What a Wonderful Surprise! The first pleasant surprise was that this belt came in a nice box. The other straps I bought are just packed in a bag. Anyway, I open the box and am even more pleasantly surprised by the packaging! At the top of her belt hung a cute little card with a pressed wildflower and the perfect saying. VERY COOL as I am a total freak of wildflowers! The belt itself is beautiful dark leather and looks like it will last for many years. I will most likely order black. Thanks for a great product!
