And now for a vegan leather question... - 8/15/2007 9:38:23 AM

i'm becoming a pain i'm sure, repeating questions that i'm sure have been asked a million times, but i'm sure ya'll will forgive me ;-)

i think i've found an everyday collar (yay!) but now i need a playtime collar. i know www.veganerotica.com has a line of vegan "leather" collars and accessories, my question is, what's the quality like? i know nothing compares to the feel and smell of leather, but is this really a comparable substitute? i'd hate to have it arrive and be sorely disappointed. So anyone who has/had one of these vegan "leather" collars, what did you think of it?

Thanks everyone!

In my experience, not so much. You'd be better off with metal or a piece of significant jewelry that doesn't say "cheap ass punk wannabee"...

And who says it has to be a collar on your neck? Why not a ring? It also has some secondary associations that might be appropriate as well...

My suggestion on this, if you need/want something that would be functional for play, would be to get a high quality vinyl or pleather collar. I have a pair of cuffs made of high quality "pleather" and they've not only stoode the test of time and play, but have fooled any number of people. Hope this helps!

I had it backwards - I thought you were looking for an everyday collar instead of a playtime one. Sorry.

Then yes - the veganerotica toys would work well for you. Kinda like them - but just not very good for long-term wearing. Regular pleather can be found lots of places, but the local upholstery oriented sewing store would be a good place to start. And on a crafty, make-your-own level another thing to consider is using rubber blankets, such as to be found in a printing supply shop for about $1-2 for a suitable size for a collar...

I know that my local Hancock Fabrics has a decent selection of it, yes, and the rings can be found at pretty much any craft or hardware store. It's definately something that I would go to the store to pick out, not order online, that way I could get a good feel for it before buying. Hope this helps!
