CUSTOM HANDMADE LEATHER BELTS
"To say I’m happy would be an understatement and I’m sure it will give me many years of service. I would highly recommend Wilde's Leatherwork. From contacting Geoff to receiving the finished product was a pleasant experience and his attention to detail is first class." - Eric H ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Most people don’t realise they’ll spend around £600 on cheap belts over their lifetime.
Belts that crack, stretch, then end up in the bin.
Let’s be honest you’ve probably bought a few belts in your time. They looked great on the rack, and did the job for a month or two. Then they started to crack, peel, and stretch, until one day they just gave up completely. Your confidence takes a hit, and your money, wasted. You’re not alone.
Here’s the dirty little secret of “genuine leather” belts...
Most of them are made from the lowest quality leather, many are made from bonded leather scraps, and some are even made from cardboard! But once they’re glued together, sprayed with plastic coating, and stamped 'MADE WITH GENUINE LEATHER', they look the part. They're made last months, if your lucky, not years. It doesn't matter where you shop either, budget retail or high-end outlets, they are all using the same tricks to keep you coming back again and again, to part with your hard-earned money, whilst they get rich. They're taking advantage of you because they think you don't know better.
My belts are built different
I do things the old way, tried and true. Each belt is cut from a single, solid piece of premium quality Italian vegetable-tanned leather, the strongest, most natural form of leather on earth. It doesn’t crack, ageing beautifully and developing a deep patina that tells your story. No layers, no fillers, no fakery. The same way craftsmen made belts long before fast fashion existed. The result? A belt that feels better with time and use, not worse. No plastic, no carboard. No compromises. Every belt is custom-cut to your exact size, burnished, and edge-sealed for life. No one-size-fits-all nonsense, no excess leather flaps blowin' in the wind, it’s made for you and your lifestyle, not for a shop mannequin.
My promise to you? No gimmicks. No excuses. Just a belt that lasts. Each one is hand-cut and crafted here in Blackburn, Lancashire, by me. If it ever fails because of the craftsmanship, I’ll repair, replace it or refund it. No questions asked. That’s how confident I am in what I make, and it’s how leather goods should be. Stop buying belts that end up in the bin, now is your time to own a belt that’ll outlive fast-fashion and any trends of the day.

The Story Behind Every Belt
I remember the days I would buy "genuine leather" belts, and only months later find it beginning to stretch, break, flake or crack. I can't tell you how much money and time i've wasted in the past.
That's why in 2020 I decided to make my first leather belt, it has taken me years to perfect the craft of making them. Now I have what I believe to be the perfect leather belt. Every part designed to last. Premium Italian leather, durable stainless steel buckles, and a lifetime guarantee to go with it. You'll only need to buy another one if you want to.
Only a few years ago, my Grandad Zoltan passed away. He was the kind of man who could make, build or work on anything, a craftsman at heart. When asked if I wanted any of his possessions to remember him by, I chose his leather belt, which had been used daily, i'm sure, as far back as the 1980s. To me this leather belt proves the value and longevity that well-made items have, and reminds me of the hard-working ethic my Grandad had, that inspires me when crafting, daily. You don't get that with vegan-plastic or cheaply made items. They will end up in the bin, or forgotten. I want to offer you or another loved one of yours, the same opportunity of feeling what I felt when I inherited his belt.
Good things last. Sometimes that's a leather belt, and sometimes it's a legacy.

PRICING AND AVIALABILITY
Pricing
Originally £80, now £60 for a limited time.
This is not a mass-produced belt with inflated markups. It is individually handmade from premium materials and built to last for years, backed by a lifetime guarantee. While I refine this new ordering process, I am offering this reduced price to a small number of customers. As a one man workshop without big business overheads, I can keep prices honest while still delivering proper quality.
Instead of replacing cheap belts again and again, this is one you buy once and wear for years.
Limited Availability - Only 20 Belts Per Batch
I only have one black leather hide in at the moment. I will invest in other colours when I can afford to do so. Each hide yields roughly 20 straps. If you would like one of those 20, make sure to order today. As I order this specific leather from Italy it takes weeks to arrive to the UK. The leather I am using is in high demand, as it's currently out of stock at time of writing. I only have a small bench, so I can only work on one project at a time, I am hoping to dedicate that space and time to crafting these belts. If you want a belt that’s built for your size, your style, and your story, now’s the time to order.
Custom Orders: Each belt is made to order based on the size, colour and specifications you choose. Because of this, custom items are exempt from standard change-of-mind returns. This means refunds cannot be offered if you simply no longer want the item or if an incorrect size or colour was selected when ordering. That said, I genuinely want you to be happy with your purchase. If there is an issue, please get in touch and I will always try to help where reasonably possible.
Faults and Craftsmanship Guarantee: All items are covered by a lifetime craftsmanship guarantee. If your item fails due to a fault in materials or workmanship, I will repair, replace or refund it free of charge. This does not cover normal wear and tear, accidental damage or misuse. Your statutory rights under UK consumer law are not affected.
Product Appearance: Every item is handmade and finished individually. Slight variations in colour, texture and finish are a natural part of working with real leather and make each piece unique. Colours may also appear slightly different depending on your screen settings and lighting. Product photos are edited only minimally and are intended to represent the item as accurately as possible in terms of look and function.
