If this belt caught your eye I am thrilled as not only is the leather one of our latest innovations that we are very excited about but its pairing with our beloved octopus buckle cannot help but bring a smile to my face! Here at Elliot Rhodes we have a long history of making croc effect belts in all sorts of designs…but this is the first time we have successfully incorporated the texture into a wonderfully soft and tactile nubuck finish leather. The croc effect is as evident as ever but the warm nubuck finish really gives a soft, subtle look and feel to the belt. On this occasion of course we have had fun by pairing the belt up with our favourite octopus buckle. With its delicate shape and swirling tentacles this buckle is full of charm whilst its aged gold finish is very much in keeping with the rich espresso tone of the leather. The smooth buckle surface acts as a lovely juxtaposition to the croc texture below, in some way framing it. This is a belt that of course makes a statement but in a fun, charming way. It is a great belt that can be used for most casual or smart casual occasions, lovely for adding a layer of texture on anything from denim to wool to cotton to linen, both in winter and summer. I guarantee that this belt will turn heads whenever you wear it - always bringing a smile to the face of those who see it - a real conversation starter!
