The Magic of Africa Belt
The BBC Planet Earth Series really got to me and I wanted to bring some of that magic of our natural world to my belts. Africa was the first belt in my "The Magic of" series.

African Continent Fun Fact:
The Baobab Tree Can Store Over 30,000 Gallons of Water
Found across sub-Saharan Africa, especially in countries like Madagascar, Senegal, and South Africa, the baobab is often called the “Tree of Life.” Its thick, spongey trunk stores tens of thousands of gallons of water, helping it survive harsh droughts. It also provides fruit, bark, and shelter—making it a vital resource for both animals and people.
Our signature product that started it all.

Belt life and care instructions:
Like any belt you will see more wear in the middle of your belt where it curves to your body, and where the buckle connects to the leather when cinched. Belts that don't curve to your body generally have a synthetic core. Our belts are 100% natural full grain leather. NO split leather, NO composite leather.
- Leather belt gets slightly wet - Wipe off with clean cloth.
- Leather belt gets soaking wet - Do not wear while wet. Lay flat to dry. Do not apply heat.
- Leather belt gets dirty - Use a lightly damp soft cloth to wipe away dirt. Let air dry.
What to expect:
All leather belts curve and form to your body as natural leather should. Your belt will show more wear and tear where it connects to the buckle and where it ineracts with your belt loops.
Graphic images are embedded IN the leather using our super secret process. The leather is protected with three coatings of our proprietary sealant making it scratch and water resistant. Think of it like a tattoo in leather.
As the leather naturally darkens with age, the images will darken proportionally. Think about your brown leather shoes or leather jacket… they get a little darker with age.
