Mystery Belt

September 26, 2020 By In Women's Belts No Comments

This remarkable belt came up for sale on eBay in September 2020. I am unable to locate it in the catalogue archive thus far. It’s VERY Banana Republic Travel & Safari Co. It has a distinctive layered look and has a double pronged buckle with an additional brass post to secure the end of the belt. There are three rings along the back. It is made in England from saddle hide and bears the BRT&SCo stamp inside.

Robyn’s fascination with Banana Republic began in 1984 when her Alaskan adventurer father began buying their clothing and giving her their catalogs. 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.
