Our interchangeable system
Did you know all of our belts and straps can be swapped with any of our buckles? Mix and match your buckles, and chop and change the look of your belt in the blink of an eye.
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!
How it's made |
Buckle making remains a remarkably traditional skill with most of our designs initially crafted by hand in wax before being melted away to create a mould from which we can cast your buckle. Once cast the buckle is then sent away for the galvanic process which gives it its colour and then any additional details such as enamel or crystals are applied by hand. Whether being made in Italy, France, Mexico, USA or the UK the techniques used remain the same. |

Great Style, great Quality, great online processing, despite Brexit!
Great buckle - not ostentatious, but very fine.
Is my second one. The first one has now gone a bit yellow and some of the white has worn off. It would be nice if there was a restoration service, as the actual leather is still good.
Great quality - good weight and feel to the strap, and a belt and clasp that are easy to use.
I bought this as a special gift for my son’s birthday.
It’s a work of art.
Fabulous staff, so very helpful and of course a beautiful product, thank you.
Fabulous quality and customer service second to non !

Thank you so much Andrea !! You a a STAR
Lovely unusual belt a birthday present for my son he loves it!
The chocolate brown is mottled which lends a lot of quality to how it looks and is a great texture to the touch.
Great looking belt that makes an outfit that much more special
Easy closing and good to transfer to another ER belt of the same size.
Exactly what I wanted. I always love everything from Elliot Rhodes.
Really fabulous belt with beautiful buckle that I can use on other belts from ER that are the same width. Great service too when I made a mistake on my order.
I bought two Novak belt straps and am delighted with both. One is ivory and the other electric blue. Both are just what I wanted and look lovely with the buckles which I already have. I like the whole concept of Elliot Rhodes. I have five straps so far and have no doubt I shall buy more in the future. They are beautifully made and such a good quality. They arrive in nice packaging and the whole process is painless. Furthermore, if you have a query they are so helpful and will go out of their way to help. It is a pleasure to buy from them.
