Belts, ties, and watches are known as the three major accessories for men, and now they have long been not only used to fix clothes, but have evolved into fashion trend decorations, and are often regarded as a symbol of men's identity and taste in modern life.
 
In the men's belt market, Zilli, a luxury menswear brand born in 1965, is second to none. On the world luxury stage, Zilli is not attached to a luxury group, but still retains a family-run model, and is also the first menswear brand to be certified by the French government as an "Enterprise of Living Cultural Heritage (EPV)" in the haute couture and ready-to-wear categories, along with Chanel, Guerlain and Bacarat.
 
Zilli initially focused on the production of luxury leather jackets, and it was with its high-profile leather jackets that Zilli became a pioneer in men's clothing in one fell swoop, and has since been favored by celebrities from all walks of life, such as Prince Charles, Putin, Tyson, etc. After launching the first South American leather jacket in 1973, Zilli launched a crocodile leather jacket in 1982, and since then has embarked on the road of the ultimate pursuit of rare leathers, purchasing original and rare leathers from major auctions around the world, such as glossy lambskin, suede calfskin, western leather, crocodile skin, python skin, ostrich skin, kangaroo skin, deerskin and other materials.
 
Today, Zilli includes a complete menswear line of clothing accessories, bags, shoes, jewellery and more, but the best of them is still the leather jacket, which has become a classic for the brand with its signature "gold brick" zipper closure. Its crocodile leather jackets cost millions of dollars each, which is very luxurious.
 
Although Zilli belts are not as famous as leather jackets, they definitely represent the level of the brand. In contrast to the rich variety of leathers in leather jackets, Zilli's belts focus on crocodile and calfskin. Rare leathers such as crocodile skin highlight their value as an identity and artistic appreciation, and their value mainly depends on the rarity, and their performance is related to the crocodile species, the location of the skin, and the processing method. Zilli's crocodile leather belts are made from the finest crocodile in the crocodile species, Porosus, with a uniform leather pattern and dense slub patterns. However, the bay crocodile has a fierce temperament and kills each other, and can usually only be caught in the wild or kept in a single cage, and the bay crocodile leather goods are monopolized by a few luxury groups such as Zilli and LVMH, so they are expensive. The Zilli crocodile strap is taken from the belly of the bay crocodile, which is cut from a single piece of crocodile skin, without the need for leather panels, and is extremely luxurious, and is generally sold for 3,300 euros.
 
Zilli's cowhide belt is made of high-quality first-layer calfskin, calfskin because of its small pore grain and clear texture, it is a high-grade variety of cowhide, the leather is soft and smooth, and can be matched with business formal wear, and the price is about 690 euros.
 
Exclusive and luxurious leather raw materials are a hallmark of Zilli's specialty, but it is the combination of high-quality raw materials and exquisite leather craftsmanship that continues to be successful in the luxury world. Zilli's expertise in the handling of rare leathers is very sophisticated, and the production of belts is strictly controlled from the selection of leather, tanning, cutting, sewing to subsequent finishing, all of which have two layers of leather lining, from finishing the leather edges of the belts, polishing the rounded corners, and finally fitting the buckles by hand by the craftsmen of the Lyon workshop. And pay attention to details, such as the belt edge is finely dyed, so that the color of the edge is consistent with the color of the front and back leather.
 
The Zilli buckle is made by skilled watchmakers in the Besançon workshop, known as the "City of the French Watch Industry", and is polished several times before assembly, then filled with a bas-relief of the logo on the outside of the buckle with a lacquered needle, and finally polished with a brush. Zilli belts can be customized according to the customer's requirements, and the belt buckle can be pure gold or gemstone, or it can be a simple pin buckle style, although luxurious but restrained.
