Pampeano Polo Belt Paramo

The earthy, natural tones of the colour scheme for this luxury leather polo belt come from the páramos – high treeless plateaus – of La Pampa, Argentina, where pampeano was born.

Pampeano’s leather is of the highest grade, hand-selected in Argentina by highly skilled craftsmen for its thickness, smooth surface and perfect quality. It is then vegetable-tanned and tumbled in a lengthy and traditional process using natural dyes which creates exquisite, buttery results. 

As the leather ages, it warms and softens, only improving with time. The iconic ‘pampa’ designs are synonymous with pampeano. Originally used to provide polo teams with their team colours during matches, these polo belt patterns are a traditional example of South American artistry. Completed by local master artisans using a hand-process which cannot be replicated by machine, the Aztec diamonds were first inspired by the peaks and troughs of the Andes Mountains and the stunning landscapes which surround them. To this day, pampeano’s South American artisans still hand-weave each pampeano polo belt, in a meticulous process which takes up to five hours to complete each one.
