【 Western Leather Belt 】
Crafted with exquisite craftsmanship, the Western Leather Belt features a premium silver-plated (.9999) buckle with a luxurious and substantial feel. It is paired with durable Italian full grain vegetable-tanned cowhide to create a classic and elegant belt with a width of 2cm.

【 Tale of the West 】
Back to the American Civil War in the 1860s, western cowboys only wore suspenders, while belts were primarily used by soldiers. However, as surplus military belts entered the second-hand market, cowboys began to accept belts worn around the waist. By early 1920s, belts had became the mainstream choice, and Western decorative patterns were also incorporated onto them.
Due to the cowboys' long hours working in the wilderness or on the plains, the flamboyant and eye-catching designs of Western attire served the purpose of making them recognisable even from a distance.
Craftsmen showcased their creativity by crafting decorative belt buckles for cowboys, gradually forming the western aesthetics. These belt buckles drew inspiration from natural environments, ethnic stories and important events.

【 .9999 Silver-plated Buckles 】
In today's mass-produced fast fashion world, it is challenging to find high-end decorative buckles reminiscent of the western past. We have ultimately succeeded in collaborating with a factory to create buckles with a purity of .9999 silver-plated.
The cost of sterling silver plating is ten times higher than normal silver colour. True silver-plated buckles results in a more lustrous and oxidized effect, showcasing its exceptional quality and significance in craftsmanship.

【 Premium Leather 】
This brown Italian vegetable-tanned cowhide demonstrates a true natural beauty. Each piece carries uniquely serious full-grain pattern and characteristics. Over time it would develop a rich patina and shine. This is the result of a months-long and time-consuming vegetable tanning process.
