Answers:
leather purses are not bad i would use it because they last long so use it and it will help you and it will be a remembrance of that person so i would suggest that u may use to show that you appreciated what was given to you!.ThanksWww@FoodAQ@Com

I would not be able to use it!. I would check to make sure it was real leather, and probably ask a quick "you do know i am vegan, and this is the skin of a dead animal, right!?" if I knew the person well!. If I didn't, I probably would tell them that I could not accept it being the flesh of a dead animal and that goes against what I know to be right!.
By they way, I do still own a few things with that dead animal flesh on them!. Most I have given away, but some are just so old I am waiting until they wear out and I have to replace them, or my broke self has the money to replace them with the vegan equivalent!.
Now, though, I can't bring myself to even wear wool or silk!. I read labels of everything, not just food!.
Yes, I am vegan!. I think it's funny that non vegans are answering this question!.
By the way, leather is bad all around!. Not only for the animal it comes from, but also the planet!. The chemicals involved in the "making" of it are destructive to the planet!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would take it to a charity shop!.

If it was vintage, then I would probably give it away to someone else as I wouldn't use it but it is less ethically abhorrent than new!.

I would then introduce what it means to be a vegan to person who gave it to me a few weeks later

If it was a close friend or family member, I would ask them WTF are you thinking of!?!?!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

If someone bought me a leather item as a gift, I wouldn't trip!.
I would accept it graciously and be grateful that they thought of me!.
Most ppl don't understand the extent of veganism and I ain't tryna hurt nobody's feelingz just to prove that point!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Most vegans would bury it, by my understanding!. Or explain to them that while they appreciate the thought, they'd prefer if the person returned it and gave a donation to an animal shelter/etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would probably give it as a gift to someone else, or give it to goodwill or something!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would sell it on eBay and give the money to WSPA, or any other animal charity!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Give it away!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
