As ever when a new season is upon us we look to innovate and experiment. Having seen the way fashion has evolved in the last years with a shift towards more casual, sporty clothing and footwear in particular we have been keen to continue developing our 'Performance' collection. With this in mind, as well as our love for mixing different textures of leather together, we have reworked our Belafonte belt design to give it a sporty, athleisure feel that is fresh and different. This belt with its fluid swirl like flow is now made with a mix of our Deep Choc blue mix textured performance fabric overlaid with rich dark brown suede. The tip shape is a little sharper and more contemporary too. The resulting belt is one that is crisp and innovative, showing lovely hand workmanship and real attention to detail. For us the design itself is strong enough that our resulting buckle choice is naturally more low key - although not dull - in keeping with the sporty feel and to bring forth the warm tone of the belt we have used our kinked edge roller buckle in a satin gold finish - the etched roller surface mimicking the texture of the performance fabric. In the end you have a belt that is really unique and different, not one you will ever see elsewhere! It is a belt that can be worn casually of course but mixing this more sporty look with smarter casual wear/eveningwear for a sleek contemporary look will really show how much of a belt connoisseur you are.
