I spent a considerable amount of time searching for a leather band that would be both beautiful and durable. I finally found this one...ordered it...and it IS everything that I hoped it would be. I highly recommend it, and love the thought that it (hopefully) is helping to support artists around the world.
I bought this as a gift for my son and he really likes it. It is well-made and has a secure clasp. I would have no problem giving it as a gift for a woman, too.
