North Yorkshire leather smith launches belt range to combat fast fashion

Founded in January 2020, just six weeks before the country went into a national lockdown, North Yorkshire-based entrepreneur and luxury leather smith Coupland Leather has launched a range of belts designed to be the season’s hottest accessory, for men and women of all tastes.

Each belt in the new collection is handcrafted to order, ensuring that every piece is unique and built to last. The men’s belts are crafted from high-quality bridle leather, known for its durability and rich texture, while the women’s belts are made from smooth full-grain leather, providing a sleek and elegant finish. This dedication to using the finest materials ensures that the belts not only look good but also stand the test of time.

Managing Director, Stuart Coupland said: “Coupland Leather has always been about creating quality items that last. Our new CL belt buckles are designed to bring a touch of elegance and sophistication to our women’s collection, making high-quality fashion more accessible.”

Founded by Stuart Coupland in 2018, Coupland Leather transitioned to a full-time operation at the start of 2020, just six weeks before the UK entered a national lockdown. Despite these challenging beginnings, the company has experienced remarkable growth over the past four years, shipping products to over 20 countries and 17 states in the US. Specialising in high-quality leather products designed for longevity and elegance, Coupland Leather offers a wide selection of wallets, bags, vehicle tracker holders, and accessories, all handcrafted to order and customisable.

Understanding that every customer is unique, Coupland Leather offers extensive personalisation options. Customers can have their belts cut to fit perfectly and choose the colour of both the leather and the stitching. This bespoke approach ensures that each belt is a perfect match for the individual’s style and needs.

Stuart Coupland , the Founder and Managing Director of Coupland Leather , has been recognised as a finalist for the Great British Entrepreneur Awards in November, in the category of Maker and Creator Entrepreneur of the Year.
