Greetings, and welcome! These belts allow for infinite adjustability, so they will ALWAYS fit you!

We have been working on our cactus collection of accessories since 2020. After we perfected the design we had some brave belt testers wear our belts for just over one year.

 Our stylish collection of accessories are:

• Crafted using high quality materials – the shape, texture and colour will last a lifetime
• Eco friendly, sustainable and made in Canada
• Nickel-free metal 
• Micro adjustable, meaning you can adjust them just 1mm or 1/32″

We have a dream to bring our new collection of cactus accessories to life. The collection is simple: 2 BELTS & 1 WALLET made from new CACTUS TECHNOLOGY.

The material is ground breaking: compared to leather or other faux leathers, it uses hardly any water. And, the cacti plants absorb 500% more carbon dioxide out of the air compared to the animal agriculture industry.

The top and bottom layers of the belts are made from cactus. The inside layer is made from recycled car tires.  The buckles are nickel-free and have micro-adjustability.

The biggest issues with other belts

You’ve probably had some issue with belts in the past. Taking people’s issues into consideration, we came up with belts that solve all of your issues. The number one complaint that people have shared with us, is that their belt cracks at the holes. We’ve taken EVERYTHING into consideration when designing our new cactus belts. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

Meet CACTIRE collection

Here are the two belts you get to choose from: the CAZ and the NOPALINI. One is a bit more casual and the other is a bit more dressy.  The slim wallet is practical and oh, so cool looking! It’s hard to believe these belts are made from cactus!

We call this collection the CACTIRE

We started working on this project in 2020. The samples have been perfected and tested and we are ready for production. All that is left to do is order the minimum order quantities of the raw materials. We need your help to bring this project to life! 

By pre-ordering today you get a wonderful discount and will be one of the first people to own a belt made from cactus/recycled rubber. When this Kickstarter campaign is over and successfully funded, we will proceed to order the raw materials and manufacturing will begin in Canada. 🇨🇦

 Why the buckle is so amazing!!

Holes. There are no holes in the strap. Our nickel-free buckles allow for infinite adjustability. They hold the strap in place with pressure. You can adjust these belts just 1mm or 1/32″! So whether the last 2 years of lock down have turned you into a chunk or a hunk or a monk… this belt will always fit you!

The ratchet belts have been the rage for many years now. However, the pressure buckle belts have taken center stage with their infinite adjustability feature!

What exactly is cactus material?

The cactus material is the newest, most innovative material on the market. The material was developed in Mexico by a company called Desserto.  The material was first showcased in October  2019 in Milan, Italy. They have been winning awards for this material! It’s being used in upholstery for furniture and cars, handbags, shoes and now belts!

Cacti requires hardly any water to grow. And, cacti can grow in the most infertile soil conditions where no other plants can. 

The specific type of cactus used is called the Nopal cactus, otherwise known as the “Prickly Pear”. But don’t worry… our belts are not at all prickly!

Nowadays climate change is one of the biggest challenges that humanity has to face, in the future prolonged droughts, deforestation and increased population. 

The Nopal is capable of growing on land where other crops cannot. Cacti can be used for the restoration of degraded land in many countries, it is the only crop which can be trust where all the others have failed. This plant by its own right should be among the miracles of nature. The cultivation of Nopal was originated in Mexico which is still the main producer and consumer in the world.

We are honoured to be using this material in our belts and wallet! 🌵 =  💪🏼

Now here comes a bunch of images! The cactus belts can be worn with many different types of outfits. And, they look great!

Product reviews

We’ve had some brave “belt testers” wear our belts as far back as April of 2021, to ensure we nailed the quality. One of our ‘belt testers’ recorded the video below.  He had been wearing the CAZ (casual) belt  almost every day for 13 months.

Thanks for checking out our Kickstarter!

Thank you for helping us bring this project out into the world by pre-ordering (funding) a belt and/or wallet. Your credit card will be charged only after this Kickstarter is over and successfully funded.

The bottom line is this – the cactus material comes from the cactus plant. Only the mature leaves are cut off and will GROW BACK! Cacti need hardly any water to grow. Knowing that, I feel very passionate that products using this amazing material are the way of the future.

Please share this Kickstarter with everyone you know who wears pants!

Sincerely,

Renia Pruchnicki
