The Venmo Taco Bellt has been created in collaboration between the payment app and the QSR brand as a fashionable accessory that's designed with a dedicated spot to hold a taco.
The belt is handcrafted by Guillermo Cuevas of Dunrite Leatherworks who is the expert behind custom pieces for a variety of celebrities including Shaboozey, Kendrick Lamar and Glen Powell. The belt comes as a taco-inspired take on the classic money belt and has a blue leather design that has a taco-shaped holder in the front.
The Venmo Taco Bellt is being launched exclusively for Taco Bell Rewards Members via the Tuesday Drops section of the Taco Bell app and comes with a complimentary Chicken Cantina Taco.
