Hurtig Lane (vegan watches from Barcelona)

Hurtig Lane (also sold at Shop Like You Give a Damn) is a brand of beautiful vegan leather watches from the city of Barcelona in Spain. You can also buy straps. In many styles (from neutrals to pretty pinks), some are made from innovative materials like cactus leather!

Regularly clean the head and strap with mild soapy warm water and a soft brush, and dry thoroughly. Store in the box it’s sold in, to prevent scratches. And remove when bathing, swimming or in saunas.

Recycle watch batteries (choking hazards) at jewellery shops. 

Send broken watches and straps (along with odd earrings, broken jewellery and any-currency bank notes) freepost to Animal Free Research UK. Or War Paws (to help animals in war zones).

The range includes pretty watches for women, and more chunky watches for men. Plus there are watches made from innovative vegan cactus leathers to ones with more traditional ‘brown leather’ colours.
