View Our WorkAn Ethos of Excellence Crafted Since 1978
Tauris Belts and Custom Leathers was established in 1978 by Philip P. Taurisano, a former Utica, New York police officer. Philip worked alongside his brother, Michael P. Taurisano, who operated the Tauris Holsters brand since the mid-1960s.
While collaborating with Michael — who also served as the Deputy Chief of the Utica Police Department — Philip developed a firm conviction: every officer and legal weapon carrier needed a high-quality leather belt to properly contain any holster or apparatus carrying their weapon.

An Inheritance of Skill Since 1978
Every belt is hand-cut from premium full-grain hides and burnished with natural oils for a lifetime of wear.
From equestrian gear to specialized hardware, where durability meets refined aesthetic precision.
From cardholders to tool rolls, every piece carries our 1978 hallmark of decades of expertise.
The Art of Meticulous Handling
A Heritage Since 1978
Our process is anchored in the belief that true luxury requires time. Every hide is inspected for depth and durability, then hand-cut and stitched using techniques that have remained unchanged since our founding in 1978. We don't just manufacture leather goods; we build companions that carry the legacy of over four decades of expertise.
