The use of belts dates back to ancient times. Contrary to what one might think, belts were not originally made to hold up pants but as decoration by soldiers to adorn their waists! It's thanks to sailors - in the 1920s - that the belt as we know it today was born. Indeed, British sailors used a rope to hold up their trousers. Not very practical when it got wet! So they had the idea of replacing the rope with a leather strap fastened with a buckle.
Which material to choose for your belt?
The materials used for manufacturing our belts are chosen with the utmost care to offer you belts of impeccable quality. Our workshop in Italy carefully selects the best leathers to provide you with belts that are not only of high quality but also pleasant to the touch. Choose the material according to your taste and how often you wear your belt! So, do you prefer leather belts, suede belts, nubuck belts, or even elastic belts?
What type of belt to wear for different occasions?
The belt is generally the accessory we think about the least in terms of style. However, we shouldn't overlook the belt as it has a real impact on the silhouette, beyond its primary purpose of holding up pants.
It's one of the essentials of an elegant male and female wardrobe. We offer a wide range of belts in several themes, always maintaining French delicacy and Italian craftsmanship. Adapt your belt to every occasion!
What color to choose for your belt?
Do you prefer cool colors, warm colors, or both? We offer ten belt colors ranging from navy blue to camel, including green, to best meet your desires. So, match your belt to your outfit or your favorite accessory and make your style stand out!
The width of a belt
After selecting the material that suits you and deciding in which circumstances you want to wear your belt, you need to choose the right belt size. Not only adjust your belt to your hip size or pants size, but also adapt it to the width of your pants' belt loops. We offer three different widths: fine, narrow, and medium.
A question about our collections?
To choose the right size for a men's belt, measure your waist or pants size in centimeters, then add 15 cm. For example, if your waist size is 85 cm, go for a belt size of 100. Ensure the chosen size corresponds to the distance from the buckle to the middle hole for the best fit. Opt for a belt with multiple holes to allow for more flexibility.
To choose a quality belt, prioritize premium materials such as full-grain leather for durability and elegance. Check the details, like neat stitching and a sturdy buckle. Ensure the size fits well, ideally with a few extra holes for adjustment. Lastly, opt for a timeless style that complements your wardrobe.
Men's belts come in various types depending on their use and style:
Dress belts: Typically made of smooth leather with a classic buckle, perfect for suits or formal attire.
Casual belts: Made of aged leather, canvas, or suede, often wider with more unique buckles, suitable for jeans and casual outfits.
Reversible belts: Offer two colors or textures in one belt, convenient for travel or switching up styles.
Braided belts: Often made of leather or textile, adding a more relaxed touch to an outfit.
Functional belts: Like elastic or technical belts, ideal for sports or outdoor activities.
Smooth leather belts are perfect for formal occasions, such as professional events or weddings, especially when matched with the color of your shoes. For casual occasions, textured leather, suede, or even fabric belts provide a more relaxed look, suitable for casual or smart-casual outfits.
