#199 - HELD vegan belts

my friend just opened this store called HELD VEGAN BELTS. it is located at 3033 NE alberta in the lovely alberta arts district, right next to vita cafe. let me tell you about these belts. they are made from reclaimed materials. they are way superior to leather because they do not stretch or crack. they will last forever! all the belts and wrist cuffs are handmade by my friend and his people. it is a small, local business that just started and is dedicated to sustainability and animal rights. if you live in portland, support this store!

i have been helping my friend run the store since he is recovering from surgery and it is exciting to be a part of. when i move into my new place (10/24!) i will have internet at home so i will post lots of pictures! also the store is showcasing jeremy's paintings as the inaugural art installation. i am proud of him and the paintings look awesome in the store!

there is no official store website but you can check out a couple belts here.
