On a trip to my fathers house in Burkina Faso in West Africa I came up with this design and got the local bronze artisans to make the first version of this Buckle. I have been refining it ever since
A kind of sideways S shape this buckle is removable and can be changed for another by sliding it on and off. Many of the other buckles tend to be sewn into the belts and cannot be removed.
Every rustic, chic, handmade buckle is hand finished and therefore is unique and different to the previous. Belt straps are hand dyed resulting in a colour that is rich and complex due to the slightly uneven manner it reflects the light. Think of the sea reflecting the light on a summers day.
Buckles come in 3 different versions:
- stirling silver
- solid brass with silver plate finish
- solid brass
Leather
For the belts I employ full grain Spanish vegetable tanned leather. I hand cut and dye all the straps personally in my small workshop in the heart of Barcelona, a space open to visitors all year round.
Standard belts are made to a thickness of 2’5 to 3 mm.
Belts are cut to size according to the information given at the time of purchase.
Please read guidance when purchasing to get the right size.
AF Buckle Nº4 is designed for a belt that is 4 centimetres wide.
All items are assigned with their own unique number code and registered in the book of sales to the person who has purchased it.
