Are you looking for durable, high-quality vegan belts? Look no further; we’ve rounded up five of the best vegan belts of 2023.
WHAT ARE VEGAN BELTS MADE FROM?
First, let’s go over what vegan belts are made from. A wide variety of materials are used to make vegan belts. Below, you’ll find some of the more popular materials used.
- Paper: Kraft Paper is strong. Due to uts reduced lignin content and high sulfur ratio. Belts made from this material are incredibly light and thin. Additionally, they’re 100% recyclable and use otherwise discarded materials to create new products.
- Pinatex (pineapple leather): Pinatex, also known as pineapple leather, is a semi-synthetic or artificial leather made from pineapple waste. It’s a great option because it offers an ethical alternative to genuine leather.
- Microfiber: PU or Polyurethane is a very popular type of vegan leather. Polyurethane is synthetic, but it can look very similar to genuine leather. PU is a valid choice because it‘s more sustainable.
- Cork: Cork leather is made from the bark of Cork Oak trees. When harvested properly, removing the bark will not hurt the tree. In fact, proper removal of the bark is actually beneficial for the tree because it extends its life and promotes regeneration. Cork is a natural product that can be easily recycled.
The Best Vegan Belts of 2023
With styles for everyone, here are the best vegan belts of 2023, in no particular order.
DOSHI POLISHED GUNMETAL BELT
The Doshi Polished Gunmetal Belt is simple and clean-looking. It combines durable microfiber with a gently detailed, polished gunmetal buckle. Most men prefer simplicity, and this belt is just perfect for that. Gunmetal is darker than silver, allowing it to blend in more while still catching the light. It gives the belt a unique touch without being too showy. This is a great belt for the office!
DOSHI PROFESSIONAL 2 - POLISHED CHROME VEGAN BELT

DOSHI CLASSIC FORMAL VEGAN BELT
The Doshi Classic Formal Belt is for those who want the old classic look of pebbled leather without harming the animal. The material on these belts matches the material found on our Classic Bifold Pebbled wallets. This belt is also part of our new 5.0 line where each belt is between 4.8 mm and 5.2 mm thick. That's anywhere between 10% and 25% thicker than our previous belts. This thickness gives the belts what we think is the perfect heft without being overbearing. We're confident you'll like the way it feels.

DOSHI ORIGINAL CASUAL SS VEGAN BELT
The Doshi Original Casual SS 5.0 Vegan Belt is the perfect belt to wear with jeans and so we picked a classic stainless steel buckle, found a particularly durable microfiber, and paired the two. Some might call this belt OG. This belt is also part of our new 5.0 line where each belt is between 4.8 mm and 5.2 mm thick. That's anywhere between 10% and 25% thicker than our previous belts. This thickness gives the belts what we think is the perfect heft without being overbearing. We're confident you'll like the way it feels.
