Vegan Leather?

I was shopping for a birthday gift today.  As I wandered the store looking for what I thought the birthday person would want, I walked by the luggage and hand bags. On one round display table were some brown and black bags. At the top of the table was a big sign that read (I am not making this up), "VEGAN LEATHER." What the heck is vegan leather?  Leather doesn't eat.  Leather is animal skin.  How can there be such a thing as vegan leather? Calling a pleather or plastic  handbag vegan leather is like making a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
