Our Story


Our Story — Where Compassion Meets Style
Hey There!
I’m Pia Trivedi — supermodel, animal activist, breathwork facilitator, and the heart behind Pia’s Faux. When I first started this journey, I dreamed of a world where fashion didn’t cost life. A world where every beautiful bag could tell a story of kindness.
This is me
Fashion has always been my stage, but animals have always been my soul. Growing up, I felt a deep connection with creatures — from stray rabbits to majestic horses. Over the years, as I worked with PETA and rescued domestic animals, the gap between style and empathy became painfully clear.
I’m a practical spiritualist: I draw strength from Lord Shiva, meditating on universal energy and compassion. That spiritual grounding became a compass — guiding me to create something beautiful and benevolent.
Why Pia’s Faux Exists
The fashion world is saturated with pieces made from animal hides — but I know there’s a better way. With Pia’s Faux, I set out to design cruelty-free bags that don’t compromise on elegance, quality, or heart.
My vision is simple yet ambitious:
-
Use innovative, eco-friendly materials (think plant-based leather, upcycled textiles)
-
Design with style, function, and sustainability in mind
-
Build a brand where each purchase gives back to animal welfare
A portion of every sale supports my NGO, dedicated to rescuing and caring for domestic animals. Your choice to carry a Pia’s Faux bag becomes a step toward healing, compassion, and sustainability.
What We’re Building Together
-
Impact-first craftsmanship: collaborating with material suppliers who share our values.
-
Educational storytelling: Through our social media, we talk about why cruelty-free matters and how we can shift consumer mindsets.
-
Powerful partnerships: working with influencers, brands, and sanctuaries to amplify our message and reach more hearts.
Our Vision for the Future
I dream of a world where cruelty-free fashion is not niche — but the norm. Where designers choose compassion, and customers choose with consciousness.
