jeane & jax founder and designer Silvia Gallo explains that her company is “committed to using vegan materials as we believe that handbags can be just as fashionable and on trend without causing harm to any animals.” For most consumers, leather loses its luster once they realize that cows and other animals who are killed for their skin endure all the horrors of factory farming, including castration, branding, and dehorning, often without any painkillers. Leather is also a coproduct of the meat industry—which spews out greenhouse gases and pollutes the planet.
