I am also aware of this fact, which is why I myself have real leather boots, phone case, etc. However, it's not very forward thinking to not develop alternatives that are vegan, because it may be possible that the world eats less meat in the future, and therefore produces less animal leather.

I also haven't heard the answer to my question– how is this particular alternative to leather, based on rubber and pineapple leaves (and not plastic), particularly bad for the economy or the environment?
