PACKED WITH FEATURES

The Craftmark Belt is a game-changer that transforms how belts are traditionally worn, as current reversible belt offerings are not micro-adjustable, and micro-adjustable belts are not reversible.

Easy-twist magnetic system makes it easy to switch between premium vegetable-tanned leather and sophisticated Saffiano leather to easily suit any occasion, making it effectively two belts in one. With a simple swivel of the belt, you can effortlessly switch between a professional look for work and a smart casual look for dress down days and weekends. Travelling light and in style is possible with this highly versatile all-in-one belt.

EXPERTLY ENGINEERED

We designed the belt to fit your lifestyle and needs. Unlike current adjustable belt offerings, rubber tracks and manual locking buttons are not required, which in turn makes reversibility possible.


Quality stainless steel buckle features a smart-locking system that enables micro-adjustments, allowing the buckle to be locked anywhere along the belt body. With micro-adjustability, the belt easily and discreetly micro-adjusts to fit fluctuations in waist sizes throughout the day, including after a heavy meal. This ensures perfect fit and ultimate comfort at all times.

DESIGNED TO INNOVATE

Combining both reversibility with micro-adjustability, it is the first 2-in-1 reversible belt with a smart-locking function that enables a custom micro-adjustable fit.

With the unique smart-locking and reverse system, the Craftmark Belt is a game changer that combines a multitude of functions to provide versatility and convenience.

HAND-STAINED VEGETABLE-TANNED LEATHER

We source our leather carefully. We only use premium-quality, natural leather in our products to promise great performance.  To ensure the Craftmark Belt meets our high standard, the vegetable-tanned side of the belt is made of full-grain leather. Full-grain leather is the best quality grade of leather and belongs to the top layer of the cowhide. It is very strong and durable as it contains the strongest fibres in the hide. In addition, it is also very breathable which minimises moisture retention. 

With a minimal amount of treatment, the vegetable-tanned leather is hand-stained with natural pigments and eco-solvents to produce an astounding color. This artisanal process takes advantage of the tannic acids naturally found in some plant species by using the barks, branches, leaves, and even some fruits. Because of this, the Craftmark Belt develop a beautiful patina over time.

Made from premium-quality, durable, natural leather, the Craftmark Belt is made with a "chromium-free" method that does not use harmful chemicals.

The Craftmark Belt will age beautifully over time like a “fine wine”, even when worn daily.

What is Patina?

Patina is a unique and beautiful characteristic of genuine leather marked by the gradual and natural darkening of vegetable-tanned leather over time with use and exposure.

No patina is the same, making each Barnns product truly unique and personal to every user. Patina is especially prominent in vegetable-tanned leather, which is a traditional method of tanning leather dating back to approximately 6000 BCE.

How Vegetable-tanned leather is made

1

Pre-tanning

Before starting the tanning process, the hides have to go through the beamhouse treatment. This term is derived from the beams where hides are dried, de-haired, and cleaned.

2

Tanning

The hides will be treated with natural tannins comprising of tree barks, leaves, or plant oils, to stabilize the protein structure of the skin. Great care is needed to ensure the hides get full absorption.

3

Dyeing and Finishing

The tanned leather are then dyed with rich colours. Conditioning oils and waxes are applied on the leather to give astounding finishes and enhance its durability. Finally, the dyed leather is ironed and staked to soften it further.
