Ofelia Swarovski Crystal Leather Belt

Our leathers come exclusively from Tuscan tanneries and have the relevant certification.

Vegetable-tanned leather and hide are essentially the same thing.

By "pelle" (skin/leather), we mean the entire macro-category of hides, including all types of tanning. "Cuoio" (leather), on the other hand, refers exclusively to vegetable-tanned leather.

In our workshop, you will only find full-grain vegetable-tanned leather and hides.

Calfskin belts are suitable for formal and elegant attire, while bull leather belts are for a casual and informal look.

Belts are made within 2 working days of the order and shipped with 48h express courier.

Our belts are hand-stitched with waxed thread to make them indestructible. Therefore, to shorten them, they would need to be unstitched and then re-stitched by hand by a shoemaker/leather craftsman.

The grain is the outermost layer of the leather, the part we see when we buy a bag, wallet, etc.

There are three types of grain:

🔸 Full grain: This is the most prized type because it has not undergone any processing that alters its appearance. The grain remains natural and intact, thanks in part to the non-covering finish. To work with full-grain leather, it is essential that the animal has no scars or particular marks that would reduce its value. For this very reason, ensuring the animal's well-being is crucial! Only about 15% of leathers meet this characteristic, which is why the cost is higher.

🔸 Top grain: Unlike full grain, the finish used is more covering, such as one with pigments. However, we are still talking about first-choice leather!

🔸 Corrected grain: In this leather, the surface layer is processed to reduce defects and marks. This category includes stamped leathers or those with a very covering finish.
