    Thanks Much!  It is pretty spectacular. It is pretty heavy at 1010 grams, but is easily worn because it is so very flexible... it also fits absolutely anyone.  There is a very nice example of such a belt in the 2004 edition of A World of Belts by Anne Leurquin.

    Here is link to our store if you are tempted  ;)

    Well-displayed, and attractive, Annie! I do know the type, and yours has some specially appealing features.
