Solari Milano (vegan leather belts from Italy)

Solari Milano (Italy) again makes luxury eco-vegan-leather belts, often making use of cork. These are handcrafted in beautiful Florence, bonded and stitched for durabilitiy.

Again these belts have three layers (a base and top faux leather material, with a microfiber lining). And feature silver buckles.

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). 

Many people wear belts, whether it’s to hold their jeans up or to finish off a smart look with a suit and tie. But  rather than choosing brands made from leather (often made in countries with poor animal welfare laws) or plastic (supports the oil industry and contributes to pollution and climate change), choose ones made from cork or sustainable vegan leathers.
