thanks VigeeLeBrun. I was considering a different buckle but the mini constance looks nice in RGHw. the strap colors are Bleu indigo/ Rose eglantine.

cloee, imo you cannot go wrong with a Constance buckle in any size ~ a coincidence because I am considering a brushed silver larger Constance buckle with a 42mm strap. New territory for me as I have a collection of 32mm belt kits in a variety of colors and buckles. I do not have a Constance buckle right now ~ the one I did buy I gave to my youngest DD.

Also, love Bleu indigo/ Rose eglantine color combination! Very pretty. :love:

Does anyone know the difference from the men's 32mm belt kit and the women's 32mm belt kit? If I bought the men's kit is the buckle the same so I could later buy a extra belt from the women's?

Something important to note on the "men's" and "women's" belts.... The men's version is not only tapered on both ends but also has an elongated tab on the side that the buckle attaches to. In other words, this side is quite a bit longer and must fit through another belt loop on the side of your pants, if that make sense. It is a nice, clean look if the proportion works on you as the front tab doesn't just stop in the center of your jeans or pants, though for some it may be too long with certain belt loops. Most people buy them interchangeably without regard for "men's" or "women's."

Luckylove, thanks for the excellent explanation of the differences between the men's and women's belt straps and how they will wear. As you noted, the big difference is where the longer tapered end sits with respect to the belt loops on you pants (your pants need to have a belt loop in the right place to hold the "tail" or else it will droop or stick out) and does the proportion look good. I have both men's and women's straps (because of the colour choices offered) but ultimately prefer the women's because the front tab stops just past the centre of my jeans.

I have both styles and prefer what I believe to be the original - with the shorter square tongue. The ladies part of the website often offers 90-110 cm lengths so I think if other guys would prefer that style it might still be available to us.

Hi! Was hoping to get you guys' opinions on some Hermes belts! I don't own any at this time but have had my eye on the belt kit with the CDC buckle as well as the Kelly belt. I'll be going to the UK for vacation at the end of this month and was planning on taking advantage of the low GBP exchange rate and finally getting the belts. My question is, what color belt buckle would you choose? I can't decide between the silver and rose gold CDC. And for the Kelly belt, between the silver and yellow gold on a black belt. Would appreciate any input! Thanks!

Personally, I would go with the Rose Gold (RGHW) CDC belt and the silver (PHW) Kelly belt kits. Those are the ones that will get the most wear for me. Hope that helps, but it all depends on your closet and your H accessories that you already own.

I almost never use my belt but mine is rose gold CDC and so beautiful. I just hate the clicking noise. It's kind of annoying.

Someone on this thread mentioned putting just a little bit of transparent sticky stuff ~ non-damaging ~ on the ring so that it doesn't click. That might enable you to wear your belt more because that buckle sure is a beauty, Mininana.
