Narrow belt with gold hardware
I'm trying to replace a vintage belt I have that is currently falling apart but I can't find anything with quite the same vibe. My criteria is:
- Black leather, preferably with some shine and embossed with a croc or snakeskin effect. Patent leather can also potentially work
- Less than 1" wide but more than 0.5" wide
- Small/minimal gold-tone buckle. Preferably square but the shape is less important than not being bulky
- Budget $200, around or under $100 preferred. Happy to buy secondhand
I'm finding loads of options that meet all of this criteria except the width requirement- it seems like every women's belt that I like is 1" wide and the SFC tape belts are a bit too narrow for my tastes.

Some inspo for what I'm looking for:
Trafalgar belts on eBay should meet your criteria, they’re pretty slim dress belts and are stupid cheap
Gold tone hardware is a bit rarer but you can just include gold/brass in your search. Sometimes the gold tone is worn a little which I find cool
Here’s an example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/226171601296?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=4NNANAutQ0y&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=I0OsTx6HRKa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
