LAKOTA
Available in three colors: BLACK and OXBLOOD as pictured, plus WHISKY.
The Allure of KREIS Cordovan Military Dress Belts
KREIS, a brand renowned for its robust and high-quality leather goods crafted by skilled German artisans. This latest offering utilizes carefully selected cordovan from the American HORWEEN company, produced in Frankfurt, Germany. What appears to be a substantial material is transformed into an elegant piece through a deliberate 25mm width design. HORWEEN's oil-rich cordovan, despite its thickness, is characterized by its surprising suppleness and deep luster.

A Small Buckle Creates a Refined Look
The buckle, the focal point of the belt, is a compact, modern interpretation of military designs. Its matte finish is understated, blending seamlessly into the overall aesthetic for a polished finish.
The lining uses German BENZ (cowhide), the same material as our standard models. However, due to the small buckle, extensive testing was conducted to achieve an exquisite thickness. The leather master's skill in thinning the leather to its limit while maintaining strength results in a soft feel and a texture that drapes beautifully with clothing when worn.
Paired with a suit or slim trousers, it creates a balanced and elegant ensemble. With work pants or looser silhouettes, it offers a slightly more casual, classic vibe. The KREIS cordovan military dress belt, fully showcasing the material's inherent qualities, is available at the LAKOTA HOUSE Aoyama store. It will also be available on the rumors webshop.
