This beautiful belt came in a very nice packaging but within a minute after opening the belt and removing the white label on the inside, one of the metal fasteners fell off. Not liking the hassle of returning most items at a certain price, I decided to take the belt to my local belt and leather repair shop to see if they could salvage it. I'll probably pay the same amount for the repair as I did for the belt, but then I should have a beautiful and functional belt. I hope no one experiences the same.
