The Problem with PU "Vegan" Belts
Many people turn to vegan leather belts to avoid animal cruelty, but unfortunately, not all "vegan" materials are created equal. The most common alternative, PU (polyurethane), is cheap, low-quality, and prone to cracking and peeling — often within months.
If you’ve ever bought a PU belt and been disappointed, you’re not alone.
Why Microfiber Vegan Leather Is a Game Changer
At Doshi, we went on a mission to find a better solution — and that led us to microfiber-based vegan leather.
What is Microfiber Vegan Leather?
Microfiber leather is a high-quality, synthetic material made from tightly woven microfiber bundles that replicate the structure of natural leather. It’s:
-
Significantly more durable than PU
-
Supple and soft to the touch
-
Scratch-resistant and water-repellent
-
Long-lasting and won’t peel or crack
💡 Fun fact: Microfiber is often used in high-end car interiors and designer bags due to its durability and feel.
Real Comparison: Microfiber vs PU Belt
The image above shows a Doshi Microfiber Belt next to a PU belt after just a few months of wear. The difference is night and day.
-
PU belts often peel, flake, and break at stress points.
-
Doshi belts are crafted to last, even with daily use.
When you’re investing in a belt — especially one you’ll wear to work or formal events — you deserve something that lasts.
Ethical AND Built to Last
Our goal isn’t just to make vegan belts. It’s to make vegan belts that are better than leather. That means:
-
Cruelty-free and animal-free
-
Ethically produced with responsible factories
-
No harmful PVCs or questionable chemicals
-
Designed with classic, timeless style
And yes — even our buckles are better. We use stainless steel or brass, not low-quality zinc alloy.
A Word from Our Founder
“Back in the early 2000s, I searched everywhere for a vegan dress belt. But everything I bought cracked and fell apart. That’s why I started Doshi — because I believe we can make cruelty-free accessories that meet or beat the quality of leather.”
— Paras Doshi, Founder
