Here at Elliot Rhodes we have always been fond of our mock croc effect belts€¦this incarnation takes us back some 14 years to when we started out and over the last year we have gradually been resurrecting it in some new colour tones. For this season we have introduced this sumptuous deep Burgundy tone. As with so many of our mock croc belts this belt has the wonderful advantage of a range of darker and lighter burgundy tones which when added to the texture with its mix of smooth flank, raised spines and darker veins gives the belt some real character and depth whilst also making it easy to tone in with all sorts of outfits. Of course this particular belt is not only about the leather, but also its partnership with the gunmetal lion design Swarovski encrusted buckle. The two together make a formidable pairing and a truly stand out belt design. Of course you may wonder when you will use a belt like this - well, to my mind a burgundy belt like this it is the perfect way to add colour and life to monochrome outfits, or to work tonally with warm earthy toned looks, or liven up denim. The buckle is surprisingly versatile - dress him up or dress him down to taste and prepare to get admiring glances!
