Well, if you are a horse enthusiast you've probably already fallen in love with this belt. But if you are not, let me tell you why you should be — because you don't need to be an equestrian or brought up in the wild west to rock a belt like this.The buckle is one of a kind — a limited edition bronze oval by our friend and collaborator, the Argentine sculptor Marcela Gancly, whose work focuses predominantly on the animal world. It was our mutual passion for extraordinary accessories that first led us to explore whether her sculptural talent could be adapted to the intimate format of a belt buckle. Several months and many trips to the foundry later, our collaboration was born — each piece signed, numbered and limited to just 100. The frolicking horses buckle is everything that collaboration stands for: two horses rendered in raw, expressive bronze, cast with a freedom and energy that feels entirely alive. The hammered oval ground gives it the quality of something ancient and found — a Roman coin, a sculptor's first maquette. It is simultaneously rustic and refined, and entirely unlike anything else.Against the Golden Rust python it is simply magnetic. The warm amber and burnt sienna of the skin, that iridescent shimmer cycling through the dramatic raised scales, the whole strap alive with tonal movement — and sitting at its centre, this glowing bronze oval with its two horses caught mid-motion. Warm gold on warm skin. The western reference is there, but the python pulls it clean out of the countryside and straight into the city. This is not a ranch belt. This is a belt for someone with real style and the confidence to wear it anywhere.This belt works beautifully for both men and women. With dark denim and a simple shirt it is the whole conversation. With tailored separates it brings an unexpected edge that makes the outfit. For those who want to wear something with a genuine story behind it — art, craft, friendship, and an Argentine foundry — this is it.This is not just a belt. Each buckle is one of only 100 in the world, individually signed and numbered. When they are gone, they are gone — and a combination this good will not hang around.These belts are made in our small Spanish atelier, where the art of working with exotic skins has been refined over generations. It is a discipline entirely its own — demanding a level of skill and patience that only comes with years of dedicated practice.A note on our exotic skins: all python used by Elliot Rhodes is sustainably sourced, imported and certified under CITES — the Washington Convention for the Protection of Species. Please note that python skin belts cannot be shipped outside of the UK due to permit requirements. If you are based outside the UK and are interested in this product, please contact us and we will do our best to help.
