Nowadays, Belcinto produces a large range of items, presenting in each new season a diverse portfolio of belts for man, woman and children, braces, lady’s bags, briefcases, travel goods and caps, among others.

Mostly made in leather of the most superior quality, Belcinto's products are profoundly recognised by the consumer as products of high quality and robustness.

The company counts with around 65 workers, who are craftsmen with an extensive experience and mastering of the arts of the leather, which allow them to transform leather in products with the Belcinto soul.
