Vegetable tanned
We work exclusively with vegetable-ttanned leather, using natural tannins found in plants.
This type of processing takes place very slowly in wooden drums, ensuring a low environmental impact and the absence of toxic substances that can cause allergies in humans.
Specifically, full-grain calf leather is used for belts.
Nickel-free buckle
The belt buckle is made in Italy, nickel-free, and compliant with the European regulation on the production of chemicals and their safe use (REACH)
unique pieces
Handmade for you
Our full-grain leather belts are entirely handmade, ensuring greater durability and a uniqueness that distinguishes each individual piece.
Therefore, any imperfection is synonymous with the product's craftsmanship.
Unlike industrial belts, the inside of our belts is made of leather without using plastics or cardboard.
This gives you a softer and more durable belt.

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 because it has not undergone any processing that alters its appearance. The grain remains natural and intact, thanks 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 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 treated to reduce defects and marks. This category includes printed leathers or those with a very covering finish.
