Erd Small Snake Belt Black & White Bronze

Erd Small Snake Belt Black & White Bronze

The ERD Black & White Bronze Belt coils two serpents into a frame buckle and lets them hold you together — an ouroboros that forgot how to finish the loop, frozen mid-swallow in oxidised metal at the centre of your waist like a clasp for a body that was never meant to stay closed.

The strap is cut from smooth, stitched black leather with a clean, refined profile — tonal edge stitching running both lengths of the belt in a detail that elevates the construction beyond raw punk into the territory of atelier leatherwork. The surface is unblemished, unadorned, and entirely surrendered to the buckle that commands it. And the buckle commands everything: a three-dimensional sculptural piece cast in antiqued white-bronze depicting two serpents intertwined into an interlocking oval frame, their scaled bodies wrapping over and under one another in a knot that reads as both embrace and strangulation. Each snake head is individually detailed — open-mouthed, fanged, textured with individually rendered scales that catch light across every coil. The casting has the weight and oxidised finish of devotional metalwork, closer to a reliquary clasp than a fashion accessory. A single-prong mechanism is concealed within the serpent frame, and the strap feeds through with multiple punch holes for adjustment.

Constructed from premium leather with a hand-finished cast-metal buckle in antiqued white bronze. The slim width and sculptural hardware position this piece at the threshold between belt and jewellery — functional restraint dressed in mythological excess. Each unit is individually hand-finished within a strictly limited micro-batch production. Spot clean the leather with a soft dry cloth only; avoid water, oils, perfume, and direct heat; keep all hardware dry and store in a dust bag when not worn — see full garment care guidance.

Enfants Riches Déprimés — French for “Depressed Rich Kids” — was founded in 2012 by conceptual artist Henri Alexander Levy. The label crashes 1970s French avant-garde tailoring into raw punk nihilism, producing hyper-exclusive isolating objects that borrow their hardware from mythology and their silhouettes from the kind of people who wear snakes because they stopped trusting anything warm-blooded.

Crafted across Los Angeles (USA), Italy, and Japan. Each piece is individually hand-finished within a strictly limited micro-batch — buckled for the long constriction.

The snakes do not let go. That was never part of the design.

How should I care for this belt?
Spot clean the leather with a soft, dry cloth only. Avoid exposure to water, oils, perfume, and heat. Keep the white-bronze buckle hardware dry to preserve its antiqued finish. Store in a dust bag when not being worn.
