QVC SUGGESTIONS!

darlight — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 11:01:38 GMT

I WANT TO SUGGEST A LINE OF VEGAN LEATHER POCKETBOOKS AND SHOES, I AM SO TIRED OF THE "THIS IS ALL LEATHER",, AS SOON AS I HEAR THAT I AM TUNED OUT.

NOW WITH FAUX LEATHER BEING SO GOOD WHY NOT START SELLING A GOOD LINE OF BAGS AND SHOES OF VEGAN LEATHER?? THEY ARE OUT THERE.

ALSO CAN YOU CHANGE THE FONT COLOR ON YOUR PRICES?

IT IS WHITE AGAINST LIGHT BLUE AND VERY HARD TO READ, IT SHOULD BE BLACK AGAINST LIGHT BLUE, OR SOME OTHER EASIER TO READ COMBO....

(ooops sorry I did caps..too late to retype the whole thing)

I don't care for fake leather shoes, your feet sweat or get cold, in hot and cold weather, but if you want the option Q has them

@darlight Have you searched for them? There are tons of items online that QVC never puts on air. Search handbags and then filter on what you want, such as "man-made" material.

There are quite a few faux leather handbags by different brands and numerous styles.

@darlight I would also love to see a program dedicated to faux leather. Animals are slaughtered for their leather, it is not a "by product" as it brings in more money. I have been vegan most of my life, but over the years I have become more aware/educated about the pain/suffering that has been perpetrated on animals. I choose not to support these industries. I understand that most people are immune to this reality because of their upbringing/cultural conditioning. I am not here to judge or criticize, just to support any movement that supports life and compassion.

I really really agree !!!! I am also sick of "all Leather" over and over. I love the look of Dooney and burke, but not leather ! I don't like Lug or the other cotton bags, to me they look like diaper bags. Yes, a show all vegan would be great !!!

I doubt its cost effective for QVC to sell plastic handbags. It takes the same air time to sell a cheap bag as it does to sell a more expensive leather bag with much less profit. QVC's customers are accustomed to buying the better handbags.

I don't buy leather purses. I don't need animal flesh to carry my things in. I just couldn't do it.

I certainly wouldn't buy one but if that's what you desire, maybe Q will help you out.

jackthebear — Thu, 06 Sep 2018 20:58:35 GMT

vegan/fake leather isn't my taste, but there is room for all kinds of bags, without the proselytizing about how one is better than the other.

Every buyer can make their own choices,

MZ Wallace are beautiful nonleather bags....Hope QVC is listening. Not all nonleather handbags are cheap...check out Stella McCartney's falla bella line.....more than what most people ever pay for a handbag and the classic backpack with the gold zipper is always SOLD OUT.

I was a vegetarian for many years, not vegan, but consumed no animal flesh or seafood. Lots of people claim to be vegetarian, but eat chicken, turkey, and seafood. Huh?

Anyway, now I do eat small amounts of beef and everything mentioned above mostly at the direction of a dietician.

Having said that, if an animal is slaughtered for human consumption, why should the skin be discarded? Cattle are not primarily raised for their skin, but once butchered for food, why toss the skin?

Well to me, and probably many people it's just gross. Why carry stuff around in animal skin ?

Katchina624: Some faux leather is more expensive than leather. Especially cheap leather that we see a lot of on QVC.

I don't mind a faux leather handbag or jacket, but shoes are a different story, they just don't last. I'm not going to pay high end prices for throw away shoes. HSN sells faux leather handbags by the way.

The "by-product" fallacy is frequently used to justify carnism. Also, The most-cited argument is that leather is less cruel, because it's a byproduct of the meat industry. But this isn't really true. ... leather is most definitely not a byproduct, as it comes from newborn calves, or sometimes from calf fetuses. Have you ever heard someone go on about the joy of "kid" leather. The violent meat/leather industry are co-products and there is more money to be made with the leather production than the meat production.

We are not rational about our food/clothing choices. Watch the TedX talk by Melanie Joy and you will begin to understand how we are immune to the feelings towards violence. It is not your fault, it is your conditioning/culture.

Yes, it is gross to wear an animal....just as gross to eat one. The leather industry and the meat industry are co-products, not by-products. One is just as violent and inhumane as the other and we have a choice to not support violence. You might want to watch a Ted X talk by Melanie Joy - Toward Rational Authentic Food Choice.

@ahoymate

Hmmm. No. Are you suggesting advanced breeds of livestock?
