Perhaps it's because it's using a culinary term for a non culinary use. The problem is that they can't use the term "plant-based" because most vegan leather is made from petroleum. "Non-animal leather" also doesn't have the same ring.

- ZeroGravitas 2y agoVegan wasn't originally a culinary term, but an ethical treatment of animals one, hence the avoidance of leather.
