Votch sustainable vegan leather belts
Votch (also sold at Shop Like You Give a Damn) is a wonderful pioneering brand of vegan leather belts, founded by a woman when she was in hospital with a condition that made her skin fall off. She vowed that when she got better, she would create a leather-free fashion brand that led animals keep their skins.
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).
The range includes classic slim or chunky belts, plus bio-based bamboo braided belts, and even cowboy-style buckle belts!
If laundering nylon belts, use a microfiber filter to stop microplastics escaping the machine, and going into the sea.
Like all items at Votch, a portion of profits each month, is donated to various animal welfare non-profits.
