Say No to Vegan Leather

Vegan leather is not actually leather

“Vegan” leather is not real leather. It is a synthetic product often made from harmful materials such as polyurethane (PU) or polyvinyl-chloride (PVC)..

Real leather can add significant value

Leather has long been associated with luxury and often increases the value of the products from which it is made. Whether you are buying furniture, shoes, apparel, accessories, or a new car with leather seats, you are making a solid long-term investment when you buy real leather.

Animals are NOT killed for their hides

That’s right, animal hides used by the leather industry are typically a by-product of the meat and dairy industry. Cattle are raised to feed the world’s population, and the leftover cowhides are turned into beautiful, long-lasting leather products.

Vegan Leather is Fake

Consumers are often confused by fake leather alternatives

such as “vegan” and PU leather

According to One4leather.com, 55% of consumers believe that plastic-based “PU Leather” products are at least partly made from animal hides (they’re NOT) and 30% believe that “vegan leather” is at least partly made from animal hides (they’re NOT). Unfortunately, it can be difficult for consumers to know if they are buying real leather products. That’s why transparency is needed.
