The California-based Hollywood Trading Company was only born ten years ago, in the year 2000, the pet project of belt aficionado Zip Stevenson, but the man himself has been a long-time devotee to the accessory for close to twenty years, building up his vintage collection since 1993. Consequently, HTC’s traditional American belts have a desirably antique quality about them. Created using low-tech, artisan methods, the designs incorporate details like brass buckles, silver studding and engraving and have already clocked up coverage in the likes of Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone.

The collection has branched out into other accessories, all possessing the same effortless, dust-soaked glamour, amongst them, a pair of leather biker boots in a time-honoured style which will only improve with age and wear!
