Custom Design Rock Star Style Belts and Leather Wrist Cuffs

 

Killer accessories are the perfect way to Rock Your Wardrobe. To that end we have Rocker Style Belts custom fabricated for us. They are unisex for the most part and come in great designs to add edge to your wardrobe. Some of our customers that are in bands have been requesting that we have Leather Wrist Cuffs made. We are pleased to announce that we were able to convince the artisan that makes some of our Rocker Style Belts to make some coordinating Leather Wrist Cuffs for us.

Our Rock Star style belts are made in the USA out of fine leather making them a fashion accessory that will grace your wardrobe for seasons to come.

Freshen your wardrobe with Rocker Style Belts for Men & Women

A great way to stretch your wardrobe is by investing in quality accessories that can be worn with other items in your closet to create new, fresh looks. We have seen a trend with customers demanding great accessories that they can use all year round. To that end we set out this year to create some amazing belt and buckle designs for men and women.

We have always felt that accessories were important in any Rocker Style wardrobe which is why we have such a large Rocker Jewelry category on TattooApparel.com.

This February our stylist met with the artisans from several custom belt manufacturers in the United States to come up with some great custom belt designs for both men and women.


We chose to work with Whimsical Originals to co-create some great designs for women's belts and buckles. Whimsical Originals creates all of their belts and buckles in the USA.


For Men's and Unisex designs we chose to work with Tobacco Road. Tobacco Road has some of the most amazing quality leather we have seen anywhere. The artisans at Tobacco Road create all of their designs in the USA utilizing Leather that is imported from Italy. Some of our new Tobacco Road design belts have buckles with leather inlays that match the custom leather of the belt for an amazing look.




We are also now carrying several designs from Leather Island by Bill Lavin. Leather Island has created a line of Leather belts whose influences are Music, Art and Social Activism.

All of the belt designs from Whimsical Originals, Leather Island and Tobacco Road come with belt buckles that may be removed should you wish to use the belt with another buckle. Picking up several Rocker Style belts is a great way to expand your wardrobe as you can interchange the belt buckles on many of the styles to create different looks.

Fashion Trends and Forecasting

We have been mentally digesting everything we saw at the recent Fashion Trade Shows and events and are pleased with the direction that premium streetwear and rocker fashion appears to be heading .

Some things we were happy to see:

For menswear Tattoo Art influences will continue to be strong but the emphasis is moving away from the overblingy look of Christian Audigier/Ed Hardy towards more emphasis on design and fabric treatments - strong designs with more emphasis on design details instead of super bright colors.

The embellishments on many mens brands have moved towards tone on tone appliques with tonal embroidery touches where again design is more about texture than bright colors. For example we have carried Anama womens clothing for years and love their styles. In the past we only carried a small subset of their mens line as we found much of their mens line to be too bright in color and over the top flamboyant. We just placed a large order with Anama for this season's mens line though as this time we feel they really got it right - their new line is all about texture and tonality with just touches of color. We are looking forward to the shirts starting to arrive soon. Some of their new women's styles arrived at our boutique this week. They are available now in the store and will be on our site as soon as we get a photo shoot scheduled.

V-necks shirts for men are strong utilizing everything from subtle tonal treatments to large fashion cover newsprint style prints. We are expecting in new mens v necks from Anama, Division E, Alternative, Indigo Star, Casualties of Summer and a new line that we are excited about called Societies Idols.

Speaking of Societies Idols they have some killer designs on ladies beater tanks. The Peace Sign continues to be used in fashion for 2010 and Societies Idols takes it to an edgy side with ladies tops that have peace signs made from bullets or lip stick cases - killer cool!

We feel that customers are looking to make fashion purchases on items that will not be tied to frivolous trends but will be statement pieces that will be timeless additions to their wardrobes. To that end we have commissioned some amazing belts and buckles to be made for us for men and women that will be edgy yet timeless in their style making them a great addition to any wardrobe. We are working with Tobacco Road and other companies that use fine quality leathers and hand made workmanship for these new items. They should begin to arrive in a few weeks. We will post photos as soon as we have them

Like the belts and buckles we think accessories will play a larger than normal role in fashion for 2010. Customers want versatile pieces that they can use to accessorize existing fashions in their current wardrobe. To that end we will continue to have edgy Rocker Jewelry items fabricated for us and we are also bringing in even more designs of handmade sunglasses for men and women from the team at Tres Noir.
