Leather/Vinyl Alternative

By Laura

In a search to find a more environmentally friendly alternative to vinyl which in turn was a more affordable/more vegetarian friendly alternative to leather, I've come across Pointe International Inc. They have eco-friendly faux leathers in some nice colors, textures and patterns. Their eco-friendly goods are PVC free, breathable (which vinyl really isn't), highly durable (many tested at 100,000 double rubs before they show wear!) and there's a few that have very soft hand to them. Rockin' good times.

I've recommended them for multiple projects. Sadly, I don't know if non-designers can get them, or if you need someone who is affiliated with a business in the industry to purchase. However, you can check out their website, contact them and go from there if you need a more affordable alternative to leather that's better than vinyl. Scope it out if you're in the market. Oh yeah, the prices are better than decent for contract grade faux leather; and they come in colors that range from conservative to sassy.
