Handmade leather belts

Some treasure is made, not found.

Full-grain Tuscan veg-tan leather and buckles by Abbey. Cut, edged, hand punched and finished, one belt at a time, to be worn for decades.

From hide to belt

Watch one belt being cut, edged, punched and finished by hand. Just over a minute.

I.

The leather

Walpier Rocky, a full-grain vegetable-tanned leather from Tuscany, supplied by AA Crack. Three shades, Cuoio, Foresta and Nero, each deepening with every year you wear it.

II.

The buckle

Brass and nickel buckles by Abbey, one of England’s long-established buckle makers, in two classic shapes: the square West End and the rounded Bristol.

III.

The hands

Every belt is cut, edged, hand punched and finished by one person at the bench. No production line, no shortcuts.

The collection

Four buckles, three leathers

Each belt comes in Cuoio, Foresta or Nero. 38mm wide, made to your size.

The story

Ben Gunn found it first.

In Treasure Island, everyone is chasing Flint’s gold. But Ben Gunn, marooned alone for three years, had already found it, and quietly carried it piece by piece to his cave.

We like that idea: patient work, done by one pair of hands, kept for the people who know where to look.

“Many’s the long night I’ve dreamed of cheese — toasted, mostly.”Ben Gunn, Treasure Island
