If you are an Elliot Rhodes aficionado you will know that we love creating belts with multiple textures and subtle detailing. For this season we have created a brand new style that mixes both smooth and Criss cross 'dadino' textured hand burnished vegetable tanned leather. Our latest style goes by the name 'Silverado', a name we felt suitable given the slight Western influence behind the design. This belt itself not only has an eye-catching ergonomically formed padded dadino textured tip insert but also a delicate perforation detail all around. To give the rest of the belt some extra texture we have mimicked the curved form of the tip design in a swirly perforation detail that repeats itself along the belt. The unique design continues all the way to the loops with their shaped dadino inserts. The colour of the belt is rich burgundy, but as a result of the hand burnishing process it is full of rich tonality, with swirly darker and lighter shades - it also has slightly paler stitch detail to help contrast with the leather tone. When it came to choosing the perfect buckle for this combination we decided that classic was best, keeping the focus on the strap detail whilst loving the warm feel that this antique gold finish creates. All in all this makes for a sophisticated but distinct belt style, the sort of belt that you can pop on with denim or wear with contemporary or smart casualwear for a crisp, stylish, tonal look. The burgundy tone is remarkably versatile, whether matched with similar toned shoes or simply used as a warm contrast tone on denim, black, grey or more autumnal tones. A fabulous belt that shows craftsmanship and attention to detail, distinctive, cool and really different without being flashy.
