Vegan (or faux) leather products are making a glorious comeback with better production quality and more options than ever before. It is also very important for animal lovers, vegans and vegetarians to be able to wear fashion that is in line with their ideology. That’s why today we want to look into why you should consider wearing it and tell you how to do it with style!
What is a vegan leather?
The term “vegan leather” refers to more than one material but most of the time it means polyurethane – an amazing product of chemists mad genius. The most interesting and wonderful characteristics of polyurethane are its ability to take on many, many forms traditional leather just can’t even dream of. It can be sparkling, shiny, have any kind of shades – the list goes on and on and that is for sure one of the reasons more and more designers decide to work exclusively with vegan leather. But why should you wear it?
Why should I wear vegan leather watch straps?
There are two ways of looking at that question. One that might be seen more as an ideology and other as a practical choice that just makes sense in many many cases.
To those that are vegans or simply eco-conscious (but not just to them), it is important that it is not made of the animal’s skin and protects all life.
It is also a way of promoting a lifestyle that tries to minimize animal cruelty by showing how cool and beautiful vegan product can be.
For those of us that are just pragmatic the great reason for using vegan leather is often the price, water resistance (so important when it comes to watch straps that are constantly at risk of getting wet) and unique effects and looks that can be achieved only with vegan leather.
