Deborah Taylor / Managing Director / Sustainable Leather Foundation

Consumers have for a long time been misled by organisations trading off the association of 'leather' as a quality item by adding the term to their material, for example faux leather, PU leather, mushroom leather, pineapple leather, plant-based leather. Even worse, more recently misleading consumers into thinking that by adding the words ‘Vegan+Leather’ together – then this must be a great product.
