POOL

A great insert in Expansion Magazine for our beautiful Mobius belts currently being sold in Pool located in Spain, for those who don’t speak spanish we have translated it for you…

“Compliments are rarely used for the ‘Do-it-yourself” lovers in the fashion world. But this is the challenge that the English craftsman Bill Amberg has launched for his customers with his ‘Mobius’ Belt. This is a model that is sold unassembled in a wooden crate where you can find all the pieces needed to achieve the end result…

…The belt was inspired by the world of Motorbikes which Bill Amberg is passionate about. The pieces of aluminium have been specially constructed to emulate the parts of powerful motorbikes…

…The idea is a nod to those who love to assemble and disassemble the parts of any object, with just an allen wrench to create the buckle…”

We marked the release of our new products from the “Build a…” concept where we worked with the Searcy of London Club to develop colourful dog accessories made from bridle leather, cast buckles and bungee elastic cord which could be embossed or customised for that added personal touch.
