Leonardo Verrelli Women's Grey Genuine Leather Belt Strap 3.6 cm

The strap is 4 mm thick and cut from genuine leather, which gives it a quiet firmness without making it stiff to wear. It is a belt strap from Leonardo Verrelli, made for women, and finished in a soft, even grey.

It is sold without a buckle. The strap fastens with press studs to an interchangeable buckle, which is not included, so you decide how plain or decorative the finished belt will be. Pair it with the buckle of your choice and the same strap can serve for several looks.

Four lengths are available: 100 cm, 105 cm, 110 cm and 115 cm. The width is 3.6 cm, a proportion that sits comfortably in the loops of jeans and work trousers as well as on smarter tailoring.

To find your length, take a belt that already fits you well and measure it from the buckle to the hole you use most. Then choose the closest of the four sizes.

Grey is a restrained colour and rarely competes with what you are wearing. It works easily with black, white and blue, whether the strap is threaded through trousers or a skirt, or used to mark the waist of a dress.

A little care keeps good leather looking its best. Apply a leather balm now and then, and avoid leaving the strap exposed to damp for long periods. Treated this way, it should stay supple and keep its appearance for a long time.
