{"product_id":"novak-narrow-dark-brown-mottled-bridle-belt","title":"Novak Narrow Dark Brown Mottled Bridle Belt","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNovak is the name of this design, and it pays homage to the elegant style of its namesake — Kim Novak, one of the great screen goddesses of 1950s Hollywood, best remembered for her role opposite Jimmy Stewart in Hitchcock's Vertigo. It's a belt that would have suited either of them equally well, which tells you something about the kind of understated glamour we were chasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe leather is new for us — a tumbled texture that brings just a hint of natural character to what is otherwise a very elegant surface. We've made this belt with a deliberately thinner construction, so it feels genuinely lightweight and moulds easily to the body rather than sitting stiff. In this bitter choc tone, it becomes an ideal companion for a host of other colours, from earthy tones through to navy, and it's a natural fit for whites and linens once summer arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis time the buckle does rather more of the talking: aged gold, taking its shape from equestrian stirrup design — an open, oval-into-rectangle frame that lets the leather show through its centre rather than covering it. It's a genuinely sleek, contemporary take on a very traditional silhouette, and it turns the belt into something with real presence rather than simply a finishing touch. Not only is the upper leather full grain quality, the lining is too, so that same integrity runs all the way through the belt rather than stopping at the surface. Every belt is still handcrafted in our small Spanish atelier, where a small team takes the time needed to get these details right rather than rushing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 30mm this belt is narrow enough to work formally, so a suit is well within its range, while the softness of the leather keeps it just as easy to wear day to day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elliot Rhodes","offers":[{"title":"Bitter Choc","offer_id":58091736138102,"sku":"T811 380F","price":165.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/3731\/4247\/files\/T811380F_1.jpg?v=1783426066","url":"https:\/\/elliotrhodes.com\/products\/novak-narrow-dark-brown-mottled-bridle-belt","provider":"Elliot Rhodes Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
