That's a bit of a letdown! Looks like you need something to cinch all the ends together. Maybe a small flap of donor leather you can fold over the ends and stitch? Then I presume you could undo the rivet or drill it out and replace.

Take a very thin leather, contact adhesive, and glue to the flat piece of leather. Ideally you will also use a Singer walking foot patcher to sew across the loose pieces and hold them to the new strip. Then that can be glued/stitched/riveted to the buckle part.

Sorry for being off-topic, but does anyone know how to fix this woven belt? Was purchased from a workshop in Florence.
The buckle section just has a sort of screwed rivet on it to secure. But how should the woven section be prepared to attach? It looks as if they used some sort of tape to join the loose woven sections!
