{"product_id":"genuine-ostrich-quill-black-narrow-swirl-belt","title":"Genuine Ostrich Quill Black Narrow Swirl Belt","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere’s a particular kind of confidence in a belt that doesn’t need to try too hard. This one has it. It takes everything that makes a classic belt so wearable and gives it one quiet twist, enough to make people look a second time without ever tipping into showiness. If your wardrobe leans clean and modern, this is the belt that finishes it properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt starts with genuine ostrich, a leather that has never once gone out of style. The raised quills are its signature, dotted across the hide in a natural pattern that no two straps share. They sit slightly darker than the leather around them and hold a soft gleam against its more matt surface, so the strap shifts subtly in tone and shine as the light moves across it. It’s refined enough for smart dressing and relaxed enough for smart casual, which is exactly why ostrich has stayed in the wardrobes of well-dressed people for so long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe buckle is a single sweeping curve in polished silver, an open frame that arcs round and finishes in a fine, tapering tail. There’s no fuss to it at all, just one fluid line. The open centre lets the ostrich show through, so buckle and strap read as one piece, and rather than competing with the leather the shape draws the eye along it. It’s a change of pace from a traditional frame, yet it keeps everything streamlined, and if anything it makes the belt feel more elegant, not less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works well for both men and women, and it suits a sleek, pared-back way of dressing. Try it with slim black trousers and a fine-gauge merino knit, or with dark selvedge denim, a white Oxford shirt and black loafers. Over a long winter coat and a tailored trouser it adds a sharp flash of silver at the waist. On her, it’s lovely with a black jumpsuit or high-waisted wide-leg trousers and a simple silk top. Keep the rest of the look clean and let that curve be the one detail people notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inside is as considered as the outside, lined in soft nubuck so it’s as comfortable as it is good-looking. And like every belt we make, it’s handcrafted in our small Spanish atelier, by a small team who still believe the best things come from taking your time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elliot Rhodes","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":59092957528438,"sku":"E098 316A","price":610.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/3731\/4247\/files\/E098316A_1.jpg?v=1792675615","url":"https:\/\/elliotrhodes.com\/products\/genuine-ostrich-quill-black-narrow-swirl-belt","provider":"Elliot Rhodes Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
