"Eco-Leather" for the Environmentally Conscious Consumer

The Italian company Forzieri offers a wide assortment of luxury products ranging from menswear to womenswear and from accessories to housewares. Along with numerous top designers and name brand items, the site has a collection products made of eco-friendly materials such as Eco-Leather and Eco-Fur. While these products take a lesser toll on the environment, they are of comparable price and look similar (if not the same) to more harmful products. Is this the fabric of the future? Will the newly environmentally-conscious consumer be attracted to this newly developing option in the marketplace?

These handbags come from the brands RoccoBarocco, Keshia, and Coccinelle and range in price from $116 to $269.
