6a Plum creation with bits of sweet mango in part of orange? (6)
_ S _ ITH

6d. Belt loop shaped with the hand, concealing end (5)
_ AT _ E

Obviously, the first letter for 6a is also the first letter of 6d

Many thanks

I am wondering about SM(sweet mango) in Pith = P Smith
Creation of an author? Maybe way off track. Anyway 6 d would then begin with a P and I can't get anything!

thought might be something pith, but could be way off the mark...

6a. Yes, PSMITH
Character created by Pelham G. Wodehouse, whose nickname was 'Plum'

6d. PATTE, belt loop, from 'patted', shaped with the hand, concealing end
