Vôtres's pedestrian-friendly jewelry: our exceptional leathers

For Vôtres, the choice of materials is paramount. We believe that responsible animal leather remains the epitome of quality and durability: a choice justified by ecological, ethical and aesthetic arguments.

Beyond appearances: the complexity of vegan leather

Vegan leather, often presented as an eco-friendly alternative, is mostly made from polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride, petroleum derivatives. Their production, which is energy- and resource-intensive, generates greenhouse gas emissions and plastic waste that is difficult to recycle.

As an artificial material by nature, vegan leather struggles to compete with the quality and performance of natural leather. Its lack of breathability results in relative comfort; unlike animal leather, it is unable to adapt to changing weather conditions—dryness or humidity, heat or coolness. Furthermore, vegan leather does not conform with the same flexibility to the movements of our feet, thus compromising the experience of a perfect fit.

Responsible leather: an ethical and sustainable choice

Responsibly sourced animal leather is part of a circular economy approach. Sourced from livestock farming, it adds value to an existing raw material, thus avoiding waste. Tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group, a key player in the transition to a more sustainable leather industry, commit to respecting strict environmental standards: traceability of hides guaranteeing ethical and responsible origin, water and chemical management minimizing environmental impact, and waste recycling.

Beyond its ecological benefits, animal leather is distinguished by its beauty and longevity. Its patina, which improves with age, testifies to its authenticity and refinement. Unlike vegan leather, which cracks and deteriorates quickly, animal leather ages gracefully, becoming a precious heirloom.

A commitment to the future

Choosing responsibly sourced animal leather means opting for a noble, durable, and environmentally friendly material. It means supporting the agricultural sector. It means committing to a more ethical and transparent luxury. A choice that resonates with the values ​​of a modern woman, mindful of her style and her impact on the world.
