No. TALA sells wool, so its range is not vegan and it carries our red tag. Any animal-free pieces we list from it score 50 points below what the same evidence would earn from a brand that clears both gates.

Does TALA test on animals?

We found no evidence that it does. It has not yet given us a signed no-testing declaration, so we cannot confirm it either.

What is TALA's Fashion Without Cruelty score?

−93. The rubric gives it 7 of 100 for what it publishes, then 50 points come off for selling animal-derived materials and a further 50 for the materials themselves. Red scores always sit below zero.

Can TALA earn the Good badge?

Not while it sells animal-derived materials. A red brand cannot be verified, so no fee can change its score.

Red tag: TALA sells wool.

TALA is sometimes listed as using only non-animal materials. Its UK site sells the Knit-Waisted Cardigan at £68, which it lists as 10% wool, so the brand carries a red tag. The rest of what we checked is recycled synthetics, cotton and viscose, and those pieces take the brand penalty only.

How we know

Assessed 24 September 2026

Desk research, 24 September 2026. TALA publishes dated figures on its sourcing, including at least 50% sustainable fibres in every product (“accurate as of May 2025”) and where its factories are. That earns the only rubric points it has. It names countries but no factories, names no mill beyond Lenzing for TENCEL, and publishes no testing statement. Its ReTALA take-back scheme with Reskinned has run since October 2023.
