On a trip to West Africa to visit my father I decided to colaborate with the local artisans to come up with a new buckle that was reflection of their way of working. This buckle is the fruit of that colaboration. No lines are strictly straight, on return to Barcelona I added the thick pin to give the finishing touch to this rustic buckle and I have been loving it ever since.
Smart yet casual this belt could become a weekend favourite as you let your hair down and chill out with a nice cold drink in your hand together with friends.
Handcrafted to be everything except perfect these belts and buckles maintain their uniqueness and individual character. I aim to finish them in a way to be different one to the other, even if they are the same model.
