Our Bonn-based factory uses the finest leathers and belt buckles to create handcrafted leather belts of consistently top-quality. The cut edges are sanded, sealed with natural glue, and polished in several steps. These belts are made with cowhide from Italy and Horween USA. The buckle is made of solid brass and manufactured in Italy.

Making a cambered belt

A curved belt is created through a two-layer manufacturing process. First, the lining leather is cut and thinned toward the edges. This creates the characteristic curve by making the base/lining leather thicker in the center and thinner toward the edges.

Next, the upper and lining leather are glued together, the excess leather is trimmed flat by hand, and then stitched to ensure stability and durability. The edges are sanded and polished before the belt buckle is sewn in by hand using a "one-stitch" technique.
