A piece that defines timeless dressing. This vintage Ralph Lauren black patent leather belt features a square tonal buckle, a sleek glossy finish, and a structured silhouette that cinches everything from blazers to pleated skirts with effortless polish. The belt is fully functional and pristine from the front—while the lining shows peeling (a common vintage RL issue), it is completely invisible when worn. A reminder that slow fashion is about keeping the classics alive, flaws and all. Styled here with a vintage pleated houndstooth skirt (talbots) and fitted Gerald Darel sweater for an editorial fall edit look, reminiscent of vintage Dior reimagined for now.
