Is the strap bio-leather, and can it be replaced?Updated 7 months ago

Bio-leather (ours uses corn polypropols), offers several compelling benefits over traditional animal leather, particularly in terms of environmental impact, ethical considerations, and versatility in fashion.

Cruelty-Free Production: Bio-leather avoids the use of animal products, and supports cruelty-free principles making it a vegan-friendly alternative. 

Environmental Impact: Traditional leather production has a high environmental cost, especially due to land, water, and feed for livestock and the toxic chemicals often used in tanning processes. In contrast, bio-leather is produced from renewable resources, which require fewer resources and less energy. This reduces our carbon footprint and environmental toll.

Aesthetic and Textural Similarity: Hilts Italian bio-leather is crafted to look and feel similar to genuine leather, with a durable texture that can mimic the grain and flexibility of animal hide. As a consequence, we can offer a cruelty-free option without compromising on the luxurious look and feel associated with genuine leather.
