@offbeatbelts: Don’t fall for the psyop, invest in quality, minimise your waste. I stand completely against factory farming. However, vegan/faux leather doesn’t save a single cow or even slow down the beef industry. It’s the fast fashion industry’s way of guilt tripping you into buying plastic trash. With the amount of fashion waste produced year round, minimizing your waste with long lasting products like full-grain leather is the best course of action you can take against the industry. . . . . . #veganleather #fashionhistory #leatherfashion #leathergoods #leatherjackets
I SAY THAT VINTAGE FUR IS MORE ETHICAL ALL THE TIME AND NO ONE LISTENS

I believe that using the entire animal is one, if not the only way, to honor the life of that animal. I also believe that a big part of our health problems are coming from wearing plastic clothing. So, if I'm eating them, I'm wearing them.

This is what activists get wrong. They become absolutists and miss the forest for the trees.

Same with wool! Even if all sheep stopped being slaughtered for meat today and were never again, they would still need shearing. It's renewable, biodegradable and a fantastic insulator against both cold and heat. It can be used in clothing, in house insulation, and many other things. Sheep HAVE to be shorn.

I wish the term vegan leather was reserved strictly for leathers made out of things like mushrooms and plants etc and the rest should have to be labelled as plastic in some way. I think it would make people more aware of what they’re buying and allow them to make a more conscious decision about it.

Also, if your grandma has an old fur coat laying around that you might inherit. WEAR IT. It’s so much better than letting it rot and by wearing something 30+ years old you are not going to support the fur industry today.

I have a jacket in perfect condition that is 60 years old. Black with beautiful purple satin lining after my grandpa's brother. It's like 15 vegan leather jackets on landfill (those good quality) or 60 bad quality. If we take 20 jackets we have 300- 1200 jackets ad to that faulty examples that can't be repaired or repurposed like real leather can and numbers go really high...

also with the shaming of vintage or secondhand fur like why do we want to throw away such big parts of animals that are already dead / are going to die.

buy second hand vintage real leather if you can. I know not everyone has the privilege to shop good second hand clothes but if you can, consider that option.

Like yeah, let me try and be better for the environment and buy a plastic jacket that’s going to rip apart and put more micro plastics into the environment rather…than…just use the stuff that already exists like what,

also. cows can die naturally or of old age and it wouldn't affect the leather.

maybe there’s another option: just don’t buy vegan or animal leather

is wearing the skin of a corpse ethical just because its dead? its by principle to not wear leather as a vegan because doing it is using the animal as a resource that we can just take

I feel the same about fur. VINTAGE fur. Faux fur is heinous plastic environmental tragedy. My aunt’s floor length mink she bequeathed me and the short sporty 60’s beaver coat I picked up from the thrift for $15 are forever.

Also in a perfect world I think we’d only utilize domestic animals after they passed from natural causes. That alone would provide enough ethical hide to clothe people with the necessary coats & such.
