The Real Fake Jacket
Not admitting that it's fake is tantamount to encouraging people to wear the real thing, which sounds hypocritical when you're campaigning against it. So is a self-proclaimed vegetarian wearing one, even if it was given or purchased before he/she became vegetarian. You wear it, you endorse it. That's a clear picture.

I have been an avid supporter of cork leather ever since I've turned green 5 years ago. It is a great environmentally friendly product that is a great substitute for conventional leather. Unkorkd is a great vendor to look for.

animal-free leather
Hi it's been a while that I have been looking for some alternative to leather. I'm not looking for specific items, I just need the animal-free leather to do some circus props. What kind of material and where can I find it? Can anyone help? Thanks!
Re: animal-free leather
Vegan Wares carries a microfiber material:

Vegan Erotica carries Lorica, another microfiber material:

There is a company that makes motorcycle safety gear out of
Lorica, so it's pretty durable. If you're doing anything that's
supposed to be weight-bearing, though, please test carefully!
Good luck.

Non synthetic leather substitutes?
Hello, I am currently looking to source a vegetarian leather substitute that is not made from synthetic materials which are harmful to the environment, in production and in terms of biodegradability. Do you have any ideas? I am pretty stuck!
Thankyou,
Harriet
Re: Non synthetic leather substitutes?
We should note that leather is not environmentally benign -- hides are tanned in toxic chemicals to make them non-biodegradable.
Depending on your application, cork leather may be an option.
Recycled tire rubber is another green alternative.
