St. Tropez belt

St. Tropez belt

The St. Tropez Belt is a belt made of curved flattened metal links, popular in France as a fashion accessory in the 1960s.

The first St. Tropez belts were produced by members of a French commune and brought to the open market by Jayne Berrier and Claude Jean-Pierre LaCoudre. After a short time, the belts became an indispensable fashion item and were being bought and sold for very high prices. When members of the commune learned of this, they flooded the market with low-priced belts. Within a short time the belt's ubiquitousness and low price led to the wane of its popularity.
