Animals used for their skin, fur, wool, and feathers are subjected to a life of misery, pain, frustration, and fear and, ultimately, a terrifying death. Many clothing companies like Coachtopia are exploiting Gen Z’s strong sense of ethics and compassion by using greenwashing tactics to market their products as “recycled,” “sustainable,” or “regenerative,” which can mislead you into thinking the products you’re buying aren’t harmful to animals or the planet. But clothing and accessories made from animals are always unethical and environmentally harmful. And they’re always a product of violence.

The production of leather, wool, and other animal skins involves significant animal suffering and contributes to deforestation, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. True sustainability in clothing prioritizes kindness and the environment by using vegan materials.

Let Coachtopia Know That Leather Is NEVER Sustainable

I’m concerned because you’re promoting “Coachtopia leather” and “regenerative leather” as sustainable options. Recycled leather isn’t exempt from the animal welfare and environmental issues of virgin leather—and promoting recycled or regenerative leather as a better, sustainable option conflicts with the reality of the leather industry.

In the leather industry, cows are trapped on extremely crowded farms, where workers castrate, brand, and slaughter them—all without providing them with any pain relief. In addition to being cruel to animals, leather production fuels climate change, deforestation, and biodiversity loss. It also pollutes local waterways with fecal matter, chemicals, and other waste. Deforestation caused by cattle ranching alone is responsible for 340 million tons of carbon released into the atmosphere each year.

Labels like “recycled” and “regenerative” leather don’t do anything to prevent widespread cruelty to animals or the environmental implications of leather production. As a member of Gen Z, I can tell you that young people care deeply about animal rights and sustainability and would be enthusiastic consumers of Coachtopia products if all of them were truly sustainable and vegan. I urge you to capitalize on this growing demand by ending your use of any animal skins for your products. Thank you so much for your time.
