Thanks for sharing, Nahreen! I think your belt is possibly Bleu Indigo Box/Bleu Electrique Togo, as that was one recently offered. :smile1: (Assuming the dark blue box side looks more like the second photo.)

Thanks. I bought it in store and I forgot to ask and it does not say on the recipt. The dark blue side is smooth and the bright blue side has grainy leather. I think these belts are really versatile with the different leathers and colours. Do you know if one can buy another buckle separately? It would make it even more versatile if I could get a silver buckle as well. If I buy another belt kit of the same size I'll get a different buckle and then I can swap around as I like.

I'm debating getting some straps so I could wear my belt kit at the waist, but I'm hesitant because I can't think of many outfits/pieces I already have where I could wear a waist belt. Any suggestions on what would look good with a H buckle waist belt?

I think a wool dress with turtleneck such as Ralph Laurens wool dresses. Will look good with high boots in winter time. I'm contemplating getting one myself. What do you use the straps for?

I love my H belts but have only worn them with jeans and shorts so far. Very casual. Even with waist belts, I only have wider ones, so I can't imagine how things will look with a thinner belt...

I purchsed my first 24mm beltkit a few weeks ago to wear with a variety of high-waisted dresses I have for work bc I don't like the belts the dresses come with from the store. I posted pics here... Although the dresses are dark, it gives you an idea... I love this belt and will post more pics as soon as I wear another high-waisted dress... in better lighting =)

Thanks! So you opted to have extra holes punched instead of buying a shorter strap? When I was at FSH, they told me to never ever do that and to buy the correct size...not sure why but they took it very seriously...

Nope. I bought a much smaller size (and had extra holes added to it to make it somewhat longer) :p
It's my first strap in size 24mm so I needed a kit. You can't wear a 32mm buckle with a 24mm strap... well, I can't.

Oh hunny, of course they say that... they want you to buy more straps hahaaha

Dear Nahreen, Yes, that makes sense, as Box leather is smooth and Togo is grainy. Unfortunately, the buckles can only be purchased as a kit, with a strap. But extra belt straps can be purchased separately. I agree, the mixing, matching and swapping around is what makes these so fun! Enjoy your new belt. :smile1:

Hi stephc005, Due to scarcity of straps, and to minimize expense, I think many of us opt to have extra holes punched. My boutique has added two holes to my 32mm straps, so that I can wear them higher. But some don't like seeing the extra holes, so opt to get separate straps to wear high waist versus at the hips.
