"Vegan Leather"

Hi everyone! First post in the community and I have a burning question:

Vegan leather. What is it? Vegan leather can be just plastic right? After googling a polymer/polyurethane blend. Are most brands rebranding "pleather" as "vegan leather", because honestly, genius. (Shitty bit very smart)

I know that vegan leathers can also be made out of pulps from natural waste such as cork or leaves etc, but I have yet to ever see a brand specify when they use natural materials or not in there clothing (aside from Patagonia maybe.)

I just wanted to strike up a conversation that : just because it's branded as vegan it doesn't necessarily mean it's doing any favours for the planet.

Anyway, thanks guys! Go save the world 💗
