A striking 1970s Charles Jourdan waist belt in black suede, embellished with six slender gold-tone bars set with multicoloured glass crystals. Arranged at opposing angles across the front, the sparkling details create a graphic pattern against the velvety suede, giving this piece an artistic, slightly avant-garde feel.
Made in France, the belt combines a broad, gently shaped front with a narrower adjustable strap that fastens discreetly at the back. The uninterrupted silhouette allows the crystal decoration to take centre stage, adding colour and light without overwhelming the simplicity of the design.
Wear it over a white shirt with jeans, cinch a fine black knit or add definition to a simple evening dress. It is a wonderful way to bring a little glamour to everyday clothes, and an accessory to enjoy wearing again and again.
In excellent vintage condition, with very little apparent wear to the suede front and some light marking and creasing to the backing.
