We're of a similar mindset I think, only that I really don't think I could bring myself to eat meat, simply for the EUW factor, rather than the moral side.
I've been told that british leather is a by-product of the meat industry. I don't know if this is gospel, but it would be interesting to find out when I've time to google that.
I think Italian leather is specialist, and usually animals reared for skin only, which is why it's higher quality?
kafunked knows more about this than I do as he currently works for a luxury leather goods company (great job for a vegetarian!!)
