    there is polymer leather which works fine enough, and if you’re a futurist and like wacky technology i remember reading about fungal leather as well as leather made from kombucha scoby, both sound weird and cool. using actual skin for clothing is weird but uncool

          i find it nothing else than natural, but i don’t want to argue about this. i think that leather is used because it’s both strong and nice to touch. if there was another synthetic that could match leather’s durability, feel, and aging, i would use it over leather. that’s why i think that lab grown meat could be a good idea
