Votch (sustainable vegan leather belts)

Votch is a company known for making quality vegan watches, and has now branched into making other accessories like belts. Each month, a portion of profits goes to a different animal charity.

Many are made from eco materials like recycled nylon and bamboo, and there are a wide variety of colours and styles, including braided belts.

Why Choose Vegan Leather Belts?

Leather is not a by-product of the meat industry. Most leather goods are made in the Far East, an area with little or no animal welfare laws, and not good human rights welfare either. It takes 17,000 litres of fresh water to make 1kg of leather, with 80% tanned with chrome that is toxic to tannery workers.

As well as not harming animals or polluting the world with tanning chemicals, these brands are also more ethical, ensuring workers are treated and paid well. Some use innovative ‘fruit leathers’ (made with apple or pineapple waste, blended with quality Microfibers).
