We have been gradually building our collection of embellished, studded belts. This new addition 'Raft' brings a new design element that immediately makes it stand out from its predecessors. To make this belt we start with a lovely vegetable tanned unlined leather which is first lasered to create the paisley cut-outs, before then being lasered again to create a textured burn out effect that leaves a 'relief' two tone effect of paisley detail. At this stage the leather is then washed to pre-age it and finally the waves of antique silver and brass studs are added by hand. When it came to choosing a buckle we were drawn to further emphasizing the strap detail so opted to use our antique brass filigree design buckle whose own etched design closely mimics the paisley texture of the belt strap. We end up with a belt that is full of charm and style with a distinct vintage, boho, rock inspired edge to it - this belt could be worn with denim of course, will naturally match up with any number of neutral earthy tones and for ladies would look great over a sweater or dress. Definitely a belt that is full of character and ideal for bringing even the simplest of outfits to life!
