These are special handcrafted belts that all have what the Japanese refer to as a 'wabi sabi' that refers to the imperfection of the handmade that gives handcrafted items their own character and soul.
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 Nº15 is designed for a belt that is 6 centimetres wide.

On average materials would account for around 20% of costs with the exception of solid silver buckles or exotic skins where it is much higher. The rest, 80%, is related to labour costs, the cost of renting the workshop, tools, their replacements and/or maintenence. Not forgetting 21% vat and other taxes.
All items are assigned with their own unique number code and registered in the book of sales to the person who has purchased it.
I guarantee my work against all premature defects arising from a responsible use of my products and will be happy to repair items that have not performed as expected for free. (I don’t cover shipping though.)
Please note:
Due to the one-of-a-kind nature of the medium exact colours and patterns may vary slightly from the images shown.
