This remarkable belt came up for sale on eBay in September 2020. I am unable to locate it in the catalogue archive thus far. It’s VERY Banana Republic Travel & Safari Co. It has a distinctive layered look and has a double pronged buckle with an additional brass post to secure the end of the belt. There are three rings along the back. It is made in England from saddle hide and bears the BRT&SCo stamp inside.
Robyn's fascination with Banana Republic began in 1984 when her Alaskan adventurer father began buying the clothing and giving her the catalogs. She loved the clothes and as an artist she was drawn to the illustrations. She went on to study illustration at art college in BR's hometown of San Francisco and worked for years as a background artist for animation. She is now based in Oakland, CA as a graphic designer and illustrator with Secret Fan Base . She's been collecting and archiving at Abandoned Republic since 2011. 
Newly Updated! 1985-1988 Available.
