Got a Temper?
Everyone here is already very well aware of my affinity for oversized bags. Every now and then, though, you don’t feel like lugging all that stuff around, and just want go out without worrying about setting your purse down somewhere. Fanny packs or bulging pockets are NOT the answer to that, but Anthracite’s Utility Belts sure are.
Available in a range of colors and sizes, each belt has three functional pockets & rings and are made of faux leather (happy vegan accessory!), with an optional tail.
Be sure to check out the neck corsets in her shop, as well.

Not too sure about this belt. Looks rather dainty. Since I have a physically demanding job and constantly need the weapons of choice of a gallery assistant on my body (scissors, tape dispenser, cutter, tape measure, frame samples, phone, change, receipt book, spare brains) I’ve started a little collection of actual utility belts. The one above seem more like a make-up belt. I can totally recommend the belts sold at Gekko in Camden. The shop is a bit hippiesque, but their belts are glorious and the staff super sweet! Heavy duty canvas belts for vegans are available as well. Weeeee! (Moskitoo in Switzerland is great too, btw)

I probably should have mentioned this in the article, but better late than never :
“They are completely hand made by me, and if I might say so, of superb quality. I’ve worn mine day in, day out for 1 1/2 years, it’s seen any weather, drunk nights and clubs, crawling through dirt with the dog, and is still intact.”

I’ve been buying military versions of these for the last few years. also vegan friendly (since they’re usually just heavy duty cotton canvas) they’re my favorite – no more question of losing my purse when i put it down to go dance! and if you’re crafty, you can dress ‘em up.
