Accessories report: Ethical leather? Why yes indeed.

Any fashionable person knows that a fall wardrobe is incomplete without a few belts and cuffs. Though leather is best, it can be hard to stomach the carnage just for accessorizing purposes. That’s why we are loving Canadian-based Brave Leather products for the upcoming season. The company was founded by belt-maker Scott Irvine who wanted a more ethical approach to leather accouterments. And while all the products are genuine hides, no creatures are killed solely for their skins. All the materials are reclaimed from animals used in the food industry. Additionally, all of Brave Leather’s products are handmade in Canada using dyes derived from plant and vegetable extracts.

The accessories range in design from patent black to glossy brown to studded white. Men’s and women’s belts retail between $55-165 and cuffs between $50-75. Jennifer Aniston is a fan of the Emryk belt ($80) while Vanessa Hudgens enjoys the Callista belt ($120). The company gives names to all their products using baby name books from around the globe to add a “personality” to each piece. Zarina, Sirena, and Elsia are just some of the names we are bookmarking for future use.
