This Mescalero Apache Beaded Belt is expertly handcrafted by artist Wendy Capek in New Mexico. Featuring a unique handloomed beaded design stitched onto bison leather billets, this belt is made with the utmost attention to detail and quality. Each belt is handmade with premium materials and expertly crafted in the USA. Artist: Beaded belt and jewelry designer Wendy Capek draws inspiration from a lifelong connection to nature, movement, and cultural tradition. With a background in dance and a degree in Fiber and Metal Art, she has spent over three decades creating wearable art that reflects her deep reverence for the earth and its rhythms. Size: Available in standard even sizes, 30 through 52. Custom sizes available by request, at no extra charge. As a rule of thumb, your belt size is 2” larger than your pants’ waist size. For example, if you wear size 36 pants, you will probably do well with a size 38 belt. Please ensure your belt size before ordering, we’d hate for you to be disappointed with an incorrectly sized belt. Refer to our Belt Sizing & Fit Guide for assistance determining your perfect belt size. Hardware: Each of these belt straps is equipped with three snaps, designed to perfectly hold a buckle as well as two keepers or loops. Attaching your buckle to your new belt strap is a breeze with the easy snap-on feature. Additionally, every belt strap includes a leather keeper/loop. Buckle: Tom Taylor offers premium handmade belt straps that come without buckles. Find the perfect silver or gold belt buckle for your new premium handmade belt strap! If you just need a basic nickel or brass buckle for your belt strap, let us know in the notes at checkout or give us a call at 505-984-2231, and we will be happy to include one with your order.
