The look and feel of genuine ostrich skin differs distinctly from the more traditional group of exotic skins. Its matte almost antique finish gives it a slightly more casual feel and the nature of the skin pattern with its distinctive quills means that there is an inevitable tonality in the skin colour, with the quills appearing darker than the smoother skin. This tonality, particularly in this dark brown colour, gives the belt a lovely rich feel and makes it ideal to pair with all sort of outfits and colours, from earth tones to navy. To keep things sleek and elegant we paired the belt up with this lovely aged gold finish buckle with its evident equestrian heritage. As such the belt lends itself well to both casual and more formal occasions and will be a really timeless addition to any wardrobe.
