Measure correctly

Tips for measuring: The circumference measured at the height of the belt loop plus an additional 13 cm gives the correct belt length. Example: Circumference 91 cm plus 13 cm gives 104 cm. The optimal belt length in this case is 105 cm.

Belt as a gift: An existing belts can also be measured: The length from the buckle to the most commonly used belt hole corresponds to Hip circumference, i.e. take this length and add 13cm, which gives the belt length.

 

Caution: Never measure the entire belts , as belts have belt ends of different lengths.

Leather from sustainable deer hunting

The raw material comes from wild red deer from Switzerland that have been sustainably hunted (no farmed deer). Therefore, traces of wild life such as scars, skin folds or small injuries give the leather its unique appearance. The valuable wild hides are left as natural as possible.

Traditional tanning

Due to the close cooperation with the tannery Zeller from the Bernese Oberland, the traditional barrel tanning without synthetic pre-tanning agents and the use of vegetable tanning agents from Europe could be reactivated. In this way, the ecological deerskin is created in a process lasting 2 months.

To this end, the use of metal salts such as chrome sulphate and synthetic dyes is completely dispensed with during the tanning process, and chemical additives are reduced to an absolute minimum. Likewise, no superficial finishes or varnishes are applied. The deerskin is tanned 100% with natural tanning agents, i.e. with extracts of plants, fruits and woods.

Material

- belts black / dark brown: deerskin CH (front), calfskin IT (back)
- belts light brown: deerskin CH (back & front)

Handmade in St. Moritz & Appenzell

Since deerskin skins are somewhat thinner and the skins are also smaller than cowhide, the deerskin belts must first be double-stitched and, in the case of longer belts, also set on. This step takes place in Tabea's manufactory in St. Moritz.

In the last step we return to the workshop of Daniel Fuchs in Appenzell. The Appenzell belt made of deerskin is fitted with a unique special ornamental variant.
