While I respect my vegan friends and those who don’t wish to wear leather, those who do should know that they have a more eco-friendly choice than most. The company is called Bernardo Fashions, and their leather is derived from cattle that are being used for food, hides that would otherwise been discarded as trash. The company that the cattle come from are Hormal Foods. The company also recycles its waste, turning it into fertilizer.

Standard leather couches are a huge out of  pocket investment to start with. Why not pay a little extra for a couch that looks awesome and is made from eco-friendly leather? EcoSelect’s designs are gorgeous.
