ESCADA Black Belts for Women | eBay。here is a ONE OF A KIND, ( valued at approx $1000) authentic, vintage Escada belt that has a story! You will not find another belt like this This belt was made impromptu by an Escada Wardrobe Master in Italy.  We used to do catalog and live photoshoots for Escada and participated in a new collection reveal fashion show in Milan in 1993.   As we were staging - lead model that was opening the show broke her belt.  This was going to be one of the first Belts Escada was to showcase with Crystals/Rhinestones.  Wardrobe master ran to his shop backstage and 30 minutes later came out with this very belt.  It was made by hand, roughed in on the spot, by screwing a crystal studded buckle to a finished belt End result is a beautiful vintage belt which was used once during that show, and then kept in our showcase for all these years - as a memory - a collectors and a conversation piece ( sadly, its time to let it go)  Belt is what appears to be satin wrapped over leather core/base.  Fused in the back by 2 satin \"loops\". Crystal studded 1 piece buckle has a unique pin closure - even the pin has a crystal on top of it Buckle is missing 1 small stone on each side - but it is definitely not visible unless you look closely, and won\'t be seen when worn Made In Italy,  Marked size 42 (european)  - equivalent to dress size 12  Total length tip to tip is exactly 36 inches, so would be perfect for someone with a 31-34 waist, unless you like to wear belts loose. not adjustable Sold as is
