It’s the start of the year, which means many will try to adopt healthier and more sustainable habits – including Veganuary.
The January challenge invites us to swap out meat products in our diets and lifestyles, be it just for the month or as the start of a longer-term choice.
Vegan leather alternatives can be a great way to start.
With smarter technology able to imitate real leather textures and looks, and more , there’s plenty to choose from – high street to high-end.
The actual alternatives used in place of leather vary widely too – we won’t pretend they’re all going to be sustainable or good for the planet. But by cutting our animal consumption, that’s arguably one less evil to face.
From bags to belts to boots, these are some of our current favourite vegan leather buys:
Dr Martens Vegan Jadon II Platform Boots
