Inspired by the traditional Fanny Packs and Bum Bags, Happy Cow brings you a range of fashionable and practical; Leather Belts, Belt Bags, Waist Packs, Purse Belts, Travel Money Belts & much more! Each of our products is designed so that you can keep your hands-free for other things besides carrying a bag.

Made from Recycled Leather. How do we do it? We only source our leather from leather furniture manufacturers. This means less pressure on our environment as the mas-breeding of farm animals accounts for over 20% of global warming!

Recycled belts are fashioned together with waterbased glue and reconstituted leather for a chic, woodgrain finish like mat.  Reduces waste, recycles and creates a totally awesome home decor item.

Katleen Baum and her twin sister Liesbet run georgette, an online and real world shop in Antwerp which specialises in animal friendly footwear. The website is a delight. Handily written in English, you navigate with a flea circus and clicking on a link can give you a nice surprise. Oh, and the shoes are great too. Here Katleen spoke to Life Goggles about reconciling veganism with wearing leather.

A good old dilemma about leather - is it ecologically sound, is it ethically sound? Help!

WWF today called on celebrities not to promote luxury brands following the launch of a new report which ranks the top 10 luxury brands by their environmental, social and governance records.

The conservation group found leather goods manufacturer Tods, Italian jeweller Bulgari, Cartier owner Richemont, and PPR, which owns Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Stella McCartney among the worst performers.
