It started with a belt
This is the motto of Once Upon a Belt since we experienced the awakening to just how wonderful ladies belts are. We’ve always
appreciated good quality in a classic ladies leather belt but researching belts for Once Upon a belt we found ladies belts in exquisite leather in
stunning designs that made us swoon, made us covet, made us want to find clothes that recreate the great belt looks
inspired by what we saw in the fashion magazines and on the catwalks around the world.
Choose your outfit to match that fabulous leather belt – with belts this gorgeous
they should be the start of deciding what to wear to look fab today.
Some of your belt collection may be patent finish too – not only does it match with patent details on clothing
or other patent accessories (even if not in same colour) but high gloss jewellery etc. Again it adds subtle
interest to an outfit e.g. a black patent belt on a little black dress. Natural clothing personalities will shy away
from anything with a high sheen and for their interest factor choose a leather weave / woven belt / plaited belt instead.
Why buy a quality belt?
Buying a quality belt is like investing in good luggage – it will last longer and weather better, not needing several
replacements which when added up you'd have been better off buying a good quality belt. There's an old Armenian saying that
goes "There's nothing as cheap as the most expensive"! Plus it makes you feel and look good too – invest in a great
belt and it will make the most inexpensive items look fabulous. Belts never go out of fashion.
