Vegan Luxury Band... Environmentally Friendly

Any particular reason why Whoop did not release a premium vegan-leather option for a band? It seems like whoop is trying to be environmentally conscious and leather products definitely are not that good for the environment. Are there any plans to release a synthetic (cactus leather would be cool) leather band in the near future?

Sounds good. Thank you for your response!

I’d be interested in a waxed canvas outdoors version w brushed hardware - maybe a limited run Filson/Orvis/Barbour/Cabelas co-branding opportunity?

Burled mushroom leather would be unique, vegan-friendly, and cooler than any comp fitness products. The leather MG strap I initially mistook for vegan leather as it was a bit plastic looking until the artificial shiny protective finish was cleaned off, and the matte leather grain restored underneath.

That’d be pretty cool… a canvas option/strap. Could be marked towards outdoor enthusiasts :person_shrugging:

love the idea, even though Whoop’s pricing is usually out of my budget :smiling_face_with_tear:

A neutral casual linen, as found on many high-end luxury watch brands, backed with the synthetic leather (of the leather strap) would be a nice daily office-casual look, without the animal components.
