Handmade Peruvian Embroidered Flower Belt

For the Air Goddess — who has never met a plain waistband she couldn't improve.

Somewhere in the Peruvian highlands, someone sat down with wool, acrylic thread and a needle and put a row of flowers across two inches of belt, one stitch at a time. Nobody does this quickly. The colors are the ones the highlands have always favored: unapologetic, slightly clashing, entirely correct.

Thread it through jeans, cinch a linen dress, or wear it over a long cardigan where the embroidery has room to be seen. It runs long enough for most waists and looks equally right on a man.
