Vegan Leather Belt

This corset belt is a material innovation, crafted from a custom vegan leather made of orange peels, sodium alginate, coconut oil, water, and wool fibers — a sustainable blend developed through hands-on experimentation in bio-based design. The result is a textured, pliable material that reimagines waste as a wearable form. The piece is laced with a leather cord repurposed from a previous project, reinforcing its commitment to circularity. More than an accessory, this belt represents a step toward redefining fashion through eco-conscious craftsmanship and material exploration. Click here to see how I made the vegan leather.
