So in this blog, we are going to talk about the alternatives of leather, like Vegan Lether and Faux leather. Let's start from the beginning! What can we do to minimize animal slaughtering for their goods at our end? Buy second-hand or recycled leather. Go to your nearest vintage markets to find secondhand threads.
