Vintage BodyMap "B-Basic" Canvas Web Belt - Late 1980s Archival Piece.
Line: B-Basic / Body Basic
Era: Late 1980s
Material: Heavy-duty woven cotton canvas, metal hardware & rivets
A rare piece of British fashion history from the iconic avant-garde label BodyMap, founded by David Holah and Stevie Stewart. This belt is from their famous "B-Basic" diffusion range, which the designers continued to sell directly through their Camden Market stall into the late '80s and early '90s.
True to BodyMap’s subversive, club-scene design philosophy, the belt is engineered to be worn "inside up". The functional buckle fastens with the detail strap tucked neatly on the inside, intentionally exposing the striking industrial raw backings of the metal rivets on the outward-facing front side.
Features the original woven cream fabric "BODY" label prominently positioned near the closure.
Provenance Note:
Personally purchased in the late 1980s directly from the original BodyMap market stall where I worked at weekends.
 A highly collectable archival accessory for enthusiasts of Blitz club culture, the early London avant-garde movement, and V&A-exhibited fashion history.
• Wearable Length: Fits waists between 21 inches and 33 inches (approx. 53.5 cm to 84 cm), measured from the first eyelet to the last.
• Adjustability: Multiple closely spaced eyelets offer highly flexible, adjustable styling. Perfect for high-waisted 80s styles or lower hip wearing depending on size.
• The Waist Size: The 21" to 33" range is excellent for high-waisted styling, allowing modern sizes to wear it comfortably.
The canvas remains structurally strong and sturdy. There is minor, characterful vintage fraying along the belt edges and around the eyelets/rivets, which perfectly matches its age and club-culture aesthetic. All original metal rivets/eyelets are securely accounted for. The metal hardware shows a light, authentic patina..
