Red Is Tested: Velvety Vegan Skins In Summer... Versus Leather/console! We’ve spent months comparing Red’s vegan velvety skins to traditional leather and console materials. The summer heat didn’t dim our enthusiasm—the plush, supple texture of Red’s vegan options felt refreshingly soft against the skin, while leather grew stiff under the sun. Console surfaces, on the other hand, offered sleek visuals but lacked the tactile comfort we’d grown to love. What surprised us most was how Red’s vegan skins retained their luxurious sheen with minimal upkeep. Unlike leather, they didn’t require conditioners or constant cleaning, making them a clean, effortless choice. While leather had its merits, Red’s velvety alternative delivered a flawless balance of style and sustainability. We’re glad we kept testing—some tests (like this one) prove that color and comfort can shines together.
