BIO:
Catherine Valente was born in Montreal and resides in Ottawa where she works from her home studio designing and making handcrafted belts in a retro style. Catherine is also an avid collector of vintage and retro accessories. Catherine got her love for retro and vintage items from her parents who taught her from an early age that all things are beautiful, old and new. Catherine has years of experience in both retail and collecting and has decided to put her love of accessories into her new company CV Accessories. This site is the first step in Catherine's plans to offer her handcrafted belts, retro and vintage items to people who share her passion.

They can be a statement of individual taste without going over the top and they can help make you feel better about the way you look. Some of my favorite accessories are belts and purses. They come in so many shapes, colors, prints and materials. I even love my black faux fur earmuffs because it’s hard to look good on a cold day.… Continue
