Maybe they're "pleather"?
Seriously, when I went vegan, a vegan acquaintance of mine asked, "So
when are you having your leather-disposal party?" She got quite upset
when I told her that I wasn't having one.
My attitude is that having already bought leather products, it would
be wasteful to dispose of them before they're worn out, to buy
replacement items derived from non-animal sources. As my leather
items wear out, their replacements will be made from cruelty-free
resources.
I think that's responsible, and so do many other vegans and
animal-welfare advocates.
So, where does wool rate in all this? One could reasonably argue
running around without their sweaters doesn't improve a sheep's health.
