Iconic Hippo Belt

Regular price $275.00 Sale

Iconic! Dramatic! Unusual and charming. It's the Leiber hippos in belt form. Accessory Queen Judith Leiber designed a limited edition suite of hippo pieces in the 1970's including belts, necklaces, bracelets, and most likely earrings and bags as well although we have not found those yet. 

Smooth leather, gold plated metal, crystals and onyx. Band adjusts from 26-38" in length, with hippo accents taking up 8" across your front. Band measures 1.5" wide. Very good condition with slight marks to interior and repair to interior where leather is thin. Store and wear with care. 

Hippopotamus amphibus is one of Earth's largest animals and Africa's most dangerous. At 3,000 to 4,000 pounds, these aggressive mammals are not to be trifled with. But they have a soft side too - they're mostly vegetarian and are known to frolic in the ocean. (Look up Gabon's "surfing hippos" and enjoy!)
