In a rich chocolate brown Italian calfskin, the v2 belt offers warmth and character with its deeper, wider profile. Hand-cut and stitched in the heart of Florence by a family of master artisans, the full-grain, first-pick leather outer is sourced in Tuscany and lined with soft top-grain nubuck. The dark-cocoa tone develops a handsome patina over time, complemented by a solid brass buckle lightly coated for lasting lustre.
Handcrafted in Italy
In a city teaming with leather makers and sellers, it can be hard to find the best of the best. That’s because many shops and traders benefit from Florence’s world renown for excellence in leather tanning and craftsmanship, even though they sell a low grade or imitation product. Luckily, we stumbled across Daniele’s workshop on a summer evening as we were walking back from Santa Croce Square. It was the smell that caught our attention- we knew we had found something special. With a family history in leather craftsmanship, Daniele honours the traditional methods of making which Florence is revered for. Put simply- a Florentine product, made of leather sourced in Tuscany, hand-stitched by Florentine masters. The real thing, start to finish.
##The best leather and accessories stitched together impeccably- it’s that simple.
A heavy, solid brass filled buckle covered in palladium guarantees a lasting shine, while only the finest leather from Tuscany is used on the outer and inner strip. A three-step hand-cutting process ensures each section is made to fit together effortlessly. And our craftsmen wouldn’t have it any other way.
##When it comes to the world of fine belts, the devil truly is in the detail.
That’s because every component can make the difference between a belt prone to fraying and wear, and one that will stay with you for years to come. A poorly stitched buckle will come off after a few wears, and if it’s made of cheap metal it can dullen quickly. A belt may seem a simple thing, but hours of care and careful craftsmanship ensure ours is the only belt you’ll ever really need.
