Here, just steps away from Italy's famous Motor Valley, we conceived this belt while watching prototypes and supercars like yours zoom by every day.

What More Could You Ask For ?
In a small workshop in Northern Italy, we created this belt because we believe
Sports Car Drivers Have Unique Needs
and nobody knows that better than Italians.
This exclusive handcrafted leather belt, inspired by the world of luxury sports cars, is more than an accessory; it's a statement.
It bridges the gap between owning a supercar and embodying the essence of that world in your daily life.
Whether you're at the wheel or stepping out of your prized vehicle, this belt is the missing piece of your automotive journey, and it's waiting for you.
Sometimes the passion that men can feel for sports cars goes beyond basic appreciation, and it becomes something that is part of their lifestyle.
Steering Wheel-Shaped Belt Buckle
The classic three-spoke steering wheel, recognizable by all motorsports and racing fans, reproduced as a belt buckle and produced in only 250 pieces.
Carbon Fiber-Look Leather
This leather is produced only occasionally and on-demand, and comes from one of the 2 biggest Italian leather districts. The recognizable two-tone diagonal pattern typical of carbon fiber is carefully reproduced.
100% Made in Italy
Too often we find shops full of products labeled ‘Made in Italy’ that are actually only partially assembled in Italy at best. For us, Made in Italy means something that is designed, developed, created, finished and packaged by artisans who are Italian and work in Italy.
This is a Limited Edition with a maximum production of 250

Meet the artisan and read why this belt is so important for us
Once upon a time, in a serene village in northern Italy during the 1950s, there lived a humble family. Within that family were two brothers: Roberto and Silvano. Growing up in a world where hard work was the norm, Roberto and Silvano learned from a young age the craft of leatherworking, a skill their father had passed down to them. They crafted small leather goods that they sold at local markets and village shops. They may not have had much, but they had their family and a passion for their craft.
Their love for leather grew with them, and the scent of tanned leather became an essence of their lives. But there was something else that ignited their souls: Italian sports cars. They had heard of legends like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati. Since childhood, they dreamt of driving one, of feeling the power of the engine and the elegance of the aerodynamic lines. However, they were growing up in a world where the luxury of owning a supercar was beyond their reach, so they remained faithful to their passion for the artisanal work of leathercraft.
Occasionally, they would take a walk in the famous Italian Motor Valley and watch the sports cars zooming down the road. It was like seeing their dream brush past them, always just out of reach. But they never gave up. At the pinnacle of their careers, when they finally had the time and perhaps the resources to afford one of these supercars, retirement age was looming. They realized that their dream of owning, but even driving, one of these marvels had perhaps slipped away. They decided that if they could never afford one of those coveted cars, they would still bring a bit of that excitement into the lives of those who did own them.
And so, this belt was born, one of a kind, utilizing genuine Italian leather with a carbon fiber look, a distinctive feature of supercars. The buckle, specially designed, mimics a three-spoke steering wheel, the quintessential symbol of historic sports cars. Each belt is meticulously handcrafted with care and devotion and can be further customized to ensure that each one is unique, just like the buyer's vehicle.
Today, Roberto and Silvano have never purchased a supercar, but crafting these belts is like taking a ride in each of those sports cars they've dreamt of all their lives. Each belt carries a piece of their dream, a work of art that reflects their dedication to craftsmanship, creativity, Italian excellence, and the history of Italian sports car racing.
Roberto and Silvano want to demonstrate that even though they may not have driven those coveted and cherished supercars, their story is an ode to art, passion, and social redemption. It's an example of how with humility, dedication, and passion, life's challenges can transform into great opportunities and how even a simple piece of leather can become a dream come true.
