... go back to ancient times. In Egypt, belts were used to secure clothing and wear objects. This functional role of the belt remained for many centuries. In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the belt began to take on a decorative role. It was made of noble materials such as leather, silk and even metal and often provided with elaborate buckles and decorations. Belt became a status symbol that reflected the social rank and wealth of the wearer. They have been considered fashionable statements since the Renaissance.

... and nowadays make a career as a pure decorative object. The buckle details on blouses or jackets have been found for a long time. And of course on the famous trench coat. The belt is also not entirely new to bags. Think of the famous "Kelly Bag" by Hermès. However, this classic of the belt also serves as a closure.

This is not the case with the current bag models from Alexander McQueen to Ferragamo. Here the belt buckle only fulfills decorative purposes. Prada even baptized one of his current models "Buckle Bag"-more attention can hardly get a pocket trend.
