Back in 2004, for our very first collection, we came up with a belt design mixing hair on cowhide (pony hair) with mock croc leather. That style, going by the name of 'Weissmuller' has been with us ever since, recoloured into various incarnations, but always distinctive and edgy. This year we decided that a slight update was needed and in homage to Weissmuller (famous as an Olympic swimming champion but especially as the actor in the original Tarzan movies) this new incarnation is called 'Greystoke' (as in the Son of Tarzan...). The essence of the original design remains but has been updated with a new more fluid panel design and a sleeker tip shape. We are still using a mock croc textured leather but this time an Alligator Tail print and pairing it with tonal pony hair. The contrast of the two textures remains in our minds cool and different but by using matching tones the belt retains an elegance. The design is really sleek, a perfect partner for a variety of looks, from casual denim to dressier evening wear. You can pair this strap with a simple buckle and it will look great but should you fancy being a little more flamboyant no reason at all not to experiment with anything from a more contemporary prong style to something sculptural or crystal encrusted. An eye-catching style at all times.
