Ruth Langsford Fashion TSV 28/10/23
Or ‘fow levva’ as Ophelia calls it.I don't even want to imagine. Clearly the factories have surplus amounts of faux leather, so we're still plagued with trousers, skirts and jackets. The team commonly known as Ruth Langsford must be their best customer.
She said it is not trousers so must be the jumper.Ruth Langsford V Neck Patterned Jumper OR Faux Leather Trousers in 3 Lengths
its 2 TSVS 1 is the jumper & one is the trousersShe said it is not trousers so must be the jumper.
I’ve never really got the appeal. I can understand faux leather being a cheaper alternative when it comes to footwear, bags & jackets, but I don’t fancy wearing skirts or trousers made out of it . I hate to be ageist but I think they’re best left to the youngsters . My teenage years have long gone- even my recycled ones!I don't even want to imagine.

Four garments I will never wear: puffer jacket, jumpsuit, anything made of pleather, and a Christmas jumper.I’ve never really got the appeal.

Just like the denim jackets,faux leather has infected all brands. They keep saying it looks so real. Well it doesn’t from what I see.I don't even want to imagine.

If you watched Kelly Hoppen the other evening launch her TSV (the throw with pillows) she was wearing a short, black leather jacket, almost a shrug, and it was obviously genuine leather. I say "obviously" not because she's rich and you assume she can afford real leather, but because it looked like leather, not like that shiny, plasticized fabric that's everywhere. Who is Ruth kidding?Just like the denim jackets,faux leather has infected all brands. They keep saying it looks so real. Well it doesn’t from what I see.
When I was younger I had a really nice plastic raincoat. It didn't look at all like leather, and if you wore it on days that were anywhere above 5°C you'd sweat half your body weight off in 30 minutes. But I thought it looked great, and it kept me dry.Let's get real. Faux leather is plastic vinyl, but for marketing purposes it's called a fancy name as saying " plastic vinyl trousers, jackets" wouldn't sell. This stuff looks cheap and nothing like soft buttery leather, but I understand that vegetarians and vegans prefer it, but why call it leather ? It's like bacon and sausages not containing meat but still retain the meat names.
