The Bridle Leather Lined and Raised Belt is one of our oldest and best known designs, a belt entirely made by hand, that is made for and with a love for craft more than any other motive. Each belt has around 1000 stitches, depending on length, and represents a day of work for the craftsman who makes it. Whilst the design is simple in its conception, it takes years to develop and refine the techniques necessary to make one and a single slip at the wrong moment can destroy a days work, making this a true test of the craftsman's skill, nerve and patience. In an age where luxury is often defined only by a logo and price tag a belt like this is different, handmade, hand stitched quality, made to last, made with passion and craftsmanship, not with a machine. #handsnotmachines #thinkdifferently
