"Buffalo" leather belt, Swabian water buffalo

Water buffalo from Swabia?

Yes, they exist! Water buffalo are becoming increasingly popular here as they are used in nature conservation areas, where they are free to live on vast lands and pastures. Where water buffalo graze, certain plants are finally able to grow, and many animal species find a new home there.

These animals are absolute specialists when it comes to moorlands. In areas where no machine can be used anymore, or where machines would cause too much damage, the water buffalo come into play, as their nature allows them to cope very well with swampy terrain.

Of course, the water buffalo are also slaughtered, and their high-quality meat is utilized.

Now we come into play. The buffalo hides are far too precious and valuable to be disposed of after slaughter. That is why we also have the buffalo hides tanned in the Swabian Jura.

Water buffalo leather differs significantly from standard cattle leather. It has shorter fibers and is therefore very soft and comfortable, despite its thickness of up to 8 mm. The surface structure is also noteworthy, featuring a wonderfully uniform grain.

High-quality craftsmanship! The water buffalo belts are made from 5 mm thick, vegetable-tanned leather from local animals. After the individual belt straps are cut, they are hand-dyed in the respective color. This collection has been finished with sturdy decorative stitching, making these belts absolutely robust companions.

The buckle is attached with a separate tongue, rather than the standard method of simply folding the end of the belt over and sewing the buckle on. This tongue is firmly secured and sewn by hand using the saddle stitch. The edges of the belt have been polished with beeswax.

Antique brass buckle - The brass buckle with a beautiful patina gives the belts a special charm.

Dimensions! The belt is 3.9 cm wide and available in various sizes/lengths.

A companion for eternity, ...because quality counts!
