plant-based leather

Faux animal skin

Plant-based leather is a leather alternative made from plant materials rather than animal hides—typically derived from mushrooms, pineapple leaves, apple peels, cactus, or grape skins.

The term emphasizes sustainability and avoids animal products: Her bag was made from plant-based leather.

Also called vegan leather, though that broader term includes synthetic options.
