Kreis Buffalo Leather Belt






General Information
A Robust Piece of Leather.
Buffalo leather is naturally robust and very resilient. Its grain has a typically striking and highly variegated structure which is especially noticeable in the male animals. For the upper leather of this double layer belt, Kreis uses buffalo leather of animals from smaller farms which are bred for their delicious, lean meat. The leather for the lining comes from the Kobel tannery in Kellinghusen, a small town in the countryside of Holstein. The seams of the belt are executed in a light contrasting colour.
Founded in 1963 in Offenbach by Erich Kreis, the Hessian leather manufacturer Kreis became specialised in belts early on. The firm is run today by Bernd Kreis, the son of the founder. He uses only full-grained leather: classic box calf and traditionally pit-tanned cow leather from Germany, saddle leather from England and the legendary Shell Cordovan horse leather from the Horween® tannery in Chicago. Kreis is one of the very few manufacturers of hand-made leather belts which still cultivates the time-consuming art of triple layer belt construction.
