If you send me a picture with name and brand, I'll hit the city for you to 
find it.  Saves you the cost of a plane ticket.

BTW, if you have a friend that knows Chinese, have him search websites in 
China.  Every button, clasp, and snap of every brand purse and belt is 
available in the grey markets.  You may have to buy a case of them, but I 
bet a case will cost less than a dinner for two.  I only know thins from 
my police days working with the counterfeit guys.
