{"product_id":"genuine-ostrich-quill-black-narrow-palm-leaf-belt","title":"Genuine Ostrich Quill Black Narrow Palm Leaf Belt","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery so often a belt comes along that feels like a holiday you can wear. This is one of them. Fasten it and you get a small hit of sunshine every time you catch it in the mirror, the kind of piece that lifts an outfit and lifts your mood with it. It’s playful, but it’s built on one of the most refined leathers there is, and that combination is exactly why it’s worth owning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strap is genuine ostrich, and the quills are what make it. Those small raised points, each one where a feather once grew, are scattered across the hide in a pattern no other strap will ever repeat. They sit a touch darker and carry a soft sheen against the more matt leather around them, so the surface has a gentle play of light and shadow as you move. Ostrich has been a mark of quiet good taste for generations and it isn’t going anywhere: timeless, and as happy with smart dressing as it is with smart casual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen there’s the buckle. A sculptural palm leaf in a special silver, pewter like finish, every frond curving and lifting as if it’s just caught a sea breeze. The cut-outs between the fronds let the dark ostrich show through, so the leaf seems to float on the strap rather than sit on it. It’s light, airy and full of movement, with a softness to its lines that leans feminine without belonging to anyone in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of it as summer whatever the season. It’s lovely with a linen dress, worn at the waist to give shape, or with wide-leg cream trousers and a simple white tee. Through the cooler months it brings a breath of warmth to a black knit and tailored trousers, or slots through the loops of dark denim with a crisp shirt tucked in. And for the man who wants something with a little more personality, it’s a confident finishing touch with an open-collar shirt and light chinos on a summer evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inside is as considered as the outside, lined in soft nubuck so it feels as good as it looks. Like every belt we make, it’s handcrafted in our small Spanish atelier, where each one is cut, stitched and finished by hand by people who would rather take their time than get it nearly right.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elliot Rhodes","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":59092957593974,"sku":"E098 382F","price":620.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/3731\/4247\/files\/E098382F_1.jpg?v=1792675832","url":"https:\/\/elliotrhodes.com\/products\/genuine-ostrich-quill-black-narrow-palm-leaf-belt","provider":"Elliot Rhodes Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
