−	Due to environmental concerns and animal right issues, many people prefer artificial leather, often marketed as leatherette, faux-leather or pleather. Manufactures of leather tefilin and talis bags may offer a choice of real or faux-leather. As technology improves it is often difficult to tell the difference, except by the price. This makes faux-leather suitable for someone who wants a luxury look for his talis or tefilin bag without the expense. Leatherette is less expensive than real leather, addresses animal rights concerns and needs much less maintenance. It is important not to leave real leather tefilin or tallit bags out in the hot sun or in very dry environments as this can lead to cracking or fading ~~which doesn’t~~ normally affect faux-leather. Real leather tallit bags need to be cleaned with saddle soap or shoe polish to remove stains, while pleather can often just be wiped down with a damp cloth, ~~which is~~ another reason ~~some people~~ prefer artificial leather ~~for their tefilin bag~~.	+	Due to environmental concerns and animal right issues, many people prefer artificial leather, often marketed as leatherette, faux-leather or pleather.
