Cut from Italian vegetable tanned leather, a classic 1" (25 mm) black leather belt heat embossed with a flowing rose and foliage design for subtle added interest. 

 

Here our classic 1" or 25mm black leather belt has been heat embossed along the full length with a flowing rose and foliage design.

Always handmade by a member of our small team in London, we have selected a robust vegetable tanned 3.5 mm thick leather for our skinny black belts and have completed them with a press stud fastening which gives you the option to swap buckles for an even more versatile accessory. Meanwhile the heat embossing adds subtle interest to a classic thin black belt.

Our buckles are nickel-free and UK or Italian sourced, and the press stud attachment lets you swap out buckles with ease, so why not add a spare buckle to get even more wear out of your new favourite belt.

Sustainably sourced leather from Italy, the vegetable tanning preserves the natural grain and texture, for a belt which wears beautifully, taking on character and individuality with use.

- 1" (25mm) wide.

- 3.5mm thick full grain vegetable tanned leather from Italy.

- Heat embossed rose & foliage design.

- Buckles are Nickel free; brass or zamak.

- Press studs to swap out buckles.

- 25 Year Warranty

- Handmade in London.

Colour note: leather is a natural material and some variation between hides is to be expected. Please bear in mind that monitor settings may also create variance.

To figure out your perfect fit, measure a well fitting belt from the place at which the buckle is attached to the most used hole.

Alternatively, if you do have a tape measure to hand, measure over your trousers, exactly as you would wear the belt - which allows for the added bulk of the trousers. 

We believe in investment buying and creating belts that will only get better with age; stamped next to our logo, you'll notice our 25 year Warranty Snips - each of our classic belts are built to last, the full grain leather will wear beautifully and last a lifetime.

A full grain, natural finish, this leather's charm comes as it is used, aged, and gathers memories.

The leather we use for our classic belts is low maintenance and easy to care for. Most small scratches can be polished out with a clean, soft cloth.

Try not to let your new leather accessory get wet; if it does, allow it to dry naturally - away from heaters - and it might be worth giving it a little condition after. 

If you feel it’s in need of some extra affection, you might like to use a leather conditioner. Anything with beeswax or natural oils is best. Feel free to get in touch for our own recommendation.

We do not recommend using a coloured conditioner, as there is a high risk of colour transfer onto clothes. A neutral one will rejuvenate the colour slightly without the risk of damage.

The buckles we use for our classic belts are Brass or Zamak which shines up well with typical metal polishes. Always test the polish in an inconspicuous place first.

All of our leather is supplied by tanneries who are audited and certified by the Leather Working Group.

The Leather Working Group is the world’s largest leather sustainability program. LWG has identified environmental best practices in the industry and audits tanneries to assess the environmental performance of leather manufacturing facilities – and certifies those that meet the standards.

The leather used for our Belts is supplied by a Tuscan tannery that has a Silver Rating from the LWG, as well as being a member of The Genuine Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather Consortium.

The Consortium’s mission is to safeguard the centuries-old tradition of vegetable tanning and to guarantee the quality of the raw material and workmanship. The Consortium guarantees manufacturing processes compatible with the ecosystem and not harmful to people.

Embossed 1 inch belt

I have two of this type of belt, embossed with a floral pattern, one black, one brown. The quality is excellent and it’s nice to be able to choose a buckle. They soften beautifully with wear. I always seem to have a problem with belts making tiny holes in my t-shirts, it doesn’t happen with these belts. Also, I think they are very good value for money. Thank you Village Leathers.

Black belt

Received my black belt and am very pleased with the quality. Well worth the price and I'm sure I will be getting one or two more .

I ordered a belt that was too large so sent it back via recorded delivery. I advised that I would re-order a smaller size through their store.

I received a snotty email back with emotive language that conjured up the image of me tying a knot in the belt and lobbing it back in the bag and posting it to them. I was sent a picture of a small indentation (that in all fairness could have been there when it arrived and I didn't notice) as 'proof' of my mishandling.

They then offered that they could stamp a smaller hole in the belt, and said I would need to pay for the third time for postage as the belt was unsellable. I thought the accusation was uncalled for so I filed a complaint through Etsy to get my money back (which they completely ignored).

It's a shame as I'm a return customer - never again! Keep the belt!
