Leonardo Verrelli Women's Grey Genuine Leather Belt Strap 3.8 cm

Soft, understated grey that sits happily with indigo jeans, black trousers, a cream knit or a camel coat. This women's belt strap in grey genuine leather from Leonardo Verrelli is the quiet kind of accessory that ties an outfit together without shouting about it. At 3.8 cm wide and 3 mm thick, it has just the right presence for relaxed jeans and casual trousers, and it can just as easily cinch the waist of a coat.

This is a strap only, sold without a buckle. It fastens with press studs, so you can snap on the interchangeable buckle of your choice, which is not included. Swap in a plain metal one for the office, something bolder for the weekend, and the same strap does both jobs. The genuine leather gives it the firmness and staying power to cope with daily wear, and it likes a little care in return: every so often, work in a touch of leather cream to keep it nourished.

It comes in four lengths: 100 cm, 105 cm, 110 cm and 115 cm. To pick yours, take a belt that already fits you well and measure it from the buckle to the hole you actually use, then choose the closest of the four sizes. That is all it takes to get it right first time.
