The hypocrisy that surrounds the use of animals for clothing is incredible.
What if we replaced the company Hermes with the company Nike, and crocodile skin with leather, and handbags with shoes:
"Nike" breeds own "leather" for "shoes".
All of a sudden, not quite as newsworthy, but in essense it's exactly the same.
I'd rather the company killed farm-bred animals than killing native/wild animals in an unsustainable fashion, and as long as the killing is carried out humanely, where's the ethical problem?
I'm with Jasime.
