Tired of your belts falling apart, tearing, leaving bits of plastic coating all over the place? It's time to upgrade to the real deal, a 34mm wide, single piece, hand stitched, individually dyed work of art.
What makes a quality belt?
1. 4mm thick full grain leather (not genuine leather, which is an inferior grade of leather) means that this belt will probably last as long as you will. (provided you look after it well)
2. Made with a single piece of quality leather means there is no stitching that can let go or layers that can delaminate
3. Hand stitching around the buckle means using a thicker and stronger thread than a machine can use
4. A saddle stitch is the strongest type of stitch used on leather. Even if one stitch fails the rest will hold on
5. An antique bronze finished buckle that won't break or let go. It will patina over time if touched a lot, but this is natural and adds to the character
6. Long lasting colour, using a premium spirit based dye, and a hand dip dye process ensures a deep colour penetration into the leather
7. The edges have been properly sealed and burnished (polished to bring out the natural oils and compress the fibers). This gives a shinier, more polished finish to the leather, seals it so moisture doesn't get in and stops those frayed edges you may have seen on other leather goods.
This belt ticks all the boxes.
Small, artisan production runs ensure that every belt that leaves the SA based studio is given individual quality attention. This is not, and never will, be made in a factory in China or India.

What is full grain leather?
This type of leather is used for high end, top of the line goods. It is the best quality leather available.
Full Grain Leather comes from the top layer of the hide, where there are the densest amount of fibers. The fibers are what give the leather fine grain and strength. This leather is known for its high durability and high cost, so it is used by most high end brands and leather producers. It tends to have natural flaws and colour variations, as only the hair on the hide is removed, the surface is otherwise left as is. This is the way to go for durability!
