- Blackshaw’s Beaded Belt.
- Vegetable dyed leather has been used in the making of this belt.
- This uses natural tannins to treat and dye the leather. Vegetable tanned leather takes 30-60 days to produce.
- 90% of the world’s leather is chrome tanned and treated with toxic chemicals which dramatically reduces the life span and durability of the leather that should last for many years if treated with care.
- The natural colours in vegetable tanned leather produce a richer, deeper patina and allow the leather to soften naturally over time without cracking and becoming brittle.
- Vegetable tanned leather will initially be stiff before it is worn in. Saddle Soap or Leather care products can be used to help soften if required.
- Tiny seed beads made from glass have been used to make your belt vibrant and fun to wear. These have been painstakingly hand-threaded by home workers to make the product you now see.
- Each belt may have natural irregularities making its design unique to your product.
- The simple buckle that we have used has been made from solid brass, making a high-quality product for you to enjoy.
Care Instructions
- We recommend that you only wipe these beads clean with a lightly damp cloth and that you keep your belt stored in its bag when not wearing it to help keep it new and safe.
- Leather can be wiped with a warm damp cloth to clean and can be treated with a good quality leather care product to keep soft and supple.
To achieve a great fitting belt.
Many people get the wrong size belt because they measure the narrowest part of their waist. Most belts are worn
with trousers that often sit just at the top of your hips . Remember when getting the right size belt for you to
probably take the measurment from the top of your hips that are wider than your waist .
