Each piece, every belt is genuinely crafted by hand, taking the necessary time to ensure its quality and warmth. Our dedication to handmade craftsmanship guarantees the finest products for our customers. In addition, the belt holes are made using manual punch tools. We only use sewing machines to craft the belts, ensuring precise and uniform cuts.

At Ada Collection, every aspect of our belt production is carefully planned. We avoid excessive production and large stockpiles, focusing instead on a specific, well-managed output. Mass production is not our approach; instead, we have various sales channels with predetermined production quantities. We follow a zero-waste philosophy, ensuring that nothing is produced unnecessarily and wasted. Every item we make serves a purpose.

The leather we use is vegetable-tanned and chrome-free. Chromium is typically used in the initial stage of leather production to remove hair from cowhide, but we ensure that the percentage of chromium used is within the legally permitted limits in Argentina and internationally, keeping it to a minimum. Chromium is a major water pollutant, and every six months, we test our leather suppliers to ensure they comply with these low chromium percentage standards.

The leather we use comes from byproducts of the large meat industry in Argentina, specifically from frigoríficos (meatpacking plants). In Argentina, leather is a secondary product, with meat being the primary focus. (To obtain leather with fewer imperfections, we are now requesting hides from smaller animals that have had less exposure to outdoor elements, resulting in leather with fewer blemishes). Also, to promote leather recycling, we sometimes purchase leather remnants to make use of what is already available in the market.

Yes! Our DUST BAG not only does it protect the leather, but it also serves as a case for you to store the belt. Many people also use it as a mini travel bag for cosmetics or makeup.
