The Happy Trails Vintage Western Belt

This vintage western waist belt is an incredible example of bold, colorful western design from the 1970s, sourced out of Dallas and full of personality. Crafted with genuine suede detailing, the front panel features turquoise suede X motifs accented by a central silver western concho, finished with multicolored beaded fringe that brings movement and color.

A pink suede strip runs along the top edge, finished with contrasting orange whip stitching, tying the entire piece together in a way that feels both playful and intentional. The belt fastens with an adjustable Velcro closure at the back, making it easy to style over denim, knits, dresses, or outerwear year-round.

We styled this piece back to high-waisted denim and the Pink Pony Parade Sweater, where the colors align almost too perfectly — a true styling win that instantly pulls a look together.
