This latest iteration of our 'Raft' design belt really is a true classic. It essentially epitomizes all that we love to do here at Elliot Rhodes - make really stunning, eye-catching belts that you will not find anywhere else! 'Raft' first debuted back in 2019 and brought a new design element that immediately made it stand out from its predecessors. This season it arrives in a great new Ice Grey colourway that once lasered reveals a greyish brown tone below, giving a really cool two tone belt design. To make 'Raft' 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. Of course what takes this belt from good to great is our choice of buckle - this aged silver wrapped snake prong style buckle with its heavily etched surface blends perfectly with the rivet and strap detail to create an overall belt that is fun, edgy and most definitely different! 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 black and grey but also 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 will make a serious statement!
