Choosing not to wear leather or eat animal products is a personal decision. My wish for that skirt to be made of synthetic materials is simply so I could allow myself to own it (if I could afford it, that is). It's a beautiful piece! Secondly, I have not bought new leather shoes since I became a vegan. However, I have bought vintage leather shoes. I don't purchase newly made animal products because I do not want to support the leather/meat industry. But vintage leather shoes, for example, have already been bought and sold at least once. Purchasing them at this stage does not contribute to the industries I am boycotting at all. Because those Doc Martins are several years old and can only be found on eBay or in secondhand shops, I would not be contradicting my veganism by purchasing them. Finally, I do not carry a leather bag. It is true that the PS1 is made of leather, but I could never buy it an I don't expect anyone to buy it for me. It's part of this fantasy wishlist, and it falls under the same category as the J. Crew skirt...I would consider it more seriously if it wasn't constructed of animal hide! I hope this satisfies your curiosity.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662771012677976651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163884846988370355.post-11798074512178991472010-11-30T17:05:11.908-08:002010-11-30T17:05:11.908-08:00just curious: why do you proselytize your veganism...just curious: why do you proselytize your veganism and refuse to wear a leather skirt but wear leather shoes, carry leather bags, etc.?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163884846988370355.post-28136593706191983242010-11-30T14:05:10.220-08:002010-11-30T14:05:10.220-08:00I love the ring and the satchel.
