Handwoven Color, Made to Be Worn
Each belt begins with vibrant Guatemalan textile, bringing color, pattern, and everyday personality to a practical wardrobe piece. It’s an easy way to add handmade beauty without saving it for a special occasion.
Whipstitched by Skilled Hands
Lorenzo and his team finish each belt with hand whipstitching that moves faster than you’d think possible. The stitching adds strength, texture, and a small-but-mighty reminder that this piece was made by real people, not a machine.
Care Instructions
Your Guatemalan belt is made with handwoven textile and genuine leather, so a little gentle care will help it age beautifully.
Spot clean the woven portion with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid soaking, machine washing, or using harsh cleaners, as water and agitation can affect both the textile and leather.
For the leather, wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Over time, the leather may soften and develop a natural patina. If it begins to look dry, you may apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the leather only, testing first in an inconspicuous area.
To store, hang or roll the belt loosely and keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight or excess moisture. Because each belt includes handmade and vintage-inspired woven details, slight variations are part of its beauty.
