It has become my favorite belt, yet I wonder if the price is due to how much they have to pay for the bronze casting of the buckle. It is beautiful and I do think it will last me a lifetime. This is the 4th product I get from Kasperi, 5th if I count the wax, but sometimes I still feel this belt was priced too high, especially when compared to the two beautiful bags that probably took much more work to build and conceive. The shoulder straps alone have a similar construction and materials except for the bronze buckle. I also got the gloves, and even though the gloves come from Hungary, they probably take much more time and work to make than the belt that has the same price.
Do I love it? Yes. Do I think it is absolutely beautiful? Yes. Do I think I am paying too much because I love the brand and most of their products? Definitely.
It is starting to take its patina and I know it will eventually darken like the bag, which is something I like. I did buy it because of how pretty the buckle is, I sort of wish the bags closing mechanisms also looked like that, but I probably wouldn't have been able to afford them if they were also made of brass.
My conclusion is: if you love it as much as I do, go for it, it is a beautiful belt and it makes me happy whenever I wear it. But the price is high. The bags are well worth it, the gloves maybe, €150 for the belt? It's up to you to decide.
Sehr schöner und bestens verarbeiteter Gürtel mit einer interessanten Lösung der Gürtelschnalle.
Top; und wie gewohnt schnelle Lieferung.
I expected nothing less Kasperi as I own one of their beautiful packs. Belt is handsome, well made, and the textured bronze buckle is a work of art. Looking forward to other leather colors (hint, hint…) down the road.
