The bag is really good, the leather is much darker than shown in the picture and will quickly smooth with frequent use. The buckle is indeed made of plastic but stable and the belt can be adjusted for adults very well to the required length - for children you get them may not be tight enough. A big drawback is the appeal closing: This is pretty bad and processed leiert quickly, so you soon when closing notes that it incites and after violent rearing followed by slow, gentle pinch also remains closed.
