From day one at Steel Toe Studios we've made it a major part of our company's mission to be green and sustainable. We just didn't make a big deal out of it!
We primarily recycle and repurpose the majority of our buckle materials , and as a two woman business, we are about as fair and equal trade as you can get, everything is made right here in the US. Plus, we source 90% of our materials locally, yep, right here in sunny Seattle.
We strive to contribute modern, handmade, unique accessories to the indie fashion world, and to do it in a way that is conscientious and sustainable. Our work is produced with the highest regard to finish, quality crafstmanship and sustainable practices.
Our new recycled bike tube belt is, in our esteemed opinion, the best that is on the market. Designed and created in collaboration with our super talented friends at Alchemy Goods, the belt features a double tube construction with triple top stitching that provides durability without sacrificing style. Wear that old spare in style!
"Erica--Just wanted to let you know that the belt buckle arrived to much acclaim from the recipient. For a guy who's never been much into accessories, he *really* loves this one. He says knowing it comes from a female blacksmith makes it extra special for him. You've earned yourself some fans in Tallahassee!"
"I love your work - I can't wait to wear it."
"I was struggling to find a birthday present for my best friend and after seeing your buckles I looked no further. She is going to love it! I might purchase one for my brother in law too! thanks for making wearable art."
"The buckle that I bought is amazing. I will be recommending your work to everyone. I bought it as a gift for my girlfriend for her birthday. Thank you for such unique accessories."
"I surfed over to your website to find out what other treasures might be had. Fantastic work!"
"I've looked all over the states for nice belt buckles. Yours takes the cake."
"Your belts look fantastic - I can't wait to see them in person!"
