Ryofire Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 http://studsandspikes.com/buy/wristbandsbracelets-c-72.html I'm really hoping that these certain type of wristbands will have leather on the inside. There's a store (not related to the link above) here in the greater Boston area that sells spiked wristbands that are vinyl on the outisde, but leather on the inside. I know vinyl (PVC) is not eco friendly, but at least it's animal friendly. However either way when if I were to purchase the ones at the store here in the greater Boston area, it's really bad. It's like not only am I supporting animal torture, but enviornmental torture too. So I'm curious does anyone know if this link above is for real? Also does anyone know of a good place where I can purchase spiked vegan wristbands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcina Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 No matter what you do, you're doing damage to the environment and killing animals. Right now, plunking away at your keyboard for example. Animals get zapped at electricity plants/dams all the time. Personally, I haven't worn a spiked wristband since high school.. But most synthetic stuff is going to be made from things that aren't environmentally friendly. You could always buy them from a second hand store.

This is true, but in the JLA/Avengers series, Superman said, "Captain, whether we fear we do too much or not enough," and Captain America finished, "we keep trying." Good words to live by. I'll try to contact them sometime before ordering them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 HELD Vegan Belts in Portland, OR has vegan spiked wrist bands I'm pretty sure....I was there today. Google search them and see what you can find. They are super cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple_mog Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 very pretty site I think if you want that kind of stuff (as I also do) you are rather restricted in the sense of the vegan-options aren't hugely enviro friendly, but I'd rather opt for that than leather. I do have a couple of friends who will buy stuff like that when its second hand or unwanted - not sure I'd be okay with that option myself though. If you do opt for PVC, rubber, latex type stuff definitely make sure there is a nice soft lining on the inside if its for longer term wear! (thus speaks the voice of experience, silly Mog!)

Ryofire Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 I actually contacted them through email and they said that they are 100% vegan. So problem solved I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
