real leather vs. fake leather
I apoligize if this is in the wrong catagory..
I support PETA's campaign, stating not to wear real fur, leather, and wool. However, I do not know if some things that I own are real leather, or just fake leather. I do not own any leather clothing, but I do have leather binders for school.
I REALLY don't want to use real leather, so I would like advice on how to tell the difference between real leather and fake leather. However, they won't tell you on the product most of the time, so I can't do that.
Thanks

The easiest way to see if it is real, is to sniff it.
I work for an thrift store that supports animal rights so we don't sell leather. I have to tell the difference between real and fake leather ALL THE TIME. If it smells like leather, it is leather.

I'm a vegan, but technically not because I still wear leather. However, it's all leather I bought before going vegan and I haven't bought any leather since then. only pleather. you're okay to wear leather if you bought it before you consciously stopped using it.

for the binders- it is pretty unlikely that they are real leather, so that's probably just plastic. As for everything else, things like sneakers and belts may have leather . It's usually softer than pleather and smells less syntheticy. other than that, when buying things it's difficult to tell whether it's leather or pleather, but you know that if it's really expensive, it's probably real leather.
