There was a time when mysterious serpent-like creatures guarded doorways, protecting those within from evil. They represented wisdom, healing and spiritual awakening, and gave comfort to anyone dwelling there.
Here at The Lodge Leather, we are blessed with two fine serpents, sitting calmly on the lintel for over 175 years. Now, this striking symbol has come to life on some of our products.
Hand cast in solid brass, these buckles are completely unique. Not only is the design a one-off, commissioned by us and made locally, each piece differs very slightly due to the casting process.
Measuring 47mm by 70mm, the Lodge Serpent buckle is both a statement piece and yet still subtle, barely bigger than a regular buckle. It is gently curved, both across and top to bottom to ensure a comfortable fit and to catch the light.
Seven months in the design and making, we're delighted to announce a few of the first, limited batch are still available. They can be bought on their own - to fit an existing belt - or supplied with one of our fine, custom-sized leather belts.
Scarf, neckerchief, bandana. Whatever you call yours, whatever the style, our scarf keeper is ideal for holding it together. It is made from textured, Carlo Badalassi leather, hand-stitched and embossed with our Lodge Serpent.
