I liked it out of the box because it has a flexibility which makes the bracelet easy on - easy off. Very well designed and the braids have a depth and subtle shine
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.
