Connie Bates is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and has been designing accessories for more than 20 years. Her work is sold in the finest luxury stores throughout the U.S. and Europe.

Fahrenheit accessories are original designs. Inspired by vintage stones and iconic images that reflect the diversity of New York City as an incredible ethnic crossroad, Connie Bates' belts are a work of art. The belt buckles are cast in pewter, brass or sterling silver, and may be rejuvenated with any non-abrasive polish or cloth. All exotic skins are strictly from non-endangered species. With proper care, you belt will become an increasingly valued possession.
