Handmade Leather Tahitian Dance Waist Belt worn over Wrap Or Grass Skirt

Description

This is a one of a kind all Handmade with the base belt cut from heavy duty white Leather. (2” wide). This belt can be worn two different ways by just turning the belt over (see pictures). Colors are white belt, red tassels, red & black feathers, natural raffia, red pony beads and natural scallop shell. . I find that leather has a firmer grip compared to material coverings and lasts much longer. The belt is ornamented with 18 finely brushed out cellophane rope tassels in red. Length of belt measures 36” Included are 4 large coat hooks. In order to attach hooks, please send me hip measurement so that I can punch small holes in which you can sew hooks on with. I would recommend due to width of belt to have two rolls of two pair of hooks. Belt can be overlapped but may require cutting the tassel under the overlap to assure tight fit. Belt actually sits on hips do measure waist because if you measure waist, you may need additional holes to sew hooks on where they will fit. If you are going to use over grass skirt, You can attach directly to skirt. Suggest to go 1/2“ smaller since leather will eventually stretch slightly over time. To add additional holes later, a large nail and hammer work well. If there is going to be an open gape due to belt being slightly to short by 2-4”, I can punch additional holes and using jute roping configure the belt to be tied to where the gape should be worn at the front and tied there. When you receive the belt the tassels have been wrapped in tissue paper, so the fluff out, take fingers and using both hands pinch on both sides of tassels and just pull out wards slightly to separate the fibers. They should fluff up quite fully. If you have any questions please let me know. Mahalo Condition is New. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
