I have seen quite a few pre-loved bags that are referred to as “Vegetal leather.” What exactly is this? I tried looking it up but found nothing. It sounds like vegetarian leather, which does not interest me. However, when I look at the leather and read the descriptions, it does not sound like vegetarian leather. Thank you for your assistance.
 
I believe it refers to the tanning process. Vegetable tanning as opposed to chromium. Google it and you'll find some information regarding environmental impact and other proa and cons.
