Each new season brings an opportunity to experiment and try new things, this season is no different. We have always liked mixing different textures of leather together and love the handcrafted feel it gives to the belts. This new Belmondo design (named of course after uber stylish French Film icon Jean Paul Belmondo) is an elegant streamlined belt with dadino textured leather inset into the arrow shaped tip to contrast against the smoother cordovan leather surface. The delicate perforation adds a little extra definition and adds to the sleek handcrafted look and the hand burnished finish brings forth vibrant dashes of deep red tones from within the black background. The resulting belt is one that is crisp and innovative, showing lovely hand workmanship and real attention to detail. When it came to choosing a buckle we decided that this stylish satin gunmetal buckle with its cut out edge design would be a perfect bedfellow for this belt, its light airy feel and low key tone adding style but not detracting from the intricate workmanship and of course chic colouring. Of course you might be wondering when to use a belt like this? Well, this is a belt that could be worn casually with denim but will be especially good with smarter casual wear/eveningwear, paired with blacks or greys to add a shot of confident colour. This is a belt to be worn for a sleek contemporary look that will really show how much of a belt connoisseur you are.
