Bangkok-based architect and designer Florian Gypser teams up with Li Murphy, Daniel Katanneck and Awais Hussain to create these high-quality, minimally designed leather belts.

The Baelts project kicked off around the end of last year, when they got the design for a buckle-free belt off the ground selling at pop-up markets and at Gypser’s Chinatown shop where you can get bespoke details embossed on the spot.

Each of the eye-catching, vegetable-tanned belts is made from full-grain water buffalo leather with silver studs to keep things in check.

Now the project is on Kickstarter, too—visit www.baelts.com or www.facebook.com/baelts for the story and to invest in the business’s future. To visit the workshop, call 085-904-6996.

The basic belt (without embossing) starts at around B1,500.
