Most of what makes an outfit work is decided at the waist. In No Time To Die, Madeleine Swann’s belt is small, brown and almost unremarked, which is why it works. The & Other Stories croco leather belt is a slim strap of embossed leather with a gold metallic buckle, and it does what a good belt should: it finishes the clothes without competing with them.
In the film
Léa Seydoux’s Madeleine Swann wears the belt in Italy in No Time To Die (2021). She pairs it with an N.Peal brown cashmere shirt, white Agolde jeans and Church’s Kelsey sandals. Nothing else in the outfit is loud, and the belt keeps to that.
The details of the & Other Stories croco leather belt
Croco-embossed leather. The pattern is pressed into the leather, not printed on it. It gives a slim belt texture and depth, so it reads as a quiet surface rather than a statement.
A gold metallic buckle. The warm metal picks up the brown of the leather. Against white or cream it looks deliberate, not decorative.
Two loops. One loop is metal and one is leather. It is a small piece of finishing that holds the tail of the belt in place, and the metal loop echoes the buckle at the other end.
Wearing it now
The lesson of the film outfit is tonal dressing: brown and white, with one warm metal. We would follow it closely. Wear the belt with a fine-knit brown or sand top and pale trousers, or a linen shirt tucked into stone chinos. It suits a summer holiday best, where the rest of the clothes are plain and the belt is the one considered detail.
Match the leather to your shoes, or stay within a shade of them. Brown leather goes with brown sandals or suede loafers. Keep the buckle’s gold in step with any other metal you wear, a watch case or a ring, so the warmth looks planned.
Availability. We could not find this exact belt on sale new at the time of writing, October 2026, and we treat it as out of production; it is found second-hand. Check the buckle colour and the leather finish in the photographs, and the length against your waist. Current & Other Stories croco-effect belts are close in spirit but are different models, so treat them as a route to the same look rather than the same belt.
