Frequently asked questions
What are coated fabrics for fashion?
Coated fabrics for fashion are textiles finished with a soft-touch, flexible surface that performs as a vegan leather alternative. Monteiro's fabrics are animal-free, colour-fast and durable — suited to bags, footwear, apparel and accessories — and are phthalate-free, REACH-compliant and made in Portugal.
Are these a vegan leather alternative?
Yes. The collection is fully animal-free and offers the look and feel of leather without any animal materials, making it a practical vegan leather alternative for fashion and accessories.
Are the fabrics soft and flexible enough for bags and footwear?

Are they durable and colour-fast?
Yes. The collection is hard-wearing for everyday use and colour-fast, resisting fading and light exposure so finished products keep their appearance over time. Ask our team about the right quality for your application.
