When I first started becoming vegan I was worried about giving up meat and cheese, I thought it would be really hard, and it was. But something I knew would be easy for me to give up was leather. Why? Firstly, leather is unbelievably cruel, secondly leather is so unnecessary with all the vegan-friendly alternatives , thirdly, I’ve never really been into leather, haha. But in general, without the argument of ‘it tastes good’, I personally think that giving up leather is something everyone can do very easily – vegans and non-vegans alike. When people ask me for advice on how to become vegan, I say: step by step. And in my opinion, the easiest (and thus the first step) is giving up leather. But is it really easy to give up leather? Is leather even cruel? And if it is, are there any luxury vegan bags out there that actually look good? In this post I’m going to look at: Is leather vegan?
