Bentley Working On Vegan Alternatives To Leather Interiors

Bentley Working On Vegan Alternatives To Leather Interiors

The Bentley factory, Crewe: a large, red-tanned hide is mounted with pride on the wall opposite various seat options it can adorn.

It’s an enormous piece of leather, to show you how unblemished and downright high on quality it is.

Its size is impressive. Certainly, I wouldn’t have wanted to be the person responsible for removing it from its male, Spanish and, from what little I know of bulls, probably quite grumpy owner.

He and his ilk are chosen over other bovines with good reason.

Ridiculous and stupid. What other insanity will the deranged liberal left promulgate with their crazed political correctness harebrained notions.

Why doesn't Bentley use tissue paper as a covering for the seats. It is renewable, you know.

Seriously . . . ?!?!

This does not effect you in one bit! Don't buy a Bentley or hold VAG stock.

This is a great move by Bentley!

From a Business point of view:

This is a great move because it would allow Bentley, and the rest of VAG, the ability to more directly control the costs of one of the raw materials they need for production. It will potentially allow them a greater control of both quality and production costs, while reducing waste and costs associated with dealing with that waste.

Bentley would potentially also spikes in the costs of procuring the leather: shortages, government regulations, spikes in demand for leather, loss earnings due to changing views on the use of animal products.

Less production costs = greater profit

From an ecological perspective:

Cows are the second largest producers of CO2 on the planet. Regulations will come that will effect the meat production industry. In addition, it allows for the reduction of waste from the harvesting of the leather.

Vinyl?
Cloth?
Vegans are their own culture of idiots. Tell them to be content with their Subarus.

You don't have to be a Vegan to own a Subaru, nor do you have to be an idiot to understand that we are a long way off from colonizing another planet, so we better take care of the one we "have".
