TES announces limited edition ‘Artigiano’ Series belts
At TES, each piece is improved through manual craftsmanship to become a collector's item. The Italian luxury leather accessories brand has now announced the limited edition “Artigiano” series of hand hammered Damascus steel and alligator belts. Limited to 500 pieces, the Artigiano belt has been rolled out as part of the company’s Autumn/Winter 2012 Men’s Collection, which will be showcased at TRANOI during the Paris Menswear Fashion Week, from January 22 to 24, 2011. The belt pays tribute to the ideal of the craftsman. Lorenzo Vaccari, TES founder and Production Director, says…
Every now and then, I must remind myself that the belt was an object of absolute use, to hold up the pants of a man who was hard at work.It wouldn’t make sense to attach this Damanscus steel plate to a factory bought buckle. In order to be authentic, and truly call to mind the idea of the Artigiano who uses his own two hands to create what he needs I had to go through that process myself, carving the belt latch with old fashion tools and utilizing manual ingenuity.
The limited edition Artigiano belt makes use of valued materials like the beeswax treated alligator lined in the finest malleable calf leather and rarely used Damascus steel. On the reverse side of the best will be the series number in the format “1/500 Serie Artigiano Edizione Limitata 2011.”
The buyers, along with the Artigiano belt, will receive a certificate that guarantees the authenticity and series number.
