Argentina has a different relationship with leather. Less decorative. Closer to practical use. Polo, horseback riding, saddlery, and workshop are not far apart there.
Our belts are made in Buenos Aires, in a family workshop that has been serving the Argentine equestrian world for three generations. At their request, we do not disclose their name.
Each belt goes through a few clear steps. Cutting from full-grain leather. Hand embroidery. Double saddle stitch. Assembly of the solid brass buckle, cast and hand-polished.
This takes longer than industrial production. That's precisely why we do it this way. Not because slowness is romantic. But because you recognize precision when you've held it in your hands often enough.
