Shell Encrusted Slithering Crocodile Buckle 40mm

All the way back in 2009 we had a fortuitous meeting with sculptress Marcela Ganly, whose body of work focuses predominantly on the animal world. Our mutual passion for belts inspired us to explore whether her extraordinary sculptural talent — and our design experience — could be adapted to the smaller, more intricate format of a belt buckle. Several months and many trips to the foundry later, we unveiled our first collection of bronze and Silver Plated buckles, each one a limited‑edition piece, signed and numbered. This collaboration laid the foundation for a series of sculptural designs that continue to define our most characterful creations today. This Limited Edition Shell Encrusted Slithering Crocodile buckle is a bold, tactile continuation of that sculptural heritage — a beautifully detailed crocodile captured mid‑movement, its body twisting with lifelike fluidity. The reptile’s textured scales are rendered with remarkable precision, while the back is adorned with a mosaic of shell inlays in soft greens, greys, and creams. This iridescent patterning adds depth and contrast, giving the buckle a distinctive, almost jewel‑like quality. The Aged Silver finish enhances the interplay between the reptile’s raised scales and the smooth, shimmering shell, allowing shadows to settle into the contours while the inlay catches the light with subtle colour shifts. The result is a buckle that feels both naturalistic and artistic — a miniature piece of wearable sculpture with a strong sense of character. At 40mm, this buckle pairs perfectly with wider belts and offers strong unisex appeal. It brings individuality and presence to smart‑casual styling, adding a touch of rugged elegance to denim, leather, or layered looks. As part of our sculptural series, this piece is produced as a Ltd Edition, underscoring its collectible, art‑driven nature. This is a buckle for someone who appreciates bold animal motifs, intricate craftsmanship, and accessories that feel truly unique.
