I've been eyeing to this goodie and finally "IN"! Let me introduce Claire/Etain with argent PHW. Got my first kelly in etain a month ago and first belt also in etain. I think I am pretty lucky with etain Currently I am waiting for the darker combo with GHW.View attachment 2158674

PS. I got informed that this is limited edition color combo which I am not sure of .

OH! Hi twin!!!
FYI: The colors are Craie (chalk) to Etain dear, not Claire. Fabulous buckle u selected too! I will check with my SM to see if this is LE but he didn't mention that when I bought it today...

Its so funny you got that today. I actually thought about stepping in the boutique today. My SA called me late last week but I wasn't able to pick up...Im gonna assume the white strap I WAS waiting for is in...either that or she just wanted to show me something I may be interested in.

UGH I always miss when they have the belt kits on H.com!!! Makes me so sad to see all of those that were available!

Love the Craie and Etain ladies!! So pretty. I'll post my little family later tonight or tomorrow!

the buckle should NOT move around when it is securely fastened in the leather strap.

This is not necessarily true. If the hole that secures the buckles is stretched (and it happens with use) the buckle will move and is even liable to fall off the strap.

i thought it was mentioned the belt buckle was bought brand new?

I don't recall reading anything about the belt itself. Leather stretches. If the belt was used, even slightly, if it is being cinched tightly, it can stretch.

Frankly, the reason we no longer authenticate belts is because they are too easy to fake, especially the buckles. So trying to determine whether the fact that a belt is moving in the strap means it is fake is nearly pointless.

The belt was new in box. I only wore it once. It's not the holes that are loose, it just has the ability to move inbetween the metal loop a little (if I was unclear). It's just so frustrating because everytime they become available online, they're gone before I can get one! I read that London Heathrow is a good place to grab one. Ill have to stop in during my layover in a couple weeks.

My dear I.F., we are of one heart. I, too, adore the belts. I have 3 straps and 2 buckles and love them to death. Yours are all expertly selected with the greatest discrimination - the newest addition is, true to form, exquisite.

My next objective is to get a strap in some kind of blue...hydra would be wondrous...

 

[ruriko]

i haven't seen black/black yet. the darkest color combo i saw were black/ ebene.

Thanks .In that case , I should not look for a reversible one given the combo of black togo with black swift is not available at all . But Hermes still product pure black belt which could place normal H constance buckle on ,right ? If so ,does it comes with both sides in swift/Togo/Epsom ?

Thanks hun! This kit is perfection with another little treat I picked up... it was like they were both just waiting for me to show up... just waiting to pounce on my wallet like a lion on it's prey

U better get in there. Wait, U didn't get the white strap yet????

Yes, it's funny how H can unite the souls with the rich colors and textures... the way everything just flows together effortlessly... it's so highly addictive... and since I love to wear COLOR... it's very hard to turn down once it's wrapped around my limbs. sigh

I have a BE to Graphite belt kit. The BE is amazing. I am kicking myself for turning down Blue Hydra/Crocus months ago. I wanted a Quiz buckle and they didn't have it so I passed. Dummy.

I would love to see you collection dear Hermezzy!!!!

Does anyone know how much Hermes charges to shorten the belt strap?

Haha yeah I have it. I've just been so excited about it, and busy, that I never told her. BTW I too would love to see both yours and Hermezzy's collection.

Oh my H queen, I'd feel too inadequate! I have these three straps:
1. Traditional black to gold/tan (box/togo)
2. Orange to chocolate (dark) brown
3. (newest arrival) Sanguine to white (I love this one!)
My buckles are:
1. Shiny polished silver
2. Stiree vertical lines gold

My jaw nearly hit the ground when you mentioned BE to graphite...that must be absolutely, showstoppingly beautiful. Those are two of my favorite H colors...in one strap that would probably make me faint! What a fortunate person you are to have gotten that! ...and yet, I'm so very glad that that beautiful combo found its way into your hands, as no one does Hermes color like you, my dear. NO one!
