In the past, I've never had a problem with wearing leather. I cherished my "real leather" handbag and fawned over the beautifully constructed "real leather" jackets and boots I saw in magazines or fashion blogs. Yet as I've recently set foot on my journey of "leaning into veganism" (thanks, Kathy Freston), the issue of wearing leather has become more and more problematic for me as both a vegetarian and animal lover.
