□PRODUCT DETAIL
ITUAIS's first leather belt "aproveitar".
The model name "aproveitar" means "horse tack" in Portuguese, and as the name suggests, it is a piece that embodies materials and background related to horse tack.
・Buckle by the oldest hardware manufacturer in Paris
The hardware used this time is from a horse tack hardware manufacturer founded about 200 years ago in Paris, said to be the oldest in the area.
At its founding, it specialized in making parts for carriages and harnesses, and has a history of decorating Napoleon's army carriages.
It is also a skilled maker with a history of winning many awards at the 1880 and 1914 World's Fairs.
After the spread of automobiles, it expanded its field to hardware for luxury leather goods, gaining trust from many renowned maisons over the years with its reliable technology.
It has produced many designs inspired by the tradition of horse tack, and the bending of buckle pins, assembly, and final finishing are still carefully done by hand.
For this belt, we adopted the design hardware from the manufacturer's catalog of the 1960s-70s.
It has a somewhat modern yet European vintage atmosphere that is very attractive.
・"NATURAL SADDLE" leather from the long-established French tanner ARNAL
The leather used is "NATURAL SADDLE" from ARNAL, a French company that has been making horse tack leather for over 140 years and holds a top share worldwide.
It is made from cow shoulder leather, a part said to be muscular and highly durable.
ARNAL's shoulder leather is characterized by its durability, moist texture, and beautiful coloration.
It is a truly "solid and robust" leather that combines elegance with the toughness required for horse tack.
The aging process is slow, gradually developing a subtle gloss over time and deepening in richness over many years.
By using the thickness as is without thinning, it creates a moderate firmness and weightiness, resulting in a belt that can be loved for a long time.
・A belt where both leather and hardware mature together
The hardware is made of brass, and the leather is Natural Saddle that can be enjoyed for its aging.
Both mature slowly, deepening their character year by year.
ITUAIS's first leather belt "aproveitar".
We hope you will enjoy nurturing this piece condensed with historic materials and craftsmanship for a long time.
