'I saw turquoise and gold' leather hand-textured art belt
Hard to say what is more striking in this artisan belt - the glorious hand-painted colors, the unusual raised texture, or the amazing vintage buckle made in Italy. The buckle is extra large in size - 4.5"x4" - and beautifully made out of copper and probably zinc, featuring a nice patina. The texture of the belt is made to look like little turquoise stones have been incorporated - a totally 3D, raised look that is unique to the artist. Belt is flexible, made out of fine lambskin leather for the top part and cotton fabric for the back side, combined with top stitching. The belt has been painted by hand in the colors of turquoise and gold which are known to be 'a match made in heaven'. Despite the brightness of the colors, they are a perfect accent to many outfits of different colors, particularly the distressed jackets which are signature of the artist - just a few examples shown here. PLEASE NOTE: all belts are made with a lot of extra in case it is needed and unless requested, will be set to an average medium size for use, so please refer to the measurements and let us know if any adjustments are needed.

Very brief cold water hand wash, a few drops of mild detergent, always separately, spin in washer and dry on medium, or air dry and finish in dryer to soften. Also can be dry cleaned by mild methods, or dry cleaned in dryer at home with a store-bought kit. Do not use stain removers, spot treaters or bleach pens. Contact us for any advice, if needed.
All garments arrive to you freshly cleaned, unlike regular store-bought items, and are ready to wear.
Dry-cleaning is ok on most items but only if gentle methods are used and the cleaners are familiar with cleaning hand-painted delicate fabrics.
To freshen up any item that doesn’t need deep cleaning simply mist it with a water spray and put in the dryer on medium heat for about 15 min.
All garments can be hand washed. Wash each item separately, cold water only, minimal amount of detergent, and as briefly as possible, no soaking. The wash can be followed by a spin in the washer and dried on medium heat until dry. Knits should be hung-dried and when dry, finished in the dryer for a few minutes to soften.
Hand-pressing may be necessary after the wash and dry to straighten out the seams and edges which tend to pucker or curl on natural fabrics.
Some hand-dyed items may leak a bit of color during the washing, that is normal and will not affect the item. Using liquid softener during the wash will minimize any color leaking.
For more tips and details please refer to the cleaning instructions card included with your package.
