1. Slide 1 end of the leather strap (with only 1 punched hole) thru the buckle metal loop and push the metal button thru the hole.
2. The buckle is now attched to the leather belt.
3. To wear the belt, slide the other end of the leather belt (with 3 punched holes) thru the buckle metal loop again and fasten to any of the holes with the same metal button.

You can always bring the leather belt to any H stores or cobblers to punch extra holes if the belt is too large. Larger size is good, more bangs for your money since you can wear it with low-waist jeans or wear it high waist with dress if you punched extra holes!
Rest assured it won't be your 1 & only H belt, you can always buy other sizes for your next 1 in differenct color/leather combi ;)

:smooch: Thank you!!
 
Purseinsanity, you have a fellow moron here! I was searching around for the answer. Thanks kewave! My SA always puts the belts together when I try them. I finally decided on the new 32mm CDC buckle with black/vert veronese strap. :love: The stap had to ship...so I was on my own last night.

I have 2 remaing questions....when I attach the buckle to the single hole, the strap extends past the buckle. I don't remember this in the store and it seems off. Also when I briefly tried it on with the vert side showing and put the strap part with the holes back through the metal loop on the underside of the buckle, it left a mark on the black side! This also didn't seem right.

Any thoughts or am I just ultra anal? I was thinking about driving down to the store to make sure everything is kosher....

:p I feel better now!
 
Purseinsanity - I also got mine 80cm too and yes it's big if you're talking about it going around your natural waist, but if you'll also be wearing it with jeans or pants that sits lower on the hips, then it would be perfect. What you would need to do is take it to any H store and have them put an extra hole at the other end, so it'll be more versatile. I noticed other members had already give some good instructions on putting together the belt kit.

Thank you for your help! I'll have to take it with me to BH when I go see my sister. Hope they'll do it for me there even though I didn't buy it from that particular location!
 
I bought the H belt in brushed gold and one side is shiny black leather and the other is grainy leather (Togo, maybe?) in a really dark navy blue... It's almost black if you don't look closely... Does anyone know the name of the blue at all? The SA I bought it from just called it 'dark blue' but I think there maybe a specific name for it and I'd love a bag in the same colour! Thanks :)
 
Being inspired and enabled by all these gorgeous belts on this thread, I just got the
Boucle Centure CDC. It looks fabulous with almost all my different strap colors.
I love the look of the more traditional CDC, but love the option of being able
to use it in belt loops with jeans.

pamella -- thanks to your enabling I just got one in white/silver myself today :)
Love it.
The buckle also comes in permabrass (looks kind of like gold).
 
Thank you pamella...I am so glad you posted the picture of your buckle.
I can't wait to wear it this weekend.
I am plotting the next one already (bad, bad, bad). Do you know if the "Muse" buckle the same size as the CDC buckle? I am thinking maybe to the Muse buckle in gold hardware and get a strap in a different color so I can mix them.

I'm not sure about the Muse, as I don't have one, but I am thinking that it is
the same size! I think that would be a fabulous idea in the gold with a different
color strap so they can all be interchangeable. I have the medium constance
buckle and I can use the straps on either one! Have fun wearing it this weekend, you are going to get alot of compliments on it!!!!
 
Lucky you to have more than one strap already.
My other straps are mini-Constance size, so they are too thin.
I have been trying it with different outfits. So far I like it better on the true waist with dresses. It is my substitute for the wider CDC belt, which I am still waiting for.
For this look it has to be worn pretty tight, because the buckle is heavy and tends to tip over a little if the belt isn't worn snugly. I had a few holes added.
