I have been purchasing these belts for a couple of years now. They are beautiful. However, they don't hold up anymore. The rip apart where you fasten them at the waist. I have contacted the seller on numerous occasions to get no reply. I have even sent pictures of the belts. The one I just ordered in March has already started the same exact thing. Falling apart. The quality is not there any more! I will not be purchasing another one of these. I don't approve of the seller communication either. Did I mention that the prices have gone up also? Because they have. Not happy. Save your money and pay 5.00 more for a good quality belt.
