Concha Belts

Appearing on the Navajo reservation around 1870, this article of adornment was a combination of elements; Mexican conchas or buttons, and the designs copied from the leather stamps of the Spanish.
Today's fashion still recognizes the concha belt as a great addition to jeans or formal wear. Come try one on!
