The Rope Belt


I collect a couple of things. When I like something I tend to buy it in different variations. I love vintage Gucci bags, Salvatore Ferragamo Varina's, vintage rope belts & vintage sunglasses. These are items that I always keep an eye out for whenever I go to a second hand market, thrift store, charity shop, flea market or shop online. 


The best thing about rope belts are they can have two functions: the obvious belt and they can be worn as a necklace. I love rope belts, for this reason they are versatile. I have several here and a couple in the states (if my younger sisters haven't raided my closet in the states!) and I can say I'll be keeping them for my future daughter...

    Nice look AG, this one should be called the superbelt. Why? cuz it can transform from a subtle clark kent to a dashing waist piece!

    People will talk though, do you. You is good enough all the time
