Best Belt BucklesBooty Boutique

Because Kyra Brown knows that belts are more than just a utensil for keeping pants properly hitched, she treats belt buckles as the small pieces of unusual and expressive art and, sometimes, as the wallets and stash boxes that they were meant to be. She uses a broad base of materials, from seed beads to scorpions, to create fashion plates reminiscent of the bottom-heavy '70s, yet resplendent with the craftsmanship and dark wit that could only come from the present. Brown opens her home studio for in-person consultations and customizations such as the photo buckle, a creative souvenir of a day about town. But the Booty Boutique Web site also offers online ordering of a wide variety of offbeat styles; we're partial to the "Kinda Gay Jesus" model.
