Dear Birthday Patchwork Belt






I have been holding on to this handmade gem for a few years, and I am so sad to have to let it go. I'm trying to downsize for an impending move and the only reason I'm giving this up is because I've never worn it.

This patchwork belt was handmade with love by Dear Birthday, and I bought it at the Renegade Craft Fair a few years back. Needless to say, it's one of a kind, though you can see some similar belts on folks here, here and here . The fabric on this particular belt is a mix of Liberty fabrics and gingham, and is lined in a soft lightweight denim. There is a long satin ribbon for tying as short or long as you'd like. It's meant to be worn over a dress, or tunic, or maybe with some wide leg vintage sailor jeans like in the first photo.

Measurements: One size fits most, as it's pretty open due to the long ribbon ties. The belt itself is 29" around, unopened, so you needn't fret about a layer of fabric or two under it. It is 5" wide.

Condition: Like new, never worn (sadly)

Paid: approx. $65

Asking: $20 + $5 shipping or $12 international.

First come, first served, before I lose my gusto and decide to keep it! Please leave your email in your comment.
