hi, i am new. come all the way from brazil
how are you all doing? i am glad i have found you guys. i have read a lot and have seen many beautiful pics of hermes belts. you all have wonderful styles
anyhow... i thought i would write my first post... and sorry for it being already a request... lol...
but this request i am sure would benefit the group, specially the noobs that are now starting to linto the lovely world of hermes
here is the request... and bellow i will write the reason i ask...
can someone please post pictures of their H buckles (the two sizes available in the market for the constance style) next to a measuring tape... so we can see the measurements to help us avoid not buying stupid fake buckles?
the reason i ask...
in my case i live in goiania (brasil). we dont have a local hermes store here... the closest one is in sao paulo. i have only been there once and do not know people that go there.
i have called the store and they said they would not ship the item to me, and to be honest, i wouldnt want it either... sorry but i dont trust our post office system (nor the GOV by the way).
i then found a friend of a friend that used to travel to NY a lot and had a buckle she wanted to sell. it was in perfect condition. i bought the darn buckle, looked legit with all the things i learned online... she said she would give me the receipt, she just had to find it, but it has been a month and nothing so far.
i know she has gone to NY many times, because she always posts pictures on her facebook, that i know she is not lying... but... with all the fakes out there from china, this thing keeps on bothering me in the back of my head. i have lost sleep over it... sad but true.
i will take pics of the buckle i bought and post here. i bought the 32mm one. well, i believe that is the one i have... i dont even know what to measure to make sure it is the 32mm. do i measure from tip to tip of the H? or from the steam of the H? also so confusing...
anyhow... i think this would help not just me... but also others that are against of counterfeits items out there. i have nothing against people that use them... i just dont like to buy something that they say is the real deal, charge me for it and then it is not. i feel raped.
thanks guys and girls. and happy holidays to all of you out there!
