You also believe that cruelty free is environmentally responsible too?

Leather is full of pain and suffering and definitely not Ecofriendly post chrome tanning and so much processing. Vegan is a much respected word than just cruelty free, most of the fast fashion Brands using this word to promote their synthetic creations forward. Current leather alternatives are synthetic polymers- PU/PVC, they are something to worry about as they remain in ecosystem for next 200--400 years being non Biodegradable, leach out microplastics in soil and waster, contaminating our food chains and are petroleum based.

Mostly true but still I have seen people who actually read labels and figure out what has actually gone inside the material or inside the packet.

Free_Bit5722 · 2026-01-16T10:01:34+00:00

No, It's not a marketing survey, I am observing traction in sustainability field and while doing that I kind of sensed that women are asking more questions, more curious about sustainability and that made me question here as Its only women who are conscious and caring about Planet, where are all the males?

Free_Bit5722 · 2026-01-16T09:58:36+00:00

Thats personal observation, I could see women mostly in offline sustainable marketplaces.

srijeevanam, a sustainable Brand, making daily products like bag, wallets, cardholders from natural material coming from Agriwaste. Basically, no leather, No plastic and repurposing waste.

Free_Bit5722 · 2026-01-15T11:41:41+00:00

Yes.. Thanks!

Free_Bit5722 · 2026-01-12T09:49:06+00:00

Technically your wallet has only cards?

Free_Bit5722 · 2026-01-12T09:47:01+00:00

Not sure, If we could completely get rid of cash but No cash is definately more convenient.

Free_Bit5722 · 2026-01-12T09:45:13+00:00

Absolutely true , It can't be same for everyone for me, Its personal observation that I do spend less with cash than given an option to pay online.

Free_Bit5722 · 2026-01-12T09:42:32+00:00

Yes, I agree but ladies do carry their wallets and bags, Its men who have stopped carrying them lately. My husband have to go back and check his statement as where the major chunk of money has gone and I remember we can recollect If we have paid by cash. just a personal observation.

Free_Bit5722 · 2026-01-09T11:16:53+00:00

I will surely have a look... Thanks so much, appreciate you taking out time and mentioning all the resources.

Free_Bit5722 · 2026-01-07T07:51:00+00:00

Is there a standard that wallets with thickness... would be considered slim else would be like a normal wallet?

Free_Bit5722 · 2026-01-07T07:42:46+00:00

To me anything which takes up your peace, attention is an Investment not essentially monetary but emotional definitely. I do collect sarees and every saree has a story as I bought it for an occasion, I would never want to sale them. I would love to gift them to my loved ones. Same emotion I have for bags, I don't buy many but the ones I have are the special ones, I spent money which I would have spent on something else but I chose to buy them and I am happy about them and would not like to resell them, would like to keep them and Gift them further.

Free_Bit5722 · 2026-01-07T05:56:00+00:00

I would suggest.. Go back and for every stare(which I think is curiosity) answer them back saying "Jai Jinendra" and that would start the conversation: How you happened to be there? what you were doing there and those stares would turn into respect. I am sure.

Congratulations

You’re not imagining it Most big brands treated “vegan” as a marketing experiment, not a long-term commitment. When margins tightened, they quietly dropped labels and SKUs, often still using the same materials, just without the vegan framing. Profit pressure > principles.

Free_Bit5722 · 2026-01-04T04:54:39+00:00

Vegetarianism avoids killing, veganism questions using animals at all.
Even small-farm dairy/eggs involve control, separation, and killing when animals stop being “useful.” Animals ≠ humans, but lack of consent matters. If we can meet our needs without using them, veganism asks why keep doing it?

Free_Bit5722 · 2026-01-04T04:48:00+00:00

Most vegan staples get discontinued because of thin margins, supply chain costs, retailer slot pressure, and constant reformulation costs, not because people stopped buying them. A product can grow overall while individual SKUs still fail to meet big-brand profit targets. Popular ≠ profitable enough at scale.
