Bottega Veneta Gold Chain Turquoise Leather Lion Head Belt, 1990s

Although Bottega Veneta’s signature is fine leather goods, the brand has had an exquisite talent for mixing materials to create elegant and artistic designs. By remixing the classic idea of hard and soft, this Bottega belt elicits a bold and old school Italian design style. Presumably from the 1990s, this belt is an excellent leather-metal combination.

Running between two cerulean leather braided cords, interlocking gold discs create a central chain that make up the belt ending at the center with a hammered lion’s head for the clasp. Worn practically or as an accessory, the blue leather and gold chain are a stunning combination that can breathe an air of vibrancy into a variety of looks.

Measurements:

Width: 1& 1/4 inches

Length: 34 inches

This belt can easily be adjusted by hooking the lion clasp at any interval along the chain. On the back of the lion buckle, the Bottega Veneta logo is engraved. In excellent condition, high-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.
