Love and a culture of excellence,
from leather to finished product.

We produce leather items that meet the highest standards in taste and style, quality and practicality. It’s a complex and passionate task that requires patience, to bring to each object the skills and vision gained over time, developed through years of experience, heightened by the use of state-of-the-art technical solutions.

The job begins with the design phase, when the Venta Cinture stylists work independently or alongside the client’s designers.
Decisions regarding materials, colours and details are taken a whole year before the product can be considered finished.
Raw materials are certified, as is their production, which uses the very latest environmentally friendly methods. These are vegetable-tanned leathers from the best Tuscan suppliers, and hides tanned with natural products such as quebracho wood, mimosa bark and bovine animal fat.
We also use reticulated python and crocodile.
We devote the same care and attention to our selection and processing of buckles, end caps and other metal elements. Some are made of solid silver, hand-decorated with enamels and semi-precious stones like turquoise, agate, tiger’s eye and citrine, or horn and mother-of-pearl.

Once the prototype is completed, the process takes various paths, customised for every batch, and with utmost respect for the fact that leather is a living thing: during this phase we reveal and optimise its qualities using techniques and finishes in which skilled hands and precision machinery intersect to bring out the best.

Cutting is still done by hand, as is stitching and embroidery, using leather or waxed cotton to create small decorative designs. More distinctive and unusual decorations are achieved using the ancient art of crochet and fine leather strips.
The belt is made from a single continuous strip, even when braiding and knotting are used.
Traditional manual methods are used to imprint shapes and decorations by light incision with a burin (engraving), and effects such as graduated shading and ageing are achieved by buffing.

An airbrush is used to give the leather the desired shade and nuances, while various techniques - all of them traditional manual methods - are employed in the true artistic decoration which makes every belt unique.
Finishing is done with natural waxes, ensuring the precise degree of opacity or shine required.
