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 giving the belt a really earthy, mellow look, where the focus was firmly on the strap design and detail. As a result we opted for our classic flange design prong buckle, most importantly in an antique brass finish that gives the belt a harmonious tonality. 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!
