What about the middle ground? So called "Bi-cast" leather... Which is a layer of Vinyl over a layer of low grade leather... In some places this isn't allowed to be called "leather' but not in the US... where you can see it in all the low end "leather" furniture (I'm looking at you IKEA, Cost Plus, Crate and Barrel)

I'm pretty sure it's my clothes that are the most expensive thing I'm putting into the wash.. why fade and poorly clean them to save a buck?

Seems penny wise and pound foolish.

I love it that a $200 pot that comes with a plastic handle is "one of the little things".

I mean really. Think about that.

so, ethically dubious copying == ultimate evil.

But on the same page, breaking fire code to have a charming fire escape == fun?

right on jess thrift, I'm right with you.

using something other than it "expected" purpose is not recyling.

There are pieces or pipes, pieces of glass, etc. with no indication of a previous use. And a circuit board, which is obviously not recycled.

Lame.
