Why choose faux leather garments and accessories?

As we recently talked about cactus leather post, why don’t we dive into this topic a little bit deeper, so that we could find out some more benefits of using artificial leather? After all, it is great to see how the production of faux leather has developed through time, and it is only a matter of time what other fine substitutes will be presented in the future.  

Better for the environment

One of the main issues concerning the use of real leather was the impact it has on the environment. Before leather could be used to make clothing or accessories such as handbags, it has to be prepared. This is done by using some toxic chemicals. What is great about faux leather is that it does not have to go through the same path as it is made from recycled materials. 

Another important aspect is animal cruelty. By changing your habits and choosing fake leather, you are making sure that no animal was sacrificed for your luxuriously looking clutch bag. Is it worth it jeopardizing the whole ecosystem for this?

Better for us 

We want to believe that with each day we are becoming more aware of our environment and those who are around us. However, we should not forget about our well-being too. Using artificial leather could be beneficial to us for economical and practical reasons. 

For starters, faux leather is cheaper than real leather. But for those who believe that a more expensive thing is usually better, this is not the case. Artificial leather is more durable, it does not wear out easily. Also, good news for DIY lovers who like to experiment with their looks: since it is easier to process faux leather, you can dye it or decorate it easier than real leather. And for practical people who get a headache each time they think about finding a good cleaning place, you have nothing to worry about, as it is super simple to take care of faux leather garments. Oh, and did we forget to say? Artificial leather looks just like as real leather!
