What is Genuine Leather
Genuine leather defines real animal skins which are only by-product of the food industry. Therefore Real Leather starts and ends with nature.
Most common animal skins used for garments are sheepskin, lambskin, goatskin, cowskin.
We are actually using what is left-over from food industry. Consequently animals’ skin is a by-product and perfect for sustainability
As a result, by bringing trash back to the economy this material becomes a perfect way of fighting against climate change.
To conclude, Real leather is a warrior of Nature against Fast Fashion. Long lasting, durable animal skins look better and better every year after usage.

The fashion industry managed to establish the term Genuine Leather which means somewhat difficult to grasp. According to dictionary, the word “genuine” has many meanings such as authentic, real, true, or actual. In other words, much more direct synonyms to the term “Genuine Leather” would be “True Leather”, “Real Leather”, or “100% Leather”. In short, genuine only means that something is actually made of leather but does not speak about the quality of the leather.

What is the difference between Leather and Vegan Faux Leather
Contrary to what’s being told for the nature, true leather performs much better than so-called vegan (fake / faux) leather which often contains petroleum.
Real Leather, which refers to the natural hide and wool of the sheep, lamb, goat or cow, is a very long-lasting material. On the contrary Faux Shearling, which is synthetic and fake, would look worn out in 6 months falling apart and torn. “Fast fashion” is promoting Faux Shearling for people to make purchases more and more.
Besides, animal skin is a breathing material which is a major concern for your health compared to non-breathing synthetic fabrics.
