Our interchangeable system
Did you know all of our belts and straps can be swapped with any of our buckles? Mix and match your buckles, and chop and change the look of your belt in the blink of an eye.
All the way back in 2009 we had a fortuitous meeting with sculptress Marcela Ganly whose body of work focuses predominantly on the animal world. However, our mutual passion for belts inspired us to try and adapt her wonderful sculpting skills and our design experience to suit the rather smaller format of a belt buckle. Several months and many trips to the foundry later we came up with our first collection of Bronze, Alpaca (German Silver) & Silver Plated buckles, each one limited edition, signed and numbered. These buckles are hand cast using the traditional lost wax technique and hand finished – so no two buckles will ever look or be quite the same. This particular curled 'Bear' buckle is from our second collection, hard not to be absorbed by the detail and the way his face rises up from the surface to really bring him to life. This version is made in bronze, retaining all of the natural characteristics of the material and will be the most wonderful addition to your belt collection. You can pair it with almost any leather from classic unlined styles if you want to make it more casual, to something more detailed or textured if you want to make more of a statement piece for smarter casual or eveningwear.** Please note that these buckles are hand cast from wax and hand finished - no two buckles will ever look or be quite the same so please understand that there will likely be colour/patina variances from the image shown
How it's made |
Buckle making remains a remarkably traditional skill with most of our designs initially crafted by hand in wax before being melted away to create a mould from which we can cast your buckle. Once cast the buckle is then sent away for the galvanic process which gives it its colour and then any additional details such as enamel or crystals are applied by hand. Whether being made in Italy, France, Mexico, USA or the UK the techniques used remain the same. |

Great Style, great Quality, great online processing, despite Brexit!
Great buckle - not ostentatious, but very fine.
Is my second one. The first one has now gone a bit yellow and some of the white has worn off. It would be nice if there was a restoration service, as the actual leather is still good.
Great quality - good weight and feel to the strap, and a belt and clasp that are easy to use.
I bought this as a special gift for my son’s birthday.
It’s a work of art.
Fabulous staff, so very helpful and of course a beautiful product, thank you.

Lovely unusual belt a birthday present for my son he loves it!
The chocolate brown is mottled which lends a lot of quality to how it looks and is a great texture to the touch.
Great looking belt that makes an outfit that much more special
Easy closing and good to transfer to another ER belt of the same size.
Exactly what I wanted. I always love everything from Elliot Rhodes.
Really fabulous belt with beautiful buckle that I can use on other belts from ER that are the same width. Great service too when I made a mistake on my order.
I bought two Novak belt straps and am delighted with both. One is ivory and the other electric blue. Both are just what I wanted and look lovely with the buckles which I already have. I like the whole concept of Elliot Rhodes. I have five straps so far and have no doubt I shall buy more in the future. They are beautifully made and such a good quality. They arrive in nice packaging and the whole process is painless. Furthermore, if you have a query they are so helpful and will go out of their way to help. It is a pleasure to buy from them.
