Named after the Gaulic goddess of the earth, Litavisis the fashion and apparel arm of DLE. Through an industrial engineering mindset and direct feedback from customers, Litavis is able to sustainably implement what real people expect in quality products aimed at a travelers’ market.
A Proprietary Edge
The DLT(Deformable Load Transfer) Buckle is a piece of proprietary hardware derived from a design originally meant for prison guards, TSA agents, and Law Enforcement officers as to allow passage through metal detectors triggering them. Through hundreds of iterations and countless hours of computer simulated load, a compact design was created with a rating up to 150lbs and a simulated mechanism load of 200lbs in some cases. After some consideration, it was decided that the same principle was of value to the civilian consumer market.
Whether you are a frequent-flier and a regular at airport security, or work at a job that requires regular screening, the DLT belt is a reliable offering that provides the strength you need without the sacrifice of convenience. And with the ultra-lightweight material choices that reduce the buckle weight to 50 grams, and extended belt hole system, and a profile that allows for the belt to be slipped normally through regular belt-loops, the standard DLT belt offers unrivaled flexibility and convenience to its users.
An Automotive Dream
The Lamante Program has existed in some form since 2022. Originally starting as a conceptualizing exercise, a fascination with the car culture and what defines a car that is both enjoyable and competitive. Initially, the goal was to design an electric GT-style car. Though after becoming more familiar with what truly makes regular driving experiences thrilling and engaging, the concept of a “small, nimble sports car” was determined as something that people are implicitly searching for. Enjoyable outside of a racetrack, Project Lamante seeks to reconnect with the core of what makes people fall in love with spirited driving.
Lamante currently has 3 planned variants derived from the same core design language; a roadster convertible, a fastback coupe, and a slightly larger sedan. All variants would retain the driver-centric emphasis and priority on driving experience. To reinforce the previously mentioned focus on lightness and driver-centricity, a lightweight carbon-fiber Polyproplene(CFPP) polymer will be used for body panels, drastically reducing component weight.
This project is paired with an internally developed and proprietary 5-cylinder engine design of a flat opposed piston basis. Details with regards to the specific shape, power targets, RPM targets, valvetrain, and other apparatuses are not currently available as they are under active development.
FAQs
Where are your materials sourced?
DLE Litavis has a working relationship with manufacturers and leather goods manufacturing facilities in England.
How eco-conscious are the designs of Litavis?
Hard components, such as buttons and buckles, are deliberately chosen to be made of fully recyclable materials. For example, unlike more common compounds such as ABS, the GF Polypropylene compound used is relatively easy to recycle. In addition, in the event that the plastic of the buckles are discarded in salt water, the density of this material being 1.03kg/m^3 is roughly the same as that as sea water, being 1.025-1.028kg/m^3, thus making recovery of the nearly-neutrally buoyant materials easier to recover and potentially upcycle due to additional chemical stability and UV resistant properties.
What are Litavis’ plans for the future?
In line with its’ core mission, Litavis endeavors to release a line of products that are both fashionable, functional, and affordable. This means apparel such as coats, waterproof and otherwise, and comfortable yet functional travel-wear.
Are there options for customizability?
Absolutely. Our current capacity allows for the customization of the front face of the belt buckle. Please reach out for further details about this service.
