the versatile leather belt pouch can be worn in a variety of different ways and has been cut from a butter soft full grain 3.5mm vegetable tanned, washed and tumbled reverse horse culatta leather with a layer of subdermal cordovan. the leather has been treated with an iron dye that has brewed in the atelier for 18 months and offers an array of inky grey nuances.
culatta is a special cut combined of the rear just above the cordovan, the belly middles and the hind shanks, offering a dense structure, tight grain and medium to firm temper. vegetable tanning is a traditional method of treating the hide using natural extracts such as tree bark, for a truly artisanal finish.
crafted with a single piece pattern construction, the bag is hand sewn with closed seam sides, and an open seam construction to the flap in a tonal 0.65mm hand waxed japanese linen thread over a 25 hour period without the use of machines. the unlined interior has been waxed for additional protection.
triple straps to the rear allow the pouch to slide directly on to a belt or a bag strap and features inverted cross stitching and an extended center strap that houses the 24hour distressed clip. a detachable keychain features a hand forged 5mm iron ring and a 10 hour slow oxidised and hammered .999 silver key ring. with its versatility the belt bag can be attached via the keychain, the distressed clip or directly threaded through the straps.
a 10 hour slow oxidised hand carved .999 silver button keeps the flap and front pocket fastened simultaneously. a vertical riri zipper forms the closure for the front pocket and is complimented by a hand carved and oxidised sterling silver zipper pull. signature branding is hidden inside the pocket ands sits on top of a hammered silver bar.
the pouch is big enough to carry sunglass, a smartphone, a cardholder and keys.
