Skin

Choosing elephant hide as a leather for your belt makes for an uncommon look, because it has a very distinctive appearance with a dense, rich texture marked with creases. Elephant hide is rare and has a wilderness feel to it, with a bit of a vintage vibe. It is generally dyed in sober colors like shades of black, blue, khaki, or beige, using natural pigments. Your elephant hide belt will chiefly stand out for the texture of its elephant leather, and the fine craftsmanship required to work it. Duret Paris sources elephant hides that meet the criteria set out in the Washington Convention (also known as CITES), which governs international trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora.

Color

Your belt in gray elephant 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, gray, using natural pigments. A hallmark of Duret Paris, a patinated gray 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 gray leather belt is equally suited to daily wear or special occasions like a wedding or award ceremony. Whatever style you choose, your gray elephant belt can be monogrammed with your initials – or someone else’s, if it is to be a gift.
