Description

These are the belts that don’t blend in.

The Special Tire Belts are made from distinctive bicycle tires. Think worn race tires, rare patterns, or tires where internal layers have become visible after heavy use. Some come from high-performance racing models. Others show unusual textures or details that you don’t see every day.

Each belt is handmade in Vuigmakers’ workshop in Gouda. Because the source tires vary, so does the final look. Some belts are slightly wider. Some have visible pattern shifts. Some carry subtle graphic elements from the original tire.

They are delivered extra long and can be adjusted to your exact size. You can cut the belt yourself using the included instructions, or have it custom-sized before shipping.

If you’d like to learn more about how Vuigmakers selects and transforms specific discarded tires into wearable pieces, you can explore their full story via the maker page.

Who is this for

• For people who want a belt that stands out
• For those who appreciate unique material details that only come from real use

Out of the ordinary

Because these belts are made from distinctive tire types, patterns, internal layers or rare models can become visible. No two belts are exactly alike.
