The Vegan America Marketplace Daily Update🌱

Let’s talk about something that’s likely sitting in your closet right now: a belt. It may seem like a small accessory, but it’s one of the most common items in our wardrobes—used for fashion, function, and everything in between. But have you ever stopped to think about what your belt is made of?

Most conventional belts are made from animal leather. That means every time we wear one, we may be unknowingly supporting industries tied to animal cruelty, deforestation, and significant carbon emissions. The leather industry, often glamorized as “natural,” is actually one of the most resource-intensive in the world. From toxic tanning chemicals to massive water use, the impact of a single belt can go much further than you’d expect.

And let’s not forget the animals. Leather is not a by-product of the meat industry—it’s a co-product, meaning animals are killed specifically for both. Choosing plant-based belts isn’t just a personal fashion decision—it’s a stand for a more ethical and sustainable world.

That’s why we’ve done the hard work for you. At Vegan America, we’ve curated a stylish, high-quality selection of 100% vegan and cruelty-free belts. Whether you’re looking for a classic black strap, a statement piece, or something rugged and durable, we’ve got you covered. These belts are made from innovative materials like cork, recycled rubber, Piñatex (pineapple leather), and high-quality vegan microfibers—designed to last and look great doing it.

Belts may be a small piece of the wardrobe puzzle, but making mindful choices in the small things adds up. So next time you reach for yours, ask: is this aligned with the world I want to create?

Browse the full collection now on our website—and as always, thank you for choosing compassion, style, and sustainability.
