Handwoven Guatemalan Leather Belt – Café au Lait

• Handwoven cotton strap with full-grain leather trim
• Antique brass buckle and eyelets
• Width: 4cm (1.5")

Finding your size: Measure one of your existing belts from the base of the buckle (not the tip) to the hole you wear - this is the waist size to order.

I love wearing mine with my favourite jeans or over a summer cotton dress, but it looks particularly lovely paired with my cream or Toasted Almond Merino Gilet - the tones sit so beautifully together. A simple way to bring a touch of colour, texture and quiet detail to an everyday outfit.

Each belt is handmade in the highlands of Guatemala. The leather is cut and stitched by Mayan artisans - traditionally the men - while the cotton strap is woven by the women on a backstrap loom, a skill passed down through generations. Every piece is a small celebration of independent craftsmanship.

As each belt is handwoven, the diamond patterns and colour placement will vary slightly from belt to belt - part of the beauty of a piece made entirely by hand.

Our handwoven Guatemalan leather belts look beautiful threaded through jeans or cinched at the waist over a dress.

The size recommendations below assume the belt is being worn with jeans at the top of the hip. If you're planning to wear it at the waist over a lightweight dress, size down.
