The word “pleather” is a popular slang term for synthetic leather made out of plastic, and is actually a combination of the words “plastic leather.” When pleather first arrived on the fashion scene in the 1970s, the word was used in a derogatory manner, implying that the pleather wearer was just too poor to buy the pricey, stylish genuine leather items that were in fashion. In today’s more enlightened times, however, many people prefer wearing articles of clothing because they are against using products made from animals. This animal friendly fabric gives individuals a trendy way to show their support for the animal rights movement without sacrificing any of their fashion sense.
Cause that might remind the average person that their clothing is made from a substance that is constantly in the news with regards to reasons why we have environmental problems. Then you might get into a debate about whether you really are saving an animals life if you are damaging the environment.
