This unique leather belt in a black and white romantic style is handmade by Israeli designer Iris Shemesh. The decorative buckle is made of resin, a natural material, which gives the product its light weight and lustrous look. The special design is painstakingly imprinted on silk paper on a Zamak base. Iris uses a special technique that combines a range of materials, such as silk papers, fabric, strings and hand-painting. This special technique gives the final product its three-dimensional look.
