Watson & Wolfe (luxury vegan leather belts)

Watson & Wolfe (London) makes premium vegan leather belts, made with luxury eco materials like non-food-grade corn, sold in luxury gift packaging. Offered in classic black or elegant dark brown, these are made ethically in Portugal, designed to last years.

These belts have three layers a faux nubuck, a lining and top layer), all bonded and securely stitched. Many feature rectangular buckles in polished silver (sold in four sizes).

Donate unwanted belts to small charity shops (that don’t test on animals). Frayed or stained ones can be deposited in textile banks (materials are shredded to make insulation and other industrial goods). 

Why choose vegan leather belts?

Although women wear less belts, nearly all men wear belts with their trousers. And this means a huge amount of animals suffer, if they are made from leather.

Most leather is not a by-product of meat, and often made in the far east, where animal welfare laws are lax. And the tanning process is highly polluting to the planet, and can be cancerous for workers.

The brand also makes nice wallets and purses, again designed to last for years and with many features. Sold in luxury eco gift packaging with optional initial engraving. Not just in brown and black, but bright colours like red.
