A really pretty belt that defies the idea that only leather can be used to hold pants! The belt stretches slightly when fastened around the buttons. There was also a fashionable belt with a twist! I was concerned that the XXL would not fit my slim but strong 42" waist, but lo and behold I am able to fasten my pants in the size ordered. Another positive cruelty free product that I can wear comfortably and carry no trepidation when using animal skin.
