Oh Baby! Obi Belts Galore!

Have you hopped on the Obi Belt train yet? A Sarah Bibb classic...and an amazing everyday accessory! Easy, comfortable, and fun, the obi belt completes any outfit. A modern version of the traditional Japanese obi, used to tie a kimono together, obis are traditionally made with embroidered silk. 



This year Sarah was able to travel to the hustling and bustling Guangzhou, China! 
While there she picked up some amazing traditional silks, so we have made a few belts in 
traditional obi fabric with out modern slim profile! 
All Belts $40!





How To Wear an Obi Belt!
It's pretty easy! We love them over blouse-y work dresses, or dresses that have an elastic waist.
An Obi Belt can help break up a busy pattern, cinch in the waist, 
or cheat where the waistline on a garment is if it is just a little too short or long for you!

Here is a great example of breaking up a pattern! 
This Red and Navy Melanie Dress  is more put together and easy to wear with an Obi!

I also love an Obi over a little tee tucked into a skirt!
So cute with this full Anca Chiffon Skirt!

Stay tuned for more Obi tips!

Stay on Trend for 2015 with an Obi Belt!

If you're trying to take some hints from the runway and make them wearable, we have got what you need!
This year it seems like some Folly Fave's are getting their time to shine in high fashion. If you're a Folly Girl, you know our Obi Belts! This year it seems like the fashion world has finally caught up! Too bad Sarah Bibb's Obi Belts are still #1 in our book! And so much more affordable.... ;)

It's so surprise Obis are on trend. a great way to make a statement while accentuating your waist in the most flattering way! While this bulkier version works on fashion models, they add too much for your everyday wear! Beautiful. But how can you make this an easy to wear statement piece? Folly knows...

Folly's Obi! Designer Sarah Bibb has been making these since 2008...that means she has had plenty of time to master them for everyday wear! Extra long tie and comfy woven fabrics. Breathable, comfortable, and so wearable!!! Lightweight fabric makes this great year round, even on the hottest days of summer! And so many colors to choose from. I should also mention that Sarah makes these belts in two widths, original (pictured above) and mini (pictured below). This is because no matter your body shape or height, and no matter the garment you are pairing your belt with, it will feel just perfect for YOU!
And at only $40 each they are a steal. You'll want one for every day!
