Paris Rouge - Losco

Ceintures Losco, located in the Marais is  yet another specialty shop of fine craftsmanship you find all over Paris. The worktable, neat and orderly is where the exquisite leather belts are crafted. Also for purchase, many beautiful buckles. There is another location on rue de Sèvres in the 6eme.

Paris Rouge - Losco

I stumbled on this custom belt shop in the Marais one day and have been back since for more photos. The second trip, I had to do a bit of negotiating with them but was in the end, allowed to take a few more. I have no idea how much their custom belts cost, but it's a lovely place to visit just to see the beautiful leather strips and exquisite buckles. The workbench caught my eye as well.

Paris Rouge - Un tabouret

I've brought you to Losco's in the Marais, several times.  They sell only fine leather belts and a wide assortment of fabulous buckles.  I've been allowed photos in the past but this day Madame gave me a limit of two photos but I negotiated a little and got four. Ahhh the French.  Regardless, you must stop in and if nothing else have a look at the workbench along the wall and breathe in the rich smell of leather.

Le Plan de travail

Today we return to Ceintures Losco, in the Marais.  The workbench is in the main room and I was fascinated with how well it was organized, and of course the French touch....the roses.

L'artisan Ceinturier - Les Ceintures

It's a banner day here on my blog.  I'm so stingy with my photographs that I RARELY post more than one. ( Humor me, I fear my photos will run out before I can return to Paris!)  That said, I thought these two told the story so well. Look at these fabulous belts.  How would you choose?

Now do you see what the jars held yesterday?

Tomorrow: Les boucles!

L'artisan Ceinturier - The Workbench

Just inside the doorway, the artisan's workbench. Of course the red bucket of roses was the pièce de résistance!  Only in Paris......

L'artisan Ceinturier - The Look

I've been saving a small group of photos from this belt shop in the Marais since June, 2010.   I love the small specialty shops I find in Paris.  The craftsmanship is remarkable and made and displayed with such care.  Losco carries only handcrafted leather belts and buckles. Today my archive photo.  What I didn't realize was that I had piqued someone's curiosity!

I think it might be nice to keep this group of photographs together in a series,  so come back tomorrow to have a look at his workbench.
