Looking for a simple, affordable way to help support the Tripawds community that might even free up some space in your closet?
Donate Your Old Belts to Tripawds
One of the various ways we cover the growing costs of keeping this community online is through sales of custom jewelry, tags, charms and other and gifts in the Tripawds Etsy Store.
Have you seen some of the recycled leather wrist cuff bracelets and dog collars Rene has been making lately?
You can help this community simply by donating your unwanted leather belts. Rene can then turn them into personalized dog collars, matching wrist cuffs, and more! All proceeds help keep Tripawds online.
Please consider the following, then search your closets and drawers:
- Only plain leather belts, any color.
- No braided or stitched leather.
- No vinyl or webbing belts.
- Standard Heel Roller Buckles* only, please.
*The “Heel Roller” style is the most common buckle, which consists of a simple ring with a pin to fit into the hole on the belt.

Any questions?
Hey Rene,
Would horse leather/tack work? The pieces are usually a half inch to an inch and I think I have some curb straps with buckles.
Let me know and I’ll send what I have.

Penny that sounds cool! Can you emal me a quick photo just to be sure? Not being a horse rider I “think” I know what you’re talking about but I’m not sure. Thanks!
This is very cool, I have a ton of belts. Where do I send them?
Thanks LeeAnn! The Tripawds permanent mail forwarding address is in the post above. But please check your email for the current address where we will be for the summer…
