This piece is beautiful and nothing is synthetic... Made out of high quality materials sourced from the places they're best, like Italian shearling and Argentine leather. This belt bag is new and with tags and never worn. Based on a piece from the Banana Republic archives, this belt bag was originally developed as a way to store money and travel documents. The pouch detaches so you can also use it as a wallet inside another bag. Made in luxurious, Italian shearling and leather from Argentina.
