I have no business with PETA. They don't operate that strongly over here anyway. But I do support their poster campaigns - images like that taught me a thing or two when I was younger, and shaped my morals.
I don't like the wearing of fur, I just find it primitive and repulsive.
As a vegetarian, I steer clear of leather handbags, belts, purses, etc. There is so much good quality faux leather around nowadays anyway that I don't feel I'm missing out.
Shoes are harder, particularly for winter shoes, and riding gear. It requires a lot of long shopping hours/internet trawling to find something that fits my feet and is vegan.
I saw on TV a couple of weeks ago that vinyl purses, for example, contain high levels of lead which can be absorbed into the skin. I forgot about it until just now. I've attached a link, even though it's rather off topic. I didn't read the OP's link b/c I just can't seem to read articles like that any more.

I think the ad is a good one, it makes us think and maybe move to stop the needless suffering that goes into making animals into cloths.
Peta is showing us something that is not true are they? Just the facts are brutal enough.
