A belt was originally made to keep your pants on shorts on, however now a lot of them aim to make a fashion statement. It seems difficult to comprehend how belts could cost a lot of money, as they are pretty simple when you think of it: a length of material and a clasp. Its hard to imagine belts that cost over $100 dollars, yet the prominent Italian fashion house Gucci has found a way to make some pretty expensive belts. We are going to take a brief moment and look at some of the most expensive belts that the company currently produces for men.
The Ostrich Belt with Square Buckle – $720
First up we have the Ostrich Belt with a Square Buckle. Like the name implies, this belt is made from burnished tan exotic ostrich leather (Gucci has a few other colors as well). The belt features palladium hardware, and a square buckle that is engraved with the interlocking “G” detail, although you will have to stare at someone crotch for very long to notice it (with Gucci, half of the point is to show other people what you are wearing). The belt measure out to be 1.2 inches in width and comes in a variety of sizes.
The Black Crocodile Belt with a Square Buckle – $790
Next up with a price of $790 dollars we have the Black Crocodile Belt with a Square Buckle. This belt is pretty straightforward: its made from crocodile leather, has palladium hardware, is made in Italy, and measures out to be 1.2 inches in width. “Gucci” is also found etched into the buckle, however it is very small.
The Dark Teal Crocodile Belt with Square Buckle – $890
This belt is virtually the same as the last belt however it is obviously a different color. This belt will be more difficult to match outfits with, but I’m sure people can do it. So essentially if you want a different color from the previous belt, Gucci wants you to shell out $100 more.
The Crocodile Belt with the Interlocking G Buckle – $990
For nearly $1,000 dollars the Crocodile Belt with the Interlocking G Buckle is currently Gucci’s most expensive. The belt is made from crocodile leather, has palladium hardware, hand-painted edges, and a nice interlocking “G” buckle with stud closure. With this buckle, you can let everyone know you are wearing Gucci.
