As ever when a new season is upon us we look to innovate and experiment. We have always liked mixing different textures of leather together and love the handcrafted feel it gives to the belts. This new Belafonte design brings a fluid swirl like flow to the belt with waves of dadino textured leather overlaid onto a smoother cordovan leather surface. We created a new tip shape that is a little sharper and more contemporary and lends itself well to the swirl design at the tip. The resulting belt is one that is crisp and innovative, showing lovely hand workmanship and real attention to detail. For us the design itself is strong enough that our resulting buckle choice is naturally more low key - we selected this satin gunmetal finish buckle with its soft edges to tone in with the belt colour and keep the focus firmly on the belt detailing. This is a belt that could be worn casually but will be especially good with smarter casual wear/eveningwear for a sleek contemporary look that will really show how much of a belt connoisseur you are.
