What to buy when it comes to what are the best faux leather jackets this fall.
Fortunately more and more designers are choosing to use cruelty-free and eco-friendly leather alternatives in their collections to suit these growing demands. Brands like Stella McCartney, Nanushka and Low Classic are pioneering sustainable substitutes using innovative new materials that look and feel just like the real deal. So say goodbye to the sticky, unbreathable faux leather that cracks, peels and goes squish. Today’s faux leather is luxurious, buttery soft, durable and in many cases machine washable too – woohoo!
Where can you find one of these delightful and chic non-leather options? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re looking for a sleek and simple classic biker style, a pop of color, a trench or something with studs or animal print, we’ve found it.
