Ok, wtf is vegan leather

I'm sure it is just leather not made from cows....I'll accept that.... it's pleather

But who the fuck is eating it for it to be called vegan.  

I guess I just assumed vegan meant it was eaten or drank in some way.....but if I buy a fake fur....is it vegan fur?

I hate this name and it's stupid

Can we just all agree it’s made from vegans?

I think it’s a rebranding of synthetic leather or pleather.

Because it’s not made from real animal, it’s technically vegan, so it’s supposed to make people feel good for supporting vegan leather. But in reality, they’re actually buying rebranded flea market handbags.

Way before the pandemic, I found this little collection of cow hides in IKEA and I was like .... oh fuck thats a lot of dead cows to just throw on somebody's floor as a rug 

 

But then I was like..... cows get slaughtered every day for meat so .... is the cow hide economical in that you're not throwing pieces of dead cow away ... or are these separate rug cows that get slaughtered
