@MsHearthWitch With all of my posts about that vinyl toile, and accompanying gripes about vinyl being gross, I'm surprised/thankful I was spared.
I can see how if one were approaching their veganism with a particularly Puritanical zeal that leather would be a sinful product. Simultaneously, I know at least two vegans who wear leather all of the time.
Personally, I’d rather use a biodegradable animal by-product than a material that will poison the earth for thousands of years.
