We've seen many sites listing the Cobra Eco as vegan, but unfortunately, that's not the case! Being sustainable and vegan is not always the same thing. The Cobra Eco uses recycled materials but from animal materials (i.e., leather). Of course, you could argue that recycled non-vegan products didn't harm new animals. However, it's best to leave those products to non-vegans not to prop-up their market value further.
