got the Domino buckle, thanks to etoile de mer :hugs:

and one called Satin which is both matte and shiny


Right, the Satin buckle is my favorite too. It was not available in the States until a month ago if I remember correctly and I had to as my friend to have it acquired in France back in May. Enjoy it!

Yay, so glad to hear! :heart: You know I love the Domino, and the Satin is fabulous, too! I've never seen it before. Such a subtle and understated version of the H buckle. And new straps came home with you, too? :graucho: Enjoy your new buckles!
 
When you ladies buy belts, do you get one for your pants and a separate strap for "higher" up?

Hi Nolia, I purchase my straps so that the largest hole is the one I use for jeans. Then I request two extra holes be punched, so that I can wear them higher up, as well. This gives me five holes to choose from, fitting from waist to hips. Using the smallest hole, they end up a smidge large for my waist, but work well over a sweater. Due to scarcity, and expense, I thought this was the best option. If you can try one on in your boutique, maybe your SA could advise if this would work for you. Best wishes!

Thank you so much for this advice. I'm a sucker for practicality and versatility. :hugs:
 
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!
 
Belt straps! Left: orange/capucine. Right: white/blue de galice

Gorgy strap combos SMama!!!! I was craving the orange/capucine combo sooooo badly for a few months but recently caved when my SA offered orange/gold in the Constance size. I hope I never come across the orange/capucine bc it's so delish... I can't resist :p

Oh, gorgy pairings as well! Congrats!!!
 
Hi everyone,

I have been wanting an Hermes h belt for sometime, and probably will do for some time as I don't intend to start collecting hermes until late 2014/early 2015 as I have some LV items i still wish to get.
Anyways, I have a question regarding the classic gold or silver H buckles for both the 32mm and 42mm belt kits... Would you guys recommend buying the cheaper shiny finish versions of the buckles or the brushed finish version of the buckles?
I ask this because originally I wanted to buy both a 32 mm and 42 mm belt with a brushed silver buckle. I was under the impression that the brushed finish versions of the buckles were less prone to scratching etc. however upon my reading through this thread, I have seen the same amount, if not more scratches on the brushes finish versions of the belt buckles.

Responses from those with experiences with both shiny and brushed h buckles are truely appreciated.

Thank you. :).
