Using this belt is a breeze. Just unzip the back, put it around your waist, and adjust the side straps to your preferred size. When wearing it, you can pair it with various outfits to add a touch of gothic style. As for maintenance, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid scratching the artificial leather and suede. You can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth if it gets dirty. Be careful not to expose it to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for a long time, as this may damage the material.
