I got this from the seller "PeruvianVogueCrafts" on etsy last year hoping to have a pretty work belt I could feel good about wearing, but unfortunately this belt didn't suit that purpose. My belt loop caused the wool to quickly pill, and the belt buckle caused pain during physical labor. Nonetheless this is still a very pretty belt that was obviously made with love. Because I wear somewhat baggy clothes outside of work, wearing it for fashion is a difficult choice for me. I'd rather see someone else wear it instead. This belt is pilled from use during a physical job, but the pilling is mostly only visible from the side, and is very subtle from the front. The underside is also messy, but this is probably a consequence of it being handmade, not wear. The worst of the frontal pilling was trimmed before photos were taken for this listing.
