One nice thing about leather goods is they age gracefully. My leather wallet gets wrinkles, oil stains, folds; but its nowhere ugly. It is infact, looks charming, and personal. As if I had extra an appendage, but detachable.
Thats why I never refrain anyone who are considering to purchase leather shoes or bags. It is a good idea, however, not to buy one with overly trendy design. You probably going to use it for years! On the other hand, overly conservative design is boriing! However, trends do come and go in cycles. I guess it’s more about the art of buying things.
My old boss used to have this studentish parachute wallet. I cannot stop myself from ignoring this fact, hence I spoke to him that people in his position should only use leather. He gave an awkward response. Must be really uncomfortable to be criticised by your subordinate, for wallet choices.
But the next day he showed me his new wallet. It was leather.

I think I should report this post to PETA
Lol.
Afaik PETA concerns are on animal welfare and killing animals only for their fur.
Leather, on the other hand, is just a means to utilize slaughter’s leftovers. So..
