Erd Large Snake Belt Bordeaux & White Bronze

Erd Large Snake Belt Bordeaux & White Bronze

The ERD Large Snake Belt Bordeaux & White Bronze binds the body in the colour of old wine and clasps it shut with two serpents that have been trying to swallow each other since the metal cooled — a belt that holds nothing together except the agreement that falling apart should look deliberate.

The strap is cut in a wider profile from smooth, full-grain leather in a deep bordeaux — the particular shade of burgundy that exists between dried blood and the last glass poured before someone says something irreversible. The hide carries a softly matte, naturally grained surface with the subtle tonal variation of leather that has been dyed through rather than coated, revealing the material’s organic character across every centimetre. No stitching, no edge binding, no ornamentation interrupts the strap — the leather is left to speak in a single unbroken sentence that terminates at the buckle.

And the buckle speaks louder. A large, three-dimensional sculptural piece cast in antiqued white bronze depicts two serpents locked in a coiling embrace, their scaled bodies wrapping through and around one another into an interlocking oval frame. The casting is dense and heavily textured — each snake rendered with individually articulated scales in a stippled, almost granular surface treatment that catches light in every crevice and ridge. Both heads are fully modelled with open jaws and defined fangs, their expressions frozen between feeding and fighting, permanently entangled in a clasp that was never designed to release. A concealed prong mechanism sits within the serpent frame, and the strap feeds through with multiple punch holes for adjustment.

Constructed from premium full-grain leather with a hand-finished cast-metal buckle in antiqued white bronze. The wider strap width gives this piece the visual weight of a statement belt — an anchor point for any silhouette it intersects rather than a background detail. Each unit is individually hand-finished within a strictly limited micro-batch production. Spot clean the leather only with a soft dry cloth; avoid water, oils, perfume, and direct heat; keep all hardware dry and store in a dust bag — consult full garment care guidance.

Enfants Riches Déprimés — French for “Depressed Rich Kids” — was founded in 2012 by conceptual artist Henri Alexander Levy. The house welds 1970s French avant-garde tailoring to raw punk nihilism, issuing hyper-exclusive isolating objects that forge their hardware from the same mythology that taught humanity to associate serpents with knowledge and punishment in the same breath.

Crafted across Los Angeles (USA), Italy, and Japan. Each piece is individually hand-finished within a strictly limited micro-batch — buckled at the intersection of devotion and venom.

Two mouths. No exit. The belt stays fastened.

FAQ

What material is the ERD Large Snake Belt Bordeaux & White Bronze made from?
Premium full-grain leather in deep bordeaux with a naturally grained, matte surface. The buckle is cast in antiqued white bronze with a heavily textured, stippled scale finish — individually detailed and hand-finished with the density and weight of devotional metalwork.

How does this belt differ from the ERD Black & White Bronze version?
The Large Snake Belt uses a wider leather strap in bordeaux rather than black, and the unstitched, clean-edge construction gives it a rawer, more minimal profile. The sculptural twin-serpent buckle is the same white-bronze casting but reads differently against the warm burgundy leather — the contrast between hide and metal is heightened.

How should I care for this belt?
Spot clean the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth only. Avoid all contact with water, oils, perfume, and heat. Keep the white-bronze buckle dry to prevent tarnishing. Store in a dust bag when not being worn.

Where is this belt manufactured?
Production spans Los Angeles (USA), Italy, and Japan, with each piece — including the cast serpent buckle — individually hand-finished.

Is the Large Snake Belt a limited release?
Yes. All Enfants Riches Déprimés accessories are produced in strictly limited micro-batches. The sculptural cast-bronze buckle and hand-finishing process restrict production quantities further. Once a run is sold through, the design is permanently discontinued.
