Here's how I buckle mine, and I've never had trouble with the strap slipping:
Hooray for the Halzan...

Ah yes. I feel so stupid now! So I was looping this the wrong way round.. thanks for solving my problem! Now I am amazed that my bad didn’t drop at all despite I haven’t looped this correctly. Thanks for all your help!
Does anyone know how much barenia halzan 31 costs now? The 2017 price list indicates €4950 or €1100 more than clemence, was wondering if the gap remains the same or widened
In the US, it costs 7100 USD, so 1500 more than clemence.
Thanks for the info! Guess there is really a big $ difference for clemence vs barenia for halzan, and in % terms, the difference seems to be larger than B/C
Could anyone give me advice about the Halzan 31 – specifically wondering if I could fit a new 13” MacBook Pro in it in case I had to.
Most of the time I wouldn’t need to, but there might be occasions when I didn’t have my laptop bag.
I searched and there was one comment saying don’t do it, but that seemed more like ‘don’t use it as an everyday laptop bag’, which I wouldn’t do.
Thanks very much.

My 12 inch MacBook fits but only when the bag is carried as a tote.
Quick question for all my fellow Halzan lovers---I currently have a barenia 31---but am thinking of getting the all black clemence (without the white topstitching). Do any of you have this one, and if so, how much are you able to use it in the evening? Or if you don't do you think that it transitions well from day to evening (as a clutch or shoulder bag)? I am thinking of this as a really great day to evening travel bag that would hold as much and be as hardy as a Chanel caviar jumbo. Though I'm not sure that it would be quite as elegant as the Chanel. Thoughts? Many thanks in advance!
Something you guys probably have heard a thousand times, but I am usually to be found on the Chanel forum. Been buying Chanel for years and only ever purchased Hermes shoes and jewelry which I adore. I was never that interested in an H bag with the exception of a Kelly one day (already declined several Ks and Cs since I knew they would not work with my current lifestyle), the Halzan caught my eye one year ago. Been lurking this thread since then and actually chose to purchase it back in April. Since then, I tried to get one in a particular colour I had set my eyes on. It was nearly impossible (it was available online, but I prefer buying from the boutique). All colours came in except for the one I wanted in a size 31. I nearly bought green and red but last minute decided to wait. Went to the store yesterday for some earrings and my better half came with me. He saw the mini size which I never considered due to its capacity and leather type and made me try it on in Bleu Zanzibar. I am only using large shoppers from Mon-Fri since I carry my laptop to work every day, so all my other bags only get used on the weekends. I was surprised about how lightweight it was and how perfectly it went with my proportions. Needless to say, I instantly fell in love with the mini but none was left in the colour I wanted. The SA left to do another check and didn't return for about 20 minutes. When she came back, she carried a box and I was finally able to see and try the Halzan in Bleu Électrique - the colour I had wanted.
Glad I listened to my better half and tried on the mini. Since I don't need it as an everyday bag, I am more than content with what my Halzan can carry. The stitching and overall workmanship on this little beauty is superb. Very happy with my first Hermes bag (and yes, I assume this is going to be another slippery slope...).

Congrats!! Im also one of those Chanel girls SLOWLY converting.. so happy you got the color you’ve always wanted!!
Thank you! And yes, very happy I was patient. Been a bit disappointed with Chanel bag quality lately (not so for RTW) and always admired H bags for being produced so neatly with accurate stitches and the most wonderful pieces of leather, so let's see where that journey takes me
