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

Finish

The option of choosing leather with a matte finish is available in all Duret Paris belts. A matte finish comes with that understated, low-key vibe that is the marker of great elegance. All our different leathers can be given a matte finish, whether you opt for one of the various box and calfskin varieties, or a more exotic skin like ostrich, elephant, shark, or crocodile. You will need to give your Duret Paris luxury belt in matte leather a little bit of extra nurture, caring for it with a special colorless balm. If you do decide on a matte finish for your leather belt, you can have it in any color you like. At Duret Paris, we have unparalleled expertise in fine leathers and the mastery of traditional leatherworking techniques to craft the belt of your dreams for you in a matte finish.
