Best Vegan Watch Straps for Women
While the majority of our straps are unisex, the recommended vegan watch straps below are just perfect for women, suiting all types of lifestyles, looks and watch designs.
Apple skin/PU vegan leather watch strap
Utilising a groundbreaking apple skin and PU formulation to create that classic leather look, these watch straps have all the benefits of leather. Plus, they’re available in muted and striking colours so they’ll sit perfectly alongside most outfits. Our favourite shades are the bright blue, the rich burgundy and of course the timeless black. We’d recommend these watch straps for a slimmer watch as opposed to a chunkier design.
Piñatex watch strap
These textured watch straps are truly something to behold. Waste pineapple leaves are used during the manufacturing process, giving them a really unusual look and texture that’s sure to be a talking point and making them one of the most unique watch straps in our collection.
Lorica watch strap
While this material was originally developed for Japanese fishermen, there’s no reason you can’t take advantage of this watch strap design being a hardy and durable leather alternative. Its look emulates that of a dateless textured leather watch strap. We love it in blue and the water resistant vegan leather means that it’s perfect for day-to-day wear as well as trips to the gym.
Stainless steel fine mesh watch strap
Understated elegance is achieved in this design by using a fine stainless steel mesh for its construction. While they look delicate, don’t be fooled – this metal watch straps is both durable and easy to maintain. Mesh watch straps have the added bonus of being well suited to accessorising both casual and formal outfits. Plus, they’re available in gold and rose gold if you’re looking to add a touch of glamour.
Best Vegan Watch Straps for Men
Our selection of vegan watch straps for men has a great variety of materials to choose from, so just because the materials are animal-friendly doesn’t mean your choices are limited.
Cork watch strap
Not only is cork our most sustainable watch strap material, it also has tons of personality. Cork has a unique texture that means no two watch straps look the same, regardless of colour or size. The asymmetric flecks are highlighted on the watch strap, creating a patterned vegan leather that really is outstanding. We love all of the colourways but our favourites are the natural tan, burgundy and blue where the appeal of cork stands out.
Ribbed NATO watch strap
Nylon is a traditional watch strap material that has the added characteristic of being vegan. Generally, nylon watch straps are durable, easy to clean and lightweight, and this ribbed NATO strap is no different. Available in a palette of quintessential NATO watch strap colours, our favourites are the green and the grey.
Stainless steel mesh watch strap
Chunkier than its fine mesh counterpart, our heavier stainless steel mesh watch strap looks great alongside smart dress watches as well as classic timepieces. Mesh watch straps are a great option for summer days, remaining comfortable against the skin and being easy to wipe and keep clean. This strap is available in black and rose gold, as well as traditional silver or gold.
Stitched silicone watch strap
The number one choice for the active lifestyle, this silicone strap is perforated with detailed stitching to complete that racing watch look with colours to match dials or as a more understated plain strap. It has also been treated to be dustproof and is durable. Silicone watch straps are incredibly easy to clean and flexible which makes them well suited to watches that are worn for sports or outdoor activities.
Best Value Vegan Watch Straps
Our best value vegan watch straps are constructed using a range of materials, from silicone to nylon and are an ideal final touch for a much-loved watch.
NATO watch strap
With military origins, the NATO strap is simplicity at its finest. Not only is this watch strap light and breathable, it's easy to fit too. A NATO strap is a comfortable watch strap choice and its minimalist styling pairs well with sports watches. Nylon is a material that is ideal for summer because of its light weight and by being one of the easiest watch strap materials to clean.
Plasma-treated dustproof silicone watch strap
A watch strap that’s perfect for the gym or hot weather, it's plasma treated to be dustproof and amazingly easy to clean. Just a quick wipe and it’s as good as new. Available in a selection of colours that are typical sports watch colours - they can make your favourite watch stand out as well as complement details on your watch's dial. We love them all but our customer favourites are the electric blue and the zesty orange.
