We're glad you're here! Below you'll find answers to the questions we hear most often about Charleston Belt, our handcrafted needlepoint accessories, and how we do things down in the Lowcountry. If you don't see what you're looking for, reach out to us directly and we'll be happy to help.
Charleston Belt is a family-owned company headquartered in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, founded by Lowcountry natives who grew up right here in the Charleston area. We design and sell hand-stitched needlepoint belts and other accessories that celebrate Southern heritage, collegiate pride, and a love of the outdoors. Our work has been featured on NBC, CBS, Fox, and MarketWatch, and our award-winning SC Crescent Palmetto belt is available in several color variations.
Every Charleston Belt is crafted with full grain leather, a solid brass buckle, and all-natural fibers. We use 100% cotton threads for backgrounds and either 100% wool or 100% cotton threads for our design motifs. Each belt contains roughly 13,000 individual hand-stitches, completed by expert artisans. Stock belts are 1.25 inches wide and wider belts always available via custom order.
We recommend adding 3 to 4 inches to your trouser waist size and rounding up to the nearest even number. For example, if you wear size 34 pants, you would order a size 38 belt. We also offer a lifetime sizing service: if your belt ever needs to be made longer or shorter, we'll take care of it for you, even on custom orders -- there is an additional charge for this service.
Returns and exchanges must be initiated within 30 days of purchase, and items need to be unused and in their original condition. Gift cards and personalized or custom items are non-returnable. If you need an exchange, we cover one additional shipping charge so you can get the right fit without extra cost.
Yes. We provide free standard shipping on orders over $60 within the continental United States. Orders under that threshold ship at a flat rate. If an exchange is needed, we'll cover one additional shipment at no charge to you.
Absolutely. We create custom and personalized needlepoint belts for individuals, clubs, schools, restaurants, and institutions. Custom orders are made to order and require approximately 10 to 12 weeks for construction. Because each piece is built specifically for you, personalized and custom items are non-returnable. We also offer white-label and custom logo products for businesses and organizations, and we're a trusted supplier to The First Tee of Greater Charleston as well as numerous organizations.
We do. Charleston Belt offers officially licensed needlepoint belts for The Citadel, Clemson University, the University of South Carolina, and the College of Charleston. Our CofC belt is the choice of the College of Charleston men's golf team. These designs make meaningful gifts for alumni, students, and fans who want to show their school pride with genuine craftsmanship.
Our product line extends well beyond belts. We offer needlepoint and canvas dog collars, flasks, hats, key fobs, koozies, wallets, card wallets and golf headcovers. We also carry a kids and boys collection, making it easy to find handcrafted accessories for the whole family.
Spot clean only if your belt gets soiled, and keep it away from excess moisture and extreme heat, just as you would with any fine leather product. With proper care, the full grain leather and hand-stitched needlepoint will age beautifully and last for years.
Yes, we have an active wholesale program. Our belts and accessories are currently carried in local golf pro shops like Snee Farm Country Club and RiverTowne Country Club, the Citadel Bookstore, Charleston Shoe Company, and the Statehouse Gift Shop in Columbia, SC, along with retailers across South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, North Carolina, Maryland, and Tennessee.
