Collar Stud Belt

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

My personal theory is that this was Patricia Ziegler’s favorite belt. Featured from 1984 through 1986 as an item and on numerous illustrations of other items of clothing. As the catalogue says, it’s a true classic.

From the catalogue: “A terrific hip belt with heavy sweaters, a waist cincher with pants or safari dresses. Three inches wide at the end, of hefty English saddle hide. Fastens with brass collar stud. A true classic.
