BRANCUSI

Experimental and Minimalist by design, the belt belt was inspired by the brass designs of the Romanian modernist sculptor Constantin Brâncuși. The soft adjustable belt strap is an ode to the 1970s design - when belts were more than an accessory, they were often the center piece that an outfit was styled around. The buttery soft leather allows for the belt to be worn relaxed around the hips or cinched to accent the waist. The Brancusi is for the woman with a sensibility to design, interested in an making a statement and who searches for an objects that impart character. Crafted in Italy.

Care: Your Déhanche belt was crafted using the most luxurious skins, which have unique tonal variations, marks, or veins that are natural features and should be considered characteristics of your product, not imperfections.

To ensure that your belt ages beautifully, we recommend following these care instructions:

- Avoid exposing it to water, oil, perfume, or cosmetic products. If your belt does come into contact with water, gently blot it with a soft, light-colored absorbent cloth.
- Keep it away from excessive heat and intense light.
- Refrain from rubbing it against rough or abrasive surfaces, as this may cause light scratches. Instead, gently massage any scratches with a soft, dry cloth.
- When not in use, store your Déhanche belt in its protective velvet bag. Avoid storing it in hot, humid, or poorly ventilated areas, and never store it in a plastic bag.

Fit: Adjustable, can be worn tight at the waist or low around the hips.

Responsible measures: Vegetable leather treated without the use of chrome metals. Zamak alloy metal buckle which can be entirely melted down and reused.

Determining the size of a belt to wear can vary depending on if you like to wear it higher on the waist or lower around the hips. On each product page, we have a size calculator that helps you understand what size we recommend.

Another way to determine your appropriate belt size is to measure a belt that you already own. Start the tape measure at the second hole from the end measure to where it meets the buckle and round to the nearest centimeter. If you measure 80 centimeters, you will need a size Small. 

If you want to style the belt over outerwear, we suggest you order one size up

The carbon emission of the Brancusi belt has been calculated in collaboration with Doconomy and the 2030 Calculator. The entire carbon emission of this belt includes the mining for metals of the buckles, all production and transportation and also the methane emissions during the animal’s lifespan. Déhanche has calculated the carbon emission as 39.27kg CO2e, or 0.04 tons. Based on the recommendation of Doconomy, we have benchmarked our internal carbon tax at $130 per ton.

For each belt purchased, we are committed to investing $5 in decarbonization microprojects in collaboration with Milkywire’s Climate Transformation Fund.
