Watson & Wolfe is a premium brand of vegan leather belts and other accessories (like wallets), beautifully crafted in classic black or elegant brown, in beautiful embossed gift packaging. These belts are crafted in Portugal using innovative eco corn-based vegan leathers (no PVC) to offer sustainable and cruelty-free elegant fashion. These belts are designed to last for years, and also make the perfect ethical gift.
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.
The vegan corn leather belts use non-food grade materials and are three times more environmentally-friendly than real leather, as well as being kind to animals. Each belt has three layers: a faux nubuck, a lining and top layer of corn-based faux leather, bonded and securely stitched.
Some belts are also made from sustainable cork (no trees are cut down, they are simply tapped every few years to strip the bark, for a natural vegan leather). Keeping the cork industry alive in a world of plastic wine corks, is a great way to preserve forests and native wildlife in the Mediterranean. Many belts feature rectangular bucks in polished silver, and are sold in 4 sizes.
You can also buy nice vegan leather belts (in zero waste packaging) from Will’s Vegan Shoes (also for women).
