Everyone knows a woman's best friends are her shoes. And yet until very recently, non-leather options threatened to leave the animal lover looking unattractive in uncomfortable and poorly constructed vegetarian shoes.
Today, however, it's a different story. The leather-free fashion business is booming. With celebs like Drew Barrymore, Natalie Portman, Edward Furlong and Pamela Anderson Lee seeking out these fashion alternatives.
Pamela Anderson has even gone as far as writing to America's top fashion designers, imploring them to use 'ethical, stylish' leather alternatives, not real skins, in their creations. Pamela is a long-time vegetarian and wears no leather in her quest to help what she refers to "the most innocent victims of fashion".
Calvin Klein, Nike and Target are just some of the organisations and individuals heeding the call. With this trend on the rise there are sure to be some trendy leather alternatives on the way. For some funky leather alternatives try Cows Are Cool.
