Obi Belts: Why We Love Them as a Staple Piece for Every Wardrobe!

Have you heard of our Obi Belts? If not, our Obi is a simple wrapping belt that sits at the smallest part of your waist. They’re perfect for accenting your waist or adjusting the fit or shape of a dress. You may have seen leather versions of this belt out in the world, but all of ours are made from 100% Cotton prints making them more comfortable and affordable than a typical leather Obi! It’s also super fun to mix and match the prints with a dress you already have or one you find here! Also, an extra bonus is that ours are made right in the back of our shop! It doesn’t get more local than that!

 

We offer our Obi Belts in two widths, the original and the mini. The original width is great if you want a little more of the print or just a bolder, more statement-piece kind of look, while the mini is perfect if you’re more petite or short-waisted, or just want a more subdued look. There are probably a few pieces you already have in your wardrobe that these could be a great addition to!

 

We love pairing them with our babydoll-style Abbie dress if you like the babydoll look but want the waist to feel a little more tailored. They’re also perfect for our Jenni Dress since it has an elastic waist. Our Obis are just the accessory you need to finish off a beautiful and classic look.

Stop by with a piece you already own that you’d like to find the perfect finishing touch for or check out what we’ve got here! The Jenni, Abbie, Fiona, and Venus dresses are all great pairs for an Obi Belt!



See you soon!

XOXO,


Folly Girl Hope

Hi! My name is Hope and I’ll be the new Folly blogger, photographer, and in-store associate! 

I wanted to share some of my favorite pieces since joining the Folly family. 

Today I’m wearing a Mini Obi Belt in Painterly to add a Folly touch to one of my favorite jumpsuits. I love how versatile the Obi Belts are and how you can use them to add a pop of pattern to a solid-colored top or romper.

Or wrap them over one of our Lauren Cardis for a touch of sophistication. 

It’s all about the little things, right?

I’ve also added a couple Nicole Weldon bobbi pins for a little sparkle to brighten up this rainy Portland day!

  

Make sure to stop by and come say hi! I can’t wait to meet all of the other Folly girls out there!

Xoxo

Find Your Perfect Waist Belt! Plus New Jamie Dresses in Stock!

We love a belt. It's the perfect finishing touch to any outfit! Over a dress, over a cardigan over a dress, over a skirt and cute top... You get it. Belts are a great way to create a perfect package!

Keep it simple with a little black elastic belt, add a small pop of color, or be a little bolder with an OBI!

 The Jamie Dress is a MUST HAVE. Comfy, cute and fun to style! It's the perfect cute canvas to express your own personal style. Pockets (yay!) just above the knee, perfectly light for summer and easy to layer up for fall. We love her! This black and white mini pin is classic, neutral, but still a little funky fun!

Oh and did I mention...Made in USA?!

We've got a great variety of wide waist belts too. 

These leather and suede belts have elastic backs for a comfortable and easy fit. 

Love the classic bold look of Suede Belt in Cognac and Black 

And love the unique styling and innovative closure on the Black Ring belt!

Don't forget about our Obis. A style we have done for years because it is just SO perfect. 

A comfortable fabric wrapping belt that cinches off the waist, cheats elastic that doesn't hit you quite right, and takes the blouse out of any outfit!
