A watch strap that starts with a pineapple harvest. Piñatex is made from pineapple leaf fibres, a by-product of the harvest, and it provides additional income for the farmers who grow the fruit. According to the brand, no extra land, pesticides or fertilisers are used to produce it. So the strap is animal-free and uses a crop by-product rather than new resources.
The look is simple: black Piñatex with a brushed gold buckle, in a 16mm width.
Key facts:
- Strap colour: Black
- Strap material: Piñatex
- Buckle colour: Brushed gold
- Strap width: 16mm
Care: Piñatex is a natural material, so it needs a little more attention than a synthetic one. To keep the strap in top condition, Votch recommends a natural wax such as clear dubbin. Leave the waxed strap in a warm place for 24 hours, then buff it with a soft cloth.

About Votch
Votch addresses the challenge conscious shoppers face in finding genuinely stylish watches that do not rely on animal-derived materials. The brand provides a focused range of timepieces, ensuring that accessories reflect personal values without compromising aesthetic appeal.
What truly distinguishes Votch is its rigorous material standard; instead of merely substituting conventional leather, the brand utilises PVC-free and phthalate-free faux leather, incorporating recycled and renewable content. This commitment significantly lowers the environmental footprint of each strap compared to most vegan leather alternatives, extending beyond just being animal-free.
Votch views material development as an ongoing process, actively researching new materials and design directions. This approach treats ethical production as a creative challenge, highlighting a commitment to continuous improvement that sets Votch apart from brands that simply make a single material swap and cease further innovation.
