Add to your accessory collection with this rare piece of British fashion history.
Handcrafted in England during the 1970s/80s by renowned leather artisan Karl Olsen, this modular link belt seamlessly merges sculptural architecture with high-end luxury materials.
Olsen's iconic work is so highly regarded that his pieces are preserved in national design museums.
Crafted with panels of genuine, richly textured snakeskin in an ultra-chic dark brown, this belt features structural, gold-tone interlocking hardware. It fastens with a single hook and loop closure. The inside of the belt is stamped 'LEATHER Real Snakeskin Made in Britain'
It has a tan leather backing with sections being joined/secured under bars with punched holes and studs. It has sculptural teardrop-link spring clasps that loop effortlessly together.
Designed as a waist belt it accentuates any outfit perfectly.
The belt is in good vintage condition. The snakeskin scales show signs of wear but lie flat with beautiful natural luster and no significant or noticeable peeling or drying. The tan leather interior backing still has part of the original sticker/label showing the original maker's mark (Karl Olsen, England). The gold-tone hardware maintains a mirror-shine finish.
