Who Does Happy Cow Appeal Too?
Happy Cow is taking the world by storm and has thrived even in a time of global uncertainty, simply because Happy Cow offer something that looks good, makes life easier and does not hurt the planet.

Happy Cow proves that financial and environmental decisions are not necessarily opposed. We are able to provide high-quality, handmade, leather items at a fraction of the usual cost, simply by using off-cuts from large furniture manufacturers. In an era when everything is mass-produced, Happy Cow provides individual, quality pieces at affordable prices.

The Happy Cow range of Belt Bags appeals to people from many different walks of life including:
- Mothers and Fathers who have their hands-full with young children
- Travelers who need to keep their valuables secure and within reach
- Bicycle & Motorbike riders who need their hands-free whilst riding
- Music lovers who want an alternative to carrying a bag when at gigs and festivals
- Hairdressers, waiters, etc who need their hands free when working

What Makes Them 'Happy Cows'?
Noticed how Happy Cow Belt Bags are extremely affordable compared to other designer Belt Bags available on the market?
Happy Cow has extremely good contacts with furniture manufacturers. High-quality leather pieces that are too small to make furniture out of are sold to Happy Cow at discounted prices. Prior to having dealings with Happy Cow, these companies simply threw away the leather off-cuts. By reusing a waste product we are helping the environment, saving you money and avoiding unnecessary animal cruelty.

Did you know that the mass-breeding of farm animals is estimated by the United Nations to be responsible for over 20% of global warming? By not contributing to mass-breeding Happy Cow is directly helping to reduce the pressure on our fragile environment.

How can our products be handmade from leather and still so reasonably priced?
By purchasing off-cuts we greatly reduce our costs of raw materials. We still only use quality, new pieces of leather. An added bonus of using recycled leather is that each item has its own uniqueness and slight variant in color from the other pieces in the same color range.
