    I had a couch 2 years ago and the leather on the Seats where too worn. So before I took it to the landfill I salvaged the leather off the back and sides. I ended up using the leather to rehupolster my dining room chairs. A 8 foot by 4 foot piece of leather would have cost me a fortune. It was a super great idea.

    Thank you for the video Layana! I had a strange feeling when someone told me that H&M was accepting textiles and they would recycle them. I called the 1 800 number and asked the Rep if they accepted clothing from other brands, yes. If they accept torn items, yes. If they accept clothing with dazzles, feathers or beads (glued on) -- you know what I mean those ugly clothes that some brands make with glitter, and feathers, and other stuff? She said NO. The item has to be simple and clean. As for the short tutorial, I love it! I will use your tips to save two of my fav purses. Take good care Layana!

    Love the concept. Not sure I am ready to peel the Balangica Motocross Bag I am trying to repair. I might use a decorative patch first. Would certainly consider for a re-purpose/ re-do on a cheaper bag. We waste too much. Anyone can make something new but it takes a really creative mind to bring something back to life ❤.

    I'm going through the same thing with several pairs of Faux Leather boots. I've peeled most of the already peeling pleather off & tried a variety of Leather fillers & Acrylic paint. Angelus Acrylic leather & fabric shoe paint works well after the fake stuff is all off. But the filler is just too thick, It only works on very small cracks. But leaving it as just fabric is a wonderful idea! I have a pair I'm going to let peeling off as I wear them, then keep them without the pleather. I might apply some small rinestones or fabrics. So many possibilities ❤

    Great video 👍 I was looking for a good solution to some peeling shoulder & laptop bags that I'd parked in my 'to-be-fixed' pile, and this is perfect! I'm part-way through my first one & it has a lovely grey suede-type fabric underneath.. and the coating is coming off remarkably easy. Thanks! I hope viewers listen to your message about upcycling & the menace of fast fashion... I'm a firm believer that you get what you pay for, and the rags they make out of those downcycled H&M, etc clothes are as cheap & nasty as the original outfits because synthetic fabrics make awful rags. Those 'recycling' campaigns are a marketing ploy to make customers feel better about fast fashion, nothing more... and as they continue to sell clothing that they _know_ they won't accept for 'recycling' because they can't repurpose them (with plastic beads, sequins, vinyl, etc) it's a pretty hollow sentiment.

    Famous Footwear is pretty bad too. I had bought a pair of $100.00 boots from them & all the Pleather is peeling off 😥 They lied & told me it was "real" Leather. I found 2 more pairs of those Nickles boots online & they too are peeling. So I tried a bunch of leather fillers & Acrylic paint. Never thought to just leave the fabric as is, except maybe adding a sealant to protect them. Anyway I agree & can't stand these Clothing stores that take advantage of us & destroy the environment

    All faux leather is vegan because it's not real leather. I have never heard of any specialty 'vegan' faux leather. If it's peeling like the one in the video, it's the same cheap material. There are in fact other leather alternatives like recycled leather, it's a compound of leather scraps and that looks a little like cork. But it's not vegan obviously. Then there is snap pap, it's a paper material made to look similar to leather, can be used to sewing and label making and is Maschine washable like any other fabric too. But those won't peel off too because it's not made of layers but rather one solid material. Mostly anything you can buy in stores that claims to be "vegan" leather is just plain old plastic faux leather, that super bad for the environment. Probably just as much as real leather...

    This is what I try to do with my old stuff but after owning a REAL leather bag I realized PU leather is a complete waste of money. You’re paying anywhere from $20 (cheap fast fashion) to purses and bags sold as “vegan leather” for over $100 sometimes way more. If you use these bags regularly then it’ll last you a year, maybe year and a half tops and next thing you know you’re keeping an eye out for a new one because you’re rocking a tattered bag. After that realization I bought only real leather and if you take the most basic care of it, it’ll last your whole life. I had friends or even my mother I’d shop with and they wanted help picking out a $50 range purse, I’d always suggest neither because you don’t have to pay a lot for a nice leather bag you could find a similar one for $200. They say but it’s $200! Then I point out, but how many bags have you bought in the past decade and how much have you spent on them overall? It’s a money saving investment, really.

    This is not upcycling. You may have made it look less bad but now you exposed the inner fabric, eliminating the point behind faux leather in the first place. Honestly I was hoping there'd be something about replacing the lost material at least.
