Money belts and security belts for travelers

At the Housewares Show, SPIbelt, the creator of the original Small Personal Item Belt, the carry-all for travelers, is showing its patented SPIbelt and its newest product: the Anti-Electro Magnetic Field Belt. The belts allow travelers to move about a city hands-free instead of clutching their wallets. Women can go out for a night on the town without a purse. The belt holds health items, like insulin pumps and inhalers. A variety of belts for different applications are available. They are made in Austin, Texas.
