Sustainability
100% Italian Craftsmanship
From tanning to hardware production, every belt is made in Italy by family-owned businesses that prioritize artisanal quality and sustainable practices.
Sustainably Sourced Leather
We exclusively use leather from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG), guaranteeing ethical production and environmental stewardship.
Recyclable Hardware
Our metal hardware is made from both, Brass and Zinc Alloy, which are durable and corrosion-resistant materials that are fully recyclable, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
Care
Your Didamie piece is more than an accessory; it’s a handcrafted piece designed to grow more beautiful with time. To preserve its character and ensure its longevity, we recommend these thoughtful care practices:
Nourish & Protect
Leather is a living, organic material that develops a unique patina with use. To maintain its charm, apply a leather-protective spray every 2–4 weeks to repel moisture and dirt. Every three months, treat it with a leather conditioner to retain its softness and reduce the visibility of scratches. These practices not only safeguard the leather but also celebrate its natural features.
Handle with Care
Leather is sensitive to elements like water, intense heat, and chemicals (e.g., hand sanitizers), which can alter its texture and color. In the event of accidental exposure to water, gently pat the belt dry with a soft cloth to prevent staining or bubbling. To preserve lighter shades, avoid prolonged contact with raw or dark textiles that might transfer dye.
Rest & Store
When not in use, let your belt rest in a cool, dry place, ideally in its protective dust bag. Close any hardware and use cushions, tissue paper, or bubble wrap to maintain its shape. Avoid sharp objects and overly tight storage spaces that might deform or scratch it. Leather, like all fine materials, thrives on balance—excess humidity, dryness, or light exposure can be detrimental.
