Recently purchased a Fossil Sydney tote made out of cow-hide trim and man-made material. Does anyone have more information about the man-made material they use? If it's PVC, do you consider it safe? I was hoping it was coasted canvas (made with less PVC, but I don't believe it is). I have always purchased genuine leather handbags. But this purse was adorable. Whenever I read man-made material I always think the worst. I know back in 2010, CEH investigated top retailors and found a crazy amount of lead in handbags.
Man-Made Material!

I was a bit shocked when I got the bag. I purchased it off of Poshmark so the details aren't as descriptive as it would be on the actual store page. I'm a little disappointed.
Fossil website does show pvc bags, so it is possible. Haven't found info about leather straps though...
