Skin

Belts made of exotic alligator leather are rare and precious objects. There are only about ten tanneries in the whole world that possess the expertise required for working with alligator, crocodile or caiman skins, and we use the best leatherworkers in France. Alligator leather is recognizable by the shape of its scales, which are rounded on the flanks and more structured down the middle of the back. Our alligator leather is flawless as we source it from breeding farms in Florida, Texas and Louisiana – unlike wild alligators, these animals acquire no scars. Duret Paris draws on its consummate skill and talent to craft alligator skins into top-of-the-range belts and exquisite small leather goods. Over several decades, we have perfected the art of dyeing these skins using natural pigments and applying beautiful patinas by hand, all in the service of our clientele’s elegance.

Color

Your belt in brown millenium alligator 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, brown, using natural pigments. A hallmark of Duret Paris, a patinated brown can also be achieved through the application of beeswax. You can pick the type of buckle that best matches your brown belt from our choice of gold, palladium or ruthenium finishes. Your brown leather belt is equally suited to daily wear or special occasions like a wedding or award ceremony. Whatever style you choose, your brown patinated Millenium alligator belt can be monogrammed with your initials – or someone else’s, if it is to be a gift.

Finish

A Millenium finish gives a very smart, glossy appearance to your leather belt. It takes all the savoir-faire of France’s foremost tanneries and the saddlery expertise of Duret Paris and its skilled leatherworkers to make the most of this luxury leather. An extremely noble and highly prized material, Millenium crocodile leather gives an exquisitely rare and exotic feel to your luxury belt. When you choose a leather belt of Millenium crocodile from Duret Paris, you can customize the design of it down to the smallest detail – its color, the color of the linen stitching, the type and material of the buckle, and the finish of the leather. If you would like a patina applied to it, we will do it by hand. Your Millenium crocodile leather belt will be crafted entirely by hand by Mickaël Benarroch and his expert saddlery artisans.
