I'm glad someone posted it! I have the longest dilemma on using animal by-products. I am not an animal activist or vegetarian. But I do love love love animals a lot and I try to eat less meat, but I'm extremely guilty of using leather when I think about the animal has to die/torture because of our wants (not needs), I burst into tears everytime I think about this & feel like I am such a hypocrite for saying I like animals yet I LOVE leather bags especially Hermes. I have thought of quitting this crave but Hermes is so hard to resist.........
I do hope Hermes has some guidelines when choosing leathers from supplier, I don't want animals being tortured and suffer a great deal of pain in order me to have a nice bag.....
