The Magic of Australia Belt
40 Million years of geographic isolation means the life in Australia has evolved seperately from the rest of the world. Some of that extraordinary life is shown on our Magic of Australia belt, by Priscilla Wilson.
Australian Continent Fun Fact:
The Cassowary Is a Living Dinosaur
Native to the rainforests of northeastern Australia, the cassowary is a massive, flightless bird that looks like it time-traveled from the Jurassic period. Standing up to 6 feet tall, it has shiny black feathers, a vivid blue and purple neck, and a tall, bony helmet-like crest on its head. With powerful legs and dagger-like claws, it can sprint through dense forest and is known to be surprisingly dangerous when provoked.

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.
