Our belts are made by women in Indonesia. Hand loomed. Interlocking had carved wood buckle Stretch elastic will fit 28" to 34" easily. All our belts go through a rigorous quality control process. They are pulled and stretched so we don't get separation at the buckle. Our buckles are fitted to the loomed belt so there is not excess beads showing. We were the first one's to bring these belts to market years ago.
