sister_raphael | Leather pouch options

Had a blast curbside collecting yesterday and gathered a bunch of nice leather in a few different colours, and it struck me that amongst the reenactment crowd (and also nice for the Mother's Day stall) might be a few vegan, cruelty-free options made from high quality fake leather that looks and feels like leather.

Not many reenactors have an aversion to using leather in a historical sense, whether new or recycled, but perhaps there is room in my supplies to cater to vegans. I know their purchasing options are far more limited, and perhaps it might be nice.

There are some really awful fake leathers, but also some very, very nice ones, and yesterday I was able to collect some nice real and I-can't-believe-it's-not-real leather from couches and chairs. I'm always careful only to cut up the ones which are really damaged and leave the good quality ones for needy people (students) who are furnishing their homes on a budget.
