The old-school tie's association with the 'old boy's club' and elitism hasn't really done this traditional piece of attire any favours.  The negative media portrayal of these mean that they may not be accessories that everybody would proudly want to flaunt at social affairs. However, old school ties, or OST, to abbreviate, are symbols of both the history of one's school and one's history at their school, and are something that should be treasured.

So, Otto Originals have a solution to this problem. James and Charlotte, two siblings from Bristol, have decided to create a new, more subtle fashion accessory that celebrates the OST's tradition, but reinvigorates it with a creative, modern twist. At their Costwold's studio,  the skilled team at Otto Original's have come up with a way to transform one's OST into an eye-catching, one-of-a-kind belt, which uses the highest quality full-grain leather and solid brass buckles. Off-cut bracelets are also offered, and make the perfect gift for a friend or family member, at just £10. Most interestingly, Charlotte and James want each Otto Original belt/off-cut bracelet to be recognized for the exclusivity of each hand-made item, not the exclusivity of the school and therefore ensure that  each and every product is made with the greatest care and attention to detail.

We love Otto Originals belts so much that we're offering a discount to all our loyal readers!
