HTC
Studded belts were produced from the 1930s to the 1950s. They are now rare items, with only a few dozen appearing on the market each year.
In 1994, after becoming independent, owner ZIP STEVENSON traveled across the United States to find the perfect studded belt to complement denim through extensive buying.
However, the supply, in terms of size, quantity, and condition, was not enough to meet customer demand.
So, using the tools and jewelry of the time as inspiration, he started making them himself. After one year, he finally created a handmade belt that met his standards, evoking a sense of craftsmanship that transcended 70 years. This was the beginning of ZIP and his belts.
Five years later, in 2000, HOLLYWOOD TRADING COMPANY (HTC) became a beloved belt brand worldwide and remains so to this day.
HTC prides itself on being one of the few MADE IN USA / Made in Los Angeles, CA. brands and will continue its unchanging handmade craftsmanship into the future.
