Hand-Woven Peruvian Belts: Authentic Floral Embroidery & Andean Heritage

Our embroidered belts are woven from 100% sheep's wool to create a durable, colorful base. Each flower and pattern is then hand-embroidered by artisans in Ayacucho, Peru. Because we are 100% artisan-owned, your purchase adds a one-of-a-kind piece to your wardrobe and goes directly to the families who make them.

Whether you are cinching a flowing summer dress or adding a pop of Peruvian color to your favorite denim, these belts offer an authentic connection to the Andes and a piece of wearable heritage.

How to wear an embroidered belt

Cinch it at the waist over a dress or long sweater, or wear it lower on the hip with jeans. The metal buckle and five sets of holes make it easy to adjust, and the wool stretches a little to shape to you.
