    Vegan leather is often made from polyurethane. I'm guessing that card is showing that the wallet is not real leather, or at least the lining isn't.

    The lining is recycled plastic but the wallet exterior is leather, plain old cow hide! That is what made the Vegan label so weird to me.

    Yeah... Seems like the marketing team is really eager to show that they are going green. They even want you to recycle the card they printed to tell you how environmentally conscious they are. lol

    I'd return it to where I bought it and find something from a company that doesn't advertise how woke they are.

    No BS, I had a horse when I was in high school that loved to eat cooked ham, like it was chocolate to him. So I wouldn't put it past a cow to have omnivore tendencies either... ;)

    Vegan leather... made from soda bottles. I read an article this past year that said that food scientists had found a way to convert trash plastic soda bottles into vanilla flavoring, using some sort of enzyme. And that over half of all vanilla flavoring is already synthetic. Yum. Just remember that next time you get vanilla pudding... you're probably eating junk plastic soda bottles

    So you have a wallet made from a bovine that drank no raw milk? Milk/cheese are right from the milk tanks on the bottom of the beeves. That ain't vegan leather that's woke leather.
