In 2025, the fashion world is all about choices—ethical, practical, and personal. At Trendophobia, we believe in giving you both: the timeless allure of genuine leather and the evolving innovation of vegan leather. Whether you’re drawn to the raw edge of a bike rider jacket or the cozy comfort of a bomber jacket, choosing between vegan and genuine leather can shape how you feel, look, and live.

The crucial query, though, is: Which one needs one to choose?

What Is Genuine Leather?

Real leather is made from the hides of animals, usually cowhide. It ages gracefully and is flexible and long-lasting. Wearing a genuine leather jacket, whether it be brown or black, is an investment that will endure for years, if not decades.

Why Trendophobia loves genuine leather:

• Unmatched texture and smell
• Breathable and naturally regulates temperature
• Develops a rich patina over time
• Highly durable – perfect for bike rider jackets
• Feels luxurious and timeless

What Is Vegan Leather?

Vegan leather is a cruelty-free substitute composed of plant-based fibers or synthetic materials like polyurethane (PU). At Trendophobia, we use only high-quality, eco-conscious vegan leather in select lines to cater to a wider audience.

Why Trendophobia offers vegan leather too:

• Animal-free and guilt-free
• Often more affordable than real leather
• Lightweight and easy to clean
• Great for those avoiding animal products
• Available in our bomber jacket and women’s black jacket styles

The Trendophobia Verdict: Which Is Better in 2025?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but here’s what we recommend:

• Want longevity and a timeless classic? Go for genuine leather.
• Need an affordable, vegan-friendly, and lightweight option? Choose vegan leather.
• Looking for authentic ruggedness in a bike rider jacket or the best USA jacket? Genuine leather wins.
• Want Do you want a leather jacket with a hood or other contemporary streetwear trends? Our vegan styles deliver.

Trendophobia supports choice and style—no matter what you wear.
