What a great surprise to find Badichi Belts during my stroll through Soho a couple of weeks ago. I was in the market for a new black belt - earlier purchases at department stores, though not inexpensive, had shown wear and tear after a year or less. I was so impressed with the quality of the leather at Badichi and I can say stunned when Yinon Badichi himself customized a Jet Set black belt for me. I ended up purchasing another one in a salmon suede color. Both have elicited compliments from friends ... definitely an upgrade and a subtle but convincing accessory. Will be back for gifts soon!
