MOSCHINO, Italy
Gold tone metal letter logo belt

- one of the must have accessories of the 1980's -
MOSCHINO founded in Milan in 1983 by Franco Moschino
Italy‘s fashion genius and enfant terrible
who‘s life was tragically cut short in 1994 at the age of 44
vintage MOSCHINO (made in Italy) pieces are known and collected for their quirky and playful, tongue in cheek designs, their use of luxurious materials, and their beautiful traditional tailoring
Who doesn't love vintage Moschino?!?
The luxury Italian leather goods manufacturer REDWALL (founded near Bologna in 1924 by Mario Rossi) produced Moschino's accessories line from 1983 onwards when the line was first launched. REDWALL also produced for other high end designers such as Giorgio Armani, Romeo Gigli and Richard Tyler until the late 1990's
