Slim Handmade Calf Leather Belt Brown

Belts are a pragmatic accessory, so it is rare to find a belt that can truly be called ‘elegant’. This belt is refined in a typically Japanese way, it is slim and shows an attention to detail that is all too scarce in western apparel. The buckle is long and slim, in keeping with the rest of the belt. It is an ideal accessory for the smaller or slimmer gentleman. 

Japanese bespoke shoemaker Hidetaka Fukuya, who operates out of a small workshop in Florence, is renowned in menswear circles for the masterpieces he produces. Many of his shoes would fit as perfectly in a gallery as they do on their owners’ feet. Fukuya, known to locals as Il Micio or ‘the cat’, applies the same skill and precision to his leathergoods. All pieces are made by hand from the finest calfskin leather with refined finishing of the highest order. We have seen few if any small leathergoods that can match Il Micio’s pieces, they are sure to gain a cult following in the coming years.
