glasgow. Foodies! is a treasure trove of plant-based goodies for any aspiring vegan, with brands such as Broccoli Chips, Hungry Squirrel and Sweet FA gracing the shelves with more-ish plant-based crisps, small-batch flavoured nut butters and scrumptious cookies.

Cruelty-free home and beauty
Embracing a plant-based lifestyle extends beyond dietary and wardrobe choices. Many retailers at Buchanan Galleries provide vegan and cruelty-free lifestyle and beauty products, ensuring shoppers wholeheartedly adopt a plant-oriented approach to life.

• ARRAN Sense of Scotland creates luxury bath, body and home fragrances that are all formulated on the brand’s home and namesake, the Isle of Arran. Shoppers are invited to immerse the senses with natural deodorants and soaps from its ARRAN Natural collection, which are all 100% vegan and cruelty-free, kind to skin and made from Scottish botanicals for invigorating and lively scents inspired by its island home.

• Shoppers can enjoy the very best blends of tea, coffee, and hot chocolate and explore the range at Whittard of Chelsea. Renowned for its dedication to quality, heritage, and innovation, visitors won’t be short of inspiration when scouring the store for a new favourite tea or hot chocolate blend, such as the 70% Hot Cocoa or a chocolate lover’s favourite, Cookies & Cream – simply add a plant-based milk alternative for a tasty treat.

• High-street hero, Boots is at the forefront of the vegan-beauty trend, with thousands of products such as lipsticks, eyeshadows and mascaras, bath, body, and skincare from a huge range of beauty brand favourites including KD Vegan Beauty, Milani and Anatasia Beverly Hills, guests are guaranteed to find all their beauty needs under one roof.

• For something a little more indulgent, shoppers can find high-end skincare and body products from Dr Haushuka, Cowshed, Elemis and more at John Lewis & Partners, and for a cheeky tipple or the perfect addition to any home bar, Edinburgh Gin specialises in world-class London Dry style gins infused with intriguing natural flavours all which are suitable for vegans.

Kathy Murdoch, Centre Manager at Buchanan Galleries said: “Buchanan Galleries goes beyond being a shopping destination, but also an advocate for conscious and sustainable living aligning with Glasgow’s growing reputation of being one of the most vegan-friendly cities in the UK.

“With a diverse roster of fashion, food, and lifestyle brands, all with unique offerings, we welcome those who are looking to embrace plant power during Veganuary and beyond!”
