Watson & Wolfe (vegan leather belts from London)

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. Crafted in Portugal using eco corn-based vegan leathers, these are designed to last years.

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. Many belts feature rectangular bucks in polished silver, and are sold in 4 sizes.

Why Choose Vegan Leather Belts?

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.

As well as not harming animals or polluting the world with tanning chemicals, these brands are also more ethical, ensuring workers are treated and paid well. Some use innovative ‘fruit leathers’ (made with apple or pineapple waste, blended with quality Microfibers).
