Yes the mini CDC belt is slim enough to go thru pants hoops unlike the regular CDC belt.
From the top of my head I cannot remember the price but i'll try and dig up the receipt to check.

I've been wondering how people get that thing through their pants. Thank you!

Thank you, I've been drooling over your CDC and Clic H collection for a while now

Aww thanks! I have been a wee bit obsessed with CDCs for a while now. I have recently moved to Clic Clacs. H is so dangerous

I was also going to ask u about the mini CDC belt. Is that a recent Boutique purchase??? I'm wondering if it's currently available. I want to inquire with my SA as I think I would prefer that style over the regular CDC belt which I find too big/clunky for my wardrobe style....

I wanted to share some photos of my belt kits that I took recently. Enjoy!

On the 32 mm strap/buckle. The yr code, size, H stamp, etc. should be at the end of the belt near the 3 holes as opposed to the single hole for the buckle. Therefore, left end is correct. HTH.

So this would be fake then for a 32mm strap right?

And just for good measure here is the buckle

I've never seen the 18k stamp on the buckle before...

Sorry, I know we don't authenticate belts anymore. I'm just terribly upset because I bought this after wanting it for years...

What's weird is I found a youtube video of a guy who has this exact same belt with the same flaws but he has a receipt from Hermes in Chicago purchased just a month ago?

I noticed that a lot of fake belt buckle looks like the Knob and the bar have been attached by screwing it in, while the authentic ones have the knob and bar connected. That's the easiest way to tell if its fake or not.

Man, the more and more I look at these belts. I'm falling in love haha.

Thanks for the good discussions everyone.

The mini CDC belt is approximatively 1,5in wide while the regular CDC belt is around the 2in mark.

I bought the mini late last year in Europe before the price increase.

After conversion the price would be around $1850 but keep in mind that Hermès is always pricier in the U.S.

I'm in
I starded to collect H items very late last year (around Christmas) and so far I've been focusing on belts and enamels bangles. (tbh I don't think I'll ever have the mean to purchase a bag anyway)

So here's my small belts collection from top to bottom : mini CDC belt with GHW - blue/orange kit with chaine d'ancre buckle - black/brown kit with constance buckle - regular CDC belt with GHW

Thanks for letting me share

Nice!

I'm so sorry you are having such a nightmare. I can't even pretend to try to authenticate this but if you really think about it... if someone can make a fake of the H strap and H buckle, how easy is to make a fake receipt and list it on the internet? I just don't take chances. I can't trust just anyone. Boutique only for me and no headaches.

Thank you! And yes, always an excellent excuse for a Paris getaway

The receipt in that video is fake as far as i can tell. I would assume the belt is too. I would try to get my money back.

Since belts are not being authenticated, maybe we should use this thread as a reference and share pics that could help one to recognize a real belt from a fake one.
I have 2 kinds of belts and the stamping differs from one to the other and I will gladly share pictures but I'll wait for other posters input. (I know some people think showing pictures helps counterfactors)

 

[palmbeachpink]

No, please don't make separate authentication threads for anything.

Thanks.

my goodness mistikat, i did not mean to imply an authentication thread! just a post asking a question! believe me i know how much you do for tpf!!

back to topic, just bought a romance belt in mykonos with GHW, hoping to be able to wear it with summer twills! not sure if they are still making these as mine had an O stamp bought new at H.....i would love to get one in white too!
