Look Good, Feel Good, Do Good - Sustainable Luxury.
At Robert Charles, our mission is the creation of quality fashion accessories, with a recognizable style exclusively Made in Italy. Thanks to the collaboration with the best artisans and Italian excellence in manufacturing, leather tanning and fabric spinning, we have developed collections that reflect these values. Each material is carefully chosen and selected according to quality, style and environmental sustainability criteria.
In terms of social and environmental impact, we recognize that we are both a part of the problem and the solution. While we know there's still much work ahead of us, we believe that every step, no matter how small, can contribute to meaningful change. As part of our ongoing commitment, we are continuously exploring innovative practices and sustainable solutions to minimize our footprint while upholding the high standards that define Robert Charles.
So why Robert Charles?
Good for Your Skin, Good for the Earth: Natural leather can breathe, adapt to your body, and feel gentle on your skin making it more comfortable to wear. Unlike synthetic materials, natural fibers not only have a luxurious feel but are also biodegradable, breaking down over time to leave a minimal environmental footprint. Every piece is designed to be sustainable, soft, and durable, crafted using vegetable or mineral-free tanning whenever possible to further reduce environmental impact.
Timeless Craftsmanship: Natural leather ages beautifully, making each belt more unique with every wear. These are the accessories that get better with time - just like you.
Longevity and Sustainability: When you choose quality products that last, you’re also doing your part for the planet by reducing waste and minimizing the need for frequent replacements. Our belts are made from premium materials with expert craftsmanship, helping you make a lasting, positive impact on the environment.
Sustainable Luxury: Our belts are crafted from sustainable leather responsibly sourced from industries that prioritize eco-friendly practices. By using leather in this way, we reduce waste and deliver eco-conscious fashion without compromise, supporting ethical practices that respect the environment.
Lower Carbon footprint. We are committed to researching and using an Italian production chain with a low environmental impact. Additionally, our fabrics, worked in the in the world-class silk district of Como, are woven with cutting-edge technologies that save water and CO2 emissions during the processing.
Join us in building a more sustainable future - one where the fashion industry doesn’t just follow trends but sets a new standard for ethical design and practises. Our belts are more than just accessories; they’re a statement of conscious living.
Why Natural Materials Are a Better Long-Term Solution
Health benefits: Natural fibers are often gentler on the skin and don’t contain chemicals or plastics that can irritate or harm the body. They also have breathability, which helps regulate temperature and moisture.
Biodegradability: Unlike plastic and recycled plastic that persist in the environment for decades and contributes to landfill waste, natural fibers like cotton, silk and leather are biodegradable, meaning they break down naturally over time without contributing to plastic pollution.
Microplastic pollution - Shedding microplastics: Even recycled plastic materials shed tiny plastic fibers, a process known as microplastic pollution. These microfibers enter the environment and ultimately end up in the food chain.
