CASSATT

Every woman needs an Americana-inspired belt to wear when she wants to remember the summer time heat. The Intricate buckle design and accompanying clips frames a braided belt. It's country chic and is the type of belt that nods to our favorite golden California fields, strawberry wine and a hot august night. We like to wear it with a high waist jean, white crop tee and not a stitch of makeup.

Material: Braided calfskin leather and velvety nubuck leather backing

Hardware: Brushed silver hardware buckle, accents and tip

Dimensions 1.75 Tall, fits well with a standard jean

Care: Clean professionally by a leather specialist

Fit: Meant to be worn higher on the hips

Responsible measures: Vegetable leather without chrome metals. Zamak alloy metal 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 Cassatt belt has been calculated in collaboration with the Doconomy. The entire carbon emission of this belt includes the entire lifespan of the animal’s methane emissions, all transportation and production. Déhanche has calculated the carbon emission as 52.8kg CO2e, or 0.06 tons, a number we strive to reduce. 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 donating $8 to impactful microprojects that reduce and remove CO2 in collaboration with Milkywire’s Climate Transformation Fund.
