Did you keep your pre-veg leather clothing?!
I am a vegetarian and sometimes get questioned by people because I occasionally wear leather shoes or carry a leather bag!. Since going veg I have not purchased any new leather goods, but I don't feel I should have to throw the others away and incur the expense of replacing them before they wear out!. I definitely don't have the means to replace half of my shoe rack until they're not wearable anymore!. How do you feel about wearing your pre-veg clothing!? Did you get rid of your stuff or wear it until it wore out!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
I agree with you on this one and I too have pre-vegetarian leather goods/apparel in my possession!. Some of the items were gifts and also carry sentimental value!.
I have not purchased anything leather for myself since becoming veg and once the leather things I do have wear out, they will be replaced with cruelty-free items!.

I have never owned leather clothing!. =)
If I did wear leather, I guess I would feel bad about it!.!.!.but hey, that's just me :)
If you wore leather, it wouldn't make me think you're a bad person!. I just never wear it :-)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I kept my leather shoes and wore them till they wore out; as I replaced them I bought non-leather ones
It would be wasteful to throw out perfectly good shoes; you've decided not to contribute to animal suffering by not buying any more leather, you haven't decided to go without shoes!.
I think you're right to use themWww@FoodAQ@Com

yes because hello!?!!? why would you throw out stuff made from animals that you already purchased!? that would be wasting that animals life and death!. how principled would that be!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
I did, I only had a couple of pairs of shoes and a purse, I kept them until they were worn out, and then I enjoyed putting them in the bin!! :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
I kept the few items that I had like shoes and a wallet, but I could never bring myself to wear them again so I sold them at a garage sale and I made some money, YAY!Www@FoodAQ@Com
no i'm the same, i wouldn't buy anything new at all, but i'm not going to throw out what i have!.!.!. what on earth good would that do!?!?!?! my mom got a 300$ leather purse as a gift, she would never wear something that costs so much and it was highly unexpected, it was going to sit in her closet forever and never be used!.!.!. i certainly did not want a leather bag but i might as well use it since it's been bought then have it sit in a closet and go to waste!. i'd never purchase such a thing though!. i think what your doing is reasonable!. it's a pain explaining everything you do isn't it!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
I have kept mine---after all, part of being veg is saving the earth! Why fill up landfills with perfectly good stuff!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
I get all my stuff at thrift shops so I guess I a covering both ends of the question!.!.!.hahahaWww@FoodAQ@Com
