Exceptional craftsmanship for top-of-the-range belts

The art of making a belt involves many complex steps, much more than you might think. It all starts with cutting the leather strips for the belt's exterior and lining. Although the cutting is done by hand, we have recently introduced a digital cutting machine for prototypes and non-rectilinear shapes. The end of the belt is precision cut using a die. The strips of leather are then thinned, also known as 'slit' in the jargon, to reduce the thickness at the edges, make the sewing easier and give the belt a curved shape. The outer and inner parts are carefully glued together with an environmentally-friendly water-based adhesive, then pressed together after a short drying time of two to five seconds. A reinforcement can be inserted between the two leather strips to stabilise the belt assembly and give it more roundness. An extra margin is added to obtain the exact width, the holes are machine-drilled and the size and brand are hot-engraved on the end or in the middle of the belt, whether right side up or upside down. At the same time, the buckle and loop are cut out. After hand-dyeing the edges with up to five layers, a seam is sewn to reinforce the belt's strength and enhance its aesthetic appeal. The buckle fasteners are hand-sewn and then attached to the belt, and the loop is fitted.

Make the most of your Noreve leather belt

It's essential to choose a belt that's right for you. Whether you're a man or a woman, take the time to measure your waist size before referring to our size charts. Make sure your belt suits your shape and your figure. The way you wear it will differ depending on whether you're tall and slim or short. Next, colour is an important consideration. Although a woman can allow herself more freedom, it will be difficult for a man to wear a belt in pastel shades, for example, unless he wants to adopt a quirky style. What's more, the choice of belt should be based primarily on the colour of the shoes, and possibly the jacket and/or trousers. Finally, it all depends on the context and your personal style. As mentioned above, you can opt for a classic finish or slightly less formal, clean edges.

Look after your Noreve leather belt with these simple tips

Our leather belts are elegant, refined and durable. So it's only natural that you should want to preserve them for as long as possible. However, as you wear them and thread them through the loops of your clothes, the leather can deteriorate, warp and lose its colour. To keep your belt in perfect condition, follow these simple maintenance steps. Regularly rub the belt with a colourless, natural cream specially designed for leather to nourish it and preserve its appearance. Also, avoid folding it as much as possible to avoid creating marks and creases.
