Durable Style Since 2008
Held Vegan Belts, made from repurposed industrial belting and recycled belt buckles, were introduced in late 2007 at public marketplaces. Within a year, the brand was formed and operating full time.
Handmade, Affordable, Cruelty Free, and American Autochthonous
The pace of fast fashion is simply not one that this brand has ever tried to keep up with. Held Gear products are prepared and assembled by hand from its domestic studio, materials are selectively curated to maximize American origin, and are never derived from animals.
About Us
Founder and Follower:
Held Gear was founded by Micah Perry, a vegan anarchist activist, and followed by (myself) Sean Ongley, an iconoclast contrarian. Corporate cultural systems and ideals do not identify with us. Or is that the other way around? Both of us reside in Arizona and continue to learn from each other. Held Gear is the registered DBA of THRU LLC, owned by Sean.
