Belt, A Vintage, Cast, Turquoise, Hallmark Patania, Vintage, 642
BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL
A vintage cowgirl classic, this belt was crafted by artist Carmelo Patania. The vintage leather strap is detailed with a patterned stamp design that gives it unique character and charm. The real star of the show though is the turquoise stone that sits proudly at the buckle’s center and bordered with a double mustache repousse bump outs.
