Amapola vegan shop: history and ideology
The shop is the personal project of Raquel, the shop’s owner and a huge animal lover. She has been in business for more than 6 years, and her original motivation came from her own difficulty in finding vegan products that weren’t just food.
Raquel is a fierce advocate of veganism as a lifestyle that goes beyond diet. This has led her to practice her beliefs in all areas of her life.
The aim is to develop ethical and responsible consumption and for her, to only sell products that are free from animal suffering and have been made in good working conditions. Without compromising on the quality of the product, of course.
- Her keywords are human rights, environmental responsibility and animal protection.
- As far as possible, she aims to promote the work of local manufacturers, such as the shoe brand Flamingos’ Life (I couldn’t resist buying a pair of their shoes!)
