Why Buy Vegan Leather?

 

This month we revealed the disturbing truth behind the leather industry. How it impacts animals, the environment, the workers and their communities.

We also looked at how vegan leather is on the rise. We discovered that there are now plenty of incredible alternative leather products. 

The number of eco-friendly and vegan fashion brands is on the rise.

We realised that we're no longer dependent on the nightmare that is the animal leather industry. We can continue to buy and use incredible leather goods made from several vegan leather materials.

We have the choice to make better and more ethical decisions when it comes to our wardrobe. Our choices don't have to cost the earth, animals or people.
