Finding vegan alternatives to every single clothing and accessory in our wardrobe is not an easy task. However, some are easier than others.
Even though a “belt” might be the last thing you think of, it’s one of the quickest adjustments you can make in your wardrobe. And frankly, we don’t need that many belts.
Plus, they’re by far the most affordable accessory out of the existing ones.
In this blog post, I’ve compiled a list of belts for men and women. Both functional and fashionable, and certainly ones that leave animals out of the equation.
This being said, I want to say I don’t consider these to be “100% vegan” options. Why? Some of the suggestions I make include nylon and faux leather belts — which are not sustainable options. And the only reason I’m mentioning them is that they’re still better than promoting the slaughter and skinning of animals.
Here are the best vegan-friendly options I’ve found.
Belts Made From Cork
Corkor is a Portuguese brand that sells 100% vegan accessories.
They have a diverse collection of bags, wallets, belts and even keychains — all made from cork. The cork itself is sustainably harvested in Portugal, where the products also happen to be produced by a team of local, Portuguese artisans.
The reason I love this brand is that they fully represent the scope of principles any vegan attempts to implement in his/her life when making buying decisions.
No animal cruelty, it’s sustainable and 100% ethical.
Cork Belt (Suitable For Women)
This Women’s Cork Belt is crafted from smooth brown cork harvested from sustainable cork oak in the countryside of Portugal.
The belt itself is clean, slim and versatile; and it comes with a silver-tone Italian buckle that gives you an accentuated look that fits perfectly with any casual and classic apparel.
Pair that with the FSC® certified cork and you have a belt that will last you years without cracking or crumbling.
Cork Belt (Suitable For Men)
The Men’s Cork Belt is another cork-made masterpiece by Corkor.
It’s available in both black and brown colored cork, which allows you to choose what fits better with your wardrobe. Or you can pick both and use them interchangeably with darker and lighter clothes.
This belt blends well with casual, classic or formal looks. The Italian silvertone buckle adds a pinch of elegance to this belt — while keeping it within the realms of perfect business attire.
It’s clean, sober… an overall great choice for men who love to keep things simple.
Belts Made From Faux Leather
Faux leather is not as sustainable as cork, but it’s a strong al
