The buckle is held in place by two buttons. When removing the label/tag one of the latches just popped out. Note that it didn't open, but the part that was supposed to stay in place (clamped) detached immediately. Unfortunately, there is no way to fix this and not put on a belt. Either way - poorly done, the button had to be ruffled *without* the label fabric in place. We return and look for another version of the belt.
