When I asked if you made a certain pleather item in real leather, I expected to receive a simple yes or no answer, perhaps a suggestion for another material. Instead, you said, “We do not use animal products or participate in environmentally hazardous practices.”
Well, I really hope that you can back that up. Modern life is ‘environmentally hazardous’ by its very nature, and if you’re going to insult me for thinking leather is an acceptable clothing material, then I expect you to put your money where your mouth is.
Are you using 100% solar power in your offices and workshops? (It’s unlikely, as you’re based in a major city.) Are all your laborers paid a living wage? (Judging by your prices, I would say no.) Has the manufacturing process for your vegan alternatives been proven to be environmentally neutral? (I seriously doubt it, as that’s why I’ve never been keen on pleather.) Also, how do you intend to get my product from your warehouse to my doorstep? (Oh, right. You ship UPS. Oops.)
See, I was going to give you money. I may still have to, as you seem to be the only people producing the item I want for $20 instead of $200, but now, well, I’m not going to be happy about it.
Also, your response about how you were only stating store policy? Well, might want to revise your store policy to something that reflects reality, eh?
No love,
Sparrow
