This classic leather belt is an easy add-on to any look, allowing you to get just the. right. fit. In 1992, Canadian designer Scott Irvine began selling his handcrafted leather goods as a street vendor in Toronto. A year later, he began building Brave, his ethically designed and crafted accessories brand. Each piece is made in Canada using leather that is a by-product of the food industry, with only water-based dyes and adhesives.
