Qualities of Leather - Longevity and Durability

This authentic leather belt dates back to the 1940s. By Francis Tsang on LinkedIn.


Leather is renowned for its durability and longevity, making it a popular choice for belts and other accessories. Vegans often seek alternatives that minimize animal products, but some materials may not match leather’s durability.


While these vegan options may not always match leather in terms of durability, they offer ethical choices for consumers looking to avoid animal products. The trade-off typically involves weighing sustainability and ethics against the longevity and traditional appeal of leather.
