About Us

Brooklyn Buckles was born during a challenging and uncertain time amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Like so many, I found myself with more time on my hands, isolated, and trapped. So, I decided to take control of my situation and focus on myself, my health and my happiness. I made a commitment to eat healthier, workout more and lose weight.

To my surprise and delight my wellness commitment paid off. With renewed enthusiasm and a can do attitude, I decided to tackle another long avoided project; cleaning out my closet.  You see, a decade or two ago, I made the decision to stay at home and raise my 3 boys.  As a consequence, I traded in my office attire for more casual clothing.  What I realized was I had squirreled away some real gems like knit dresses and oversized shirts.  However, with my slimmer self these pieces felt like they were wearing me, not the other way around.

With limited resources and a tight budget resulting from the pandemic, I couldn’t afford to purchase a whole new set of clothes or accessories to reflect the new me.  But then it hit me.

I had a few old purses that were in perfect condition stashed away in a drawer in the back of the closet. I realized I could create a stylish belt buckle and belt.  I disassembled the purses, taking apart the straps and panels, and began crafting my own belt buckle and belt. I found joy in creating something that I made from scratch and would help bring my true style and slimmer physique into better focus.

What started as a small, personal project blossomed into a business. Today, we buy beautiful leathers from around the world to not only help accessorize an outfit, but to bring your unique sense of style and a renewed sense of joy in getting dressed back into your life.  It really is truly amazing how a belt, a hat, a scarf, a statement pin or purse can complete a look and take it from ordinary to extraordinary.  We've got the belt part covered!
