Forest & Platinum Metallic Reversible Leather Belt

The quality of this belt is significantly different from the ones I purchased from Cesoli in late 2021 or 2022. While those belts cost $45, this one is more than double, almost triple, the price for a product that is less durable and of lower quality. I understand that factors such as supply chain costs and inflation contribute to this discrepancy, but it extends well beyond those.

The belt is visually appealing, and if I didn't own other Cesoli belts, I'm sure I would find it quite lovely. However, it lacks the structure and thickness of previous belts, causing the holes to stretch and loosen. Furthermore, it is not stitched around the edges( a handful of other belts that still appear to be)with no clear difference in their descriptions as to what drives that- maybe those ones are still a better quality. I worry that, with rising prices and thinner, less durable belts, customers may eventually stop buying them, which is regrettable, as I own a number of their belts and buckles.

Beautiful!!!
