Not to be confused with eco-friendly leather, which shouldn't use plastic, or heavy dyes, or animals. Pretty confusing. </p> <p>I am looking for a pair of faux leather, eco-friendly, breathable leggings that won't cost me an arm and a leg. Any winners that you have found out there? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vegan-leather-pants#post-1371276 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 14:22:24 +0000 Janet 1371276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I laugh a little bit when I see all the faux leather things being marketed as "vegan" leather now -- it's smart marketing. It sounds so much nicer, doesn't it? </p> <p>That said, some faux/vegan leathers are nicer than others. And I'm sure some are more eco-friendly in others, if kindness to the planet is a concern. I agree that quality can be all over the map. Some of its truly nice, and some of it has a weird plasticky feel that I can't stand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vegan-leather-pants#post-1371246 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 13:45:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1371246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Dianthus - if they work then why not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vegan-leather-pants#post-1371220 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 13:22:40 +0000 jackiec 1371220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always laugh when I hear "vegan" because I just assumed it meant pleather...another marketing term.</p> <p>But i cannot wait to see yours!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vegan-leather-pants#post-1371146 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 11:30:29 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1371146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does seem to be a marketing ploy but if you love the pants and they are washable, it sounds like they are a good find. &nbsp;I am looking forward to seeing how you style them. &nbsp;Perhaps with the metallicus (sp) jacket. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vegan-leather-pants#post-1371119 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 07:17:28 +0000 CocoLion 1371119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's true vegan leather is just another term for <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vegan_leather&amp;redirect=no">artificial leather</a>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vegan-leather-pants#post-1371118 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 06:44:21 +0000 Deborah 1371118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lucy that is a very good point;).

I had just assumed that vegan leather was just the fancy marketing name for faux leather, the "vegan" meaning that no animals were killed.</p> <p>I didn't know that some kinds of pleather were not eco-friendly.&nbsp;</p> <p>Can't wait to see what others say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vegan-leather-pants#post-1371022 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 02:43:53 +0000 Deborah 1371022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Fabbers,</p> <p>Apologies, slow day at the office and I will try not to bombard you with too many posts today:)</p> <p>Can someone tell me the difference between vegan leather and pleather?&nbsp; Doing a little research online suggests that Vegan Leather is simply a 'cooler' moniker for faux or fake leather??</p> <p>I get that technically it is supposed to be made from non animal products and&nbsp;Vegan leather is supposed to be&nbsp;eco friendly (the PVC versions are not).</p> <p>I have noticed on many blogs, bloggers referencing their vegan leather items in a manner that suggests they are really cool :)</p> <p>Educate me.. please?</p> <p>Of course, I do have a deeper reason for asking... I just bought a pair of vegan leather pants!!&nbsp; So much for not buying anything else this month ha ha.&nbsp; Will be posting K/R as they were a whim and I am not sure:)</p> <p>xxx Deborah</p> <p></p>
