Twice-Buckled Belt

October 11, 2020 By In Women's Belts, Women's Clothes No Comments

First seen in 1983 as the British Regiment Belt, this nifty two-buckle adjustable twill belt was re-introduced as the Twice Buckled Belt with an updated design–the new belt was not adjustable length–and jute material.

From Spring and Summer 1986, a cool belt with a very BR vibe to it. From the catalogue: “Truly a belt that looks good with anything–the only one you’ll need to pack. Natural woven jute belt with leather trim, brass buckles. Two inches wide.”

She loved the clothes, and as an artist, she was drawn to the illustrations. Robyn went on to study illustration at an art college in Banana Republic’s hometown of San Francisco, CA, and she worked for years as a background artist for animation. She is now based in Oakland, CA and works as a graphic designer and illustrator. She has been collecting and archiving at Abandoned Republic since 2011.
