Luxe Alligator Belt
By Norisol FerrariMeticulously constructed from one long piece of skin from the animal’s spine, this fully adjustable belt fastens with a braided leather cord. Take it from us—this is the kind of quietly spectacular accessory that the well-curated wardrobe is built on.
THE STORY
Norisol Ferrari's handcrafted leathers and furs beautifully embody the notion of “second skin." Not only for their flawless fit but for how well they complement their owners’ individual sensibilities and styles. A distinctive combination of rocker-chic and classic men’s haberdashery (with subtle Gothic and Victorian references), the collection is imbued with a rich sense of history and a visionary modernism.
Perfectly poised between form and function, these designs exhibit no gratuitous gestures, leaning toward a refined utility instead. Pockets in all the right places accommodate everything from iPads to handkerchiefs. Substantial cashmere linings are covered in silk. In addition to lambskin, alligator, deerskin, mink, sable, fox and Persian lamb, Norisol works with Chantilly lace, cashmere, wool and silk faille. Each piece is made by hand in New York and bears a long leather tag inside inscribed with the signatures of the craftspeople involved in its labor-intensive construction. It’s a tribute to these skilled artisans and their exquisite workmanship, and a reminder of the unique beauty that can be wrought only by the human hand.
Utterly unique and made to order in her SoHo atelier—where Ferrari herself was kind enough to model for us—these are investment pieces that will last you a lifetime.
