The Brand
About B.B. Simon
B.B. Simon, short for Belts by Simon, was started by Simon Tavassoli in Southern California in the late 1980s. The brand built its name on leather belts covered in Swarovski crystals, and the crystal belt became a fixture in hip-hop and streetwear.
People shop B.B. Simon by color and style: clear, black and AB crystal belts, two-tone and color-mix belts, and studded and silver belts. Because every belt is covered in stones, condition matters more here than with most belts, and missing crystals are the first thing a buyer checks.
If you have a B.B. Simon belt you don't wear anymore, bring it to our East Village shop. We check it in front of you and make a cash offer on the spot.
What We Buy
Crystal, Studded and Color Belts
B.B. Simon is a belt brand first. These are the belts we see most at the counter.
Crystal Belts
Full-crystal belts in clear, black, AB and color mixes, with crystal-covered straps and buckles. A full set of stones is the first thing we look at.
Studded & Silver Belts
Belts with metal studs and silver hardware, with or without crystals. We check the studs, the plating and the leather.
Two-Tone & Color Belts
Two-tone and color-mix crystal belts and one-off color combinations. Popular colors sell faster than unusual ones.
Pricing
What Moves a B.B. Simon Offer
Two B.B. Simon belts can be far apart in value. Here is what decides it.
- Missing crystals
- Every missing or cloudy stone comes off the offer. A full belt with clear, sparkly stones brings the most.
- Leather
- Cracks at the holes, peeling edges and a stretched strap bring the number down.
- Buckle
- The buckle plating should be intact, with every crystal or stud on it still in place.
- Size
- Common waist sizes move fastest. Very short or very long belts take longer to sell.
- Color
- Clear, black and AB belts sell faster than unusual color mixes.
- Box and extras
- The box, dust bag and receipt add to the number.

Get Ready
Before You Bring It In
Wipe the stones with a soft dry cloth and store the belt flat or loosely rolled so stones don't rub or pop out.
- Bring the box, dust bag and receipt
- Bring any stones that came loose
- Text photos first if you have a few belts
- Bring a valid government-issued ID; New York law requires it for every sale
