Twisted Edge Prong Style Carbon Fibre Buckle 40mm

After what seems an eternity our landmark collection of carbon fibre buckles has finally arrived. These sleek, hi tech, lightweight buckles are truly something to behold and we feel yet another step forward in our buckle design mission. Each piece is entirely handmade - the skill is not just in making items in carbon fibre but in finishing them to a whole new standard, so that the surfaces are incredibly smooth like a perfect veneer and in addition we have managed to add colour to create wonderful two tone effects. Each piece we make goes through multiple time-consuming stages as layer upon layer of carbon fibre is built up, varnished and polished to create a finished piece. For those new to the world of Carbon Fibre the material comes literally as a sort of mesh fabric no more than 1mm thick. Each layer of mesh is varnished with a two-part polymer, then left to dry before the next layer of mesh can be added in order to build up thickness. So, for a buckle that is about 8mm thick that's 8 sessions of layering, varnishing and drying. That is before any refinement of shape or form and the refined finishing that we have strived for with our buckle collection. This particular prong style is classic but has a neat twisted front edge detail to give it refinement and character. Perfect on a casual belt or really sleek paired with a leather that has more of a sheen to give a contemporary tech look. Carbon Fibre buckles contain no metal so are perfect for allergy sufferers and ideal for travellers tired of taking off their belts at airport security!
