That being said, vegan leather just isn’t the same as the real thing and your
one-time authentic leather purchase will last you for years to come. So is
buying leather clothing items really all that bad? You’re about to find out
because in today’s blog we’re uncovering everything you need to know about
leather sustainability.
Activists’ main argument against leather is that animals are being killed for
clothing. They have also flagged the chemical tanners used to soften leather
and the greenhouse gas emissions that come from raising livestock as being
an environmental concern.
Here are a few reasons you should consider letting real leather back into your
life:
Meat Is Already An Industry
North Americans consume quite a lot of beef and since there is already a
thriving meat industry, it would be wasteful to not make the most of what’s
already there. In addition, the amount of waste that would be generated by
throwing away skins simply isn’t worth the hassle!
An Irreplaceable Heirloom
Leather jackets can be passed down through generations and carry a
sentimental value with them that is irreplaceable. Aged leather also has a
distinctive look that makes it full of personality. There’s nothing quite like
throwing on your dad’s old biker jacket!
Nothing Can Compare
No alternative form of leather can compare to the real thing! Genuine leather
is a highly sought after material because of its insulating capacity, resistance
to wear and tear, and overall aesthetic appeal.
