Belt, A Vintage, Novelty, Silvertone, Reticulated Snake, From the Iris Apfel Estate, Vintage, 746

Timeless style with awe-inspiring provenance.

How many times in your life will you have the opportunity to own something of Iris Apfel’s? The inimitable style icon, who passed away in 2024, coined one of our favorite phrases ever: More is more, and less is a bore. She was known for her affinity for color, her signature thick-rimmed glasses, and her opulent and often oversized accessories. We were fortunate to have the opportunity to acquire some of the late legend’s accessories and (though we’ll admit we kept several for ourselves) we are thrilled to get to offer them to you.

This particular piece of Iris Apfel’s style story is a sleek silvertone snake belt, featuring a vintage leather strap adorned with metal pieces engraved to mimic snakeskin and arranged like segments of a python – complete with a head and a tail at either end. It’s more novelty than next-level luxury, but it’s certainly a one-of-a-kind find with a pretty cool brag behind it!
