Each piece has complied with the university copyright mandates.

The name Smathers and Branson helps to define the entrepreneurial spirit. While at school together, friends Smathers and Branson, each had the good fortune of having a gal make a needlepoint belt for them. Hearing so many positive comments about their belts, the friends looked into purchasing the same sort of belt at a store. Disappointed by the selection and high price of needlepoint belts, Smathers and Branson decided to make such a luxury more affordable and accessible to the public. Smathers and Branson formed their own company, and with a trip overseas, started designing and importing the finest, most cost effective needlepoint belts available today.

Each Smathers and Branson needlepoint belt is hand stitched and backed with exceptional leather. The buckle is adjustable and interchangeable, making this a needlepoint belt which will last for a lifetime. With sporty designs ranging from martini drinking pink elephants to sail flags, a Smathers and Branson needlepoint belt is more than a way to hold up pants, it is a fashion statement! As the friends, now business partners like to say, “Anything else is just a waist!”

Additionally, Multiple Choices offers some of the best brands from around the world.
