I think recycling leather is better than letting it rot. I would assume second hand leather doesn't contribute to demand for new leather, but idk.

I mean if youre too cool and stylish it might make others want a leather jacket like you 🤷 So thatd be a problem for everyone here

that's pretty spurious. i've seen cool people wearing leather jackets and i've never bought one

[-] SmokinStalin@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

No i mean like REALLY cool tho

I'd say there'd be an increase in overall leather consumption by having a strong second-hand market. Really not trying to dissuade people, you do you, but wanted to call out that things that hold onto their value in resale tend to be more desirable and could increase new sales.

This is just my made up take, i know nothing about leather, markets, or vegans.

Yes, and it contributes to the aesthetic of leather in general when even vegans use it
