  • Faux leather has become increasingly popular over the last few years and is expected to grow into a market worth over $85 billion by the year 2025.

  • If you're looking to make the switch to faux leather, we rounded up 15 tech accessories like phone cases and a faux-leather Apple Watch strap to help guide your search.

There's no hiding the fact that faux and vegan "leather" goods have skyrocketed over the past few years, but what you might not know is that the global market for vegan leather is set to hit $85 billion by the year 2025, according to Grand View Research.

A few factors have contributed to this growing trend, like increased environmental consciousness on the part of shoppers, and a lower cost of production on the part of retailers. It's no wonder why fashion companies like Matt & Nat, Pixie Mood, and dozens of shoe brands have worked their way into the spotlight in the recent months - quality plus style plus environmental awareness equals a win for everyone.

But bags and shoes aren't the only accessories treading into the vegan terrain. Tech accessories are also getting an update.
