Women's Blue Genuine Leather Belt Leonardo Verrelli

Genuine leather is the heart of this belt, and it is the kind of material that feels reassuring the moment you pick it up: a solid strap, 4 mm thick, that sits firmly at the waist and does its job without fuss. Here it comes in blue, a colour that adds a little personality without shouting about it.

This is a women's belt designed by Leonardo Verrelli, 3.4 cm wide, with a classic pin buckle. If you like a closure you can adjust in a second, you will appreciate it. There are adjustment holes either side of the central one, so you can find your comfortable fit and move it up or down a notch as needed.

It comes in six lengths: 85 cm, 100 cm, 105 cm, 110 cm, 115 cm and 120 cm. The length shown is measured from the buckle to the central hole, not the whole strap. If you are unsure, take a belt that already fits you well and measure it from the buckle to the hole you normally use, then pick the size closest to that figure. And if yours turns out slightly long, the belt can be shortened.

Blue is easier to style than you might think. It sits nicely alongside white, beige and grey, so it works with plenty of what is already in your wardrobe. Wear it through the loops of your trousers, or use it to define the waist of a shirt dress and give the whole outfit a finishing touch.

Looking after it takes very little effort. A touch of leather cream every now and then keeps the surface in good condition, and if it gets wet, simply let it dry in the open air.

It also makes a thoughtful gift for a friend, something practical she will actually reach for. A good belt can change an outfit, marking the waist while pulling the look together, and this one is happy to do exactly that.
