This embroidered belt is a masterpiece. The combination of blue and white is reminiscent of the North Carolina flag and perfectly reflects the state's nickname "The Pitch Heel State". It is the perfect combination of creativity, authenticity and quality. The attention to detail on this North Carolina needle belt is outstanding as we see a seamless transition in the colors of the handwork with every stitch. The design leaves visitors and residents with a lasting impression of Carolina's charm. The finishing touch to this masterpiece is a sturdy leather buckle, adding strength and durability to the belt. Every time I wear it I feel like I'm carrying a piece of North Carolina with me and it always goes with any outfit I wear. I highly recommend this amazing belt which is the epitome of North Carolina at its best!
