Leather is one of the oldest and most widely used materials in fashion, valued for its durability and cultural significance. In Brazil, it connects diverse regional identities, linking traditions from the Northeast to the South. In the Northeast, cangaceiros used leather for protection, creating bold and iconic visual elements that inspire the piece’s patterns. In the South, within gaúcho culture, leather plays a key role in equestrian life, especially through guasqueria, a traditional braiding technique reflected in the design. The choice of a belt pouch highlights one of humanity’s oldest accessories, valued for its practicality and ability to keep hands free, bridging historical function with contemporary fashion.
