Vegan Leather Tutorial
I know a lot of the fashion we talk about here says “made out of vegan leather.” But what is vegan leather, really? It can acutally mean a whole bunch of different things. Here’s a rundown of the most popular types.
Vegan leathers include:
- Vegetan: This is a microfibre material that is specifically designed and used as an animal-friendly leather substitute.
- Lorica: This material is made out of several different microfibers. Sidi, an Italian motorcycle company uses it a lot.
- Birko-Flor: This is what eco-icon Birkenstock uses. It’s made out of acrylic and polyamide felt fibres. There are two kinds — the kind you find on normal Birks and a kind that looks like pleather.
- Birkibuc: Another Birkenstock baby. It’s made out of the same stuff, but looks and feels like nubuck leather.
- PVC: Finally, a term you should be familiar with! Good for animals. Not so good for environment.
- Kydex: This is an acrylic-PVC alloy. It’s produce by Kleerdex, a manufacturing company.
