Skin

Buffalo hide is identifiable by its veined appearance and coarser feel. As it is a very thick and strong leather, buffalo makes an ideal choice for your luxury belt. It originates in Africa, and will sometimes display light scarring or marks where the animal was bitten by insects. This can add a touch of uniqueness, or these areas can be removed, depending on the esthetic desired. Duret Paris is especially careful to uphold an ethical supply chain, and we acquire our exotic buffalo leather from officially certified sources. These are noble materials and will enhance the buffalo hide that makes up the key element of your Duret Paris belt.

Color

Your belt in blue patinated buffalo was crafted with the traditional saddlery and leathercrafting know-how of Duret Paris. We have been bringing our exacting quality, subtle style, and eye for perfection to our unique and authentic leather goods for over 25 years. The quality of our leathers and skins is paramount to us, since they will be the cornerstone of the belt or accessory you select. The leather of your belt or accessory will be dyed the desired color, blue, using natural pigments. A hallmark of Duret Paris, a patinated blue can also be achieved through the application of beeswax. You can pick the type of buckle that best matches your blue belt from our choice of gold, palladium or ruthenium finishes. Your blue leather belt is equally suited to daily wear or special occasions like a wedding or award ceremony. Whatever style you choose, your blue jean patinated buffalo belt can be monogrammed with your initials – or someone else’s, if it is to be a gift.

Finish

Exquisite patinas have been the hallmark of Duret Paris for over 25 years. The entire patination process is carried out by hand by Mickaël Benarroch and his team of skilled leather artisans, who apply natural pigments and beeswax to achieve the desired effect. Putting a patina on leather is a way of imitating the natural ageing of the animal skin. Patinas can have a classic appearance, or be intended to create effects like old wood, or the marble look of our museum calf. All types of leather can take a patina, and we have applied patinas to belts from leathers as different as calfskin, lambskin, crocodile, python and even ostrich. So whichever of these leathers you choose, Duret Paris can add a patina that will make your belt a truly unique and luxurious accessory.
