Hi there,

I'm a total Hermes newbie so please excuse my ignorance.
I'm looking for a Men's constance belt (the classic H belt). I read earlier in this thread that Hermes will be discontinuing this? Does anyone know when it will be discontinued?

Also, I went to the Hermes store at south coast plaza but they don't seem to have them displayed and the sales people are very standoffish so i didn't get an opportunity to ask if they carry it/what styles they carry. Can anyone recommend a good place to purchase this belt?

Thanks so much!

Stupid question - what exactly are the differences between the belt kits and the reversible belts? I have a reversible Chaine d'ancre and it seems like I could use it with another belt strap. Are the Constance ones different? (Never seen the others IRL)

I guess my confusion comes because the belt kits seem much more expensive (at least on eBay) but it seems both have buckles that can be used with other straps. Just trying to understand what makes the belt kits unique.im probably missing something very simple!

Hopefully I won't add to your confusion, Birdonce! :wondering

When buying from Hermes, the only way they will sell a belt buckle, is if a strap is purchased at the same time. The two together comprise a 'belt kit'. These 'belt kit' buckles are attached to the strap via a pin and loop on the buckle. The straps have no loops or hardware, only holes. Extra belt straps can be purchased without a buckle…if you can actually find the size and color you want. They are often scarce! These straps are reversible, excluding the exotic ones, I believe.

I'm not very familiar with the 'reversible belts', but I don't think they are referred to as 'belt kits'. And I'm not sure extra straps are even available for those. The ones I've seen have traditional belt hardware attached to the end.

Certainly not easy to explain…let me know if I can somehow clarify!

So glad to help! Perhaps to verify…click here for a link to the UK H.com 'belt kits' for 32mm. Lots there right now, so at least gives you examples of various buckles and straps. At the bottom of the page, there is a link if you just want to purchase a strap. US H.com page will look the same, when stock is replenished.

Hello:

Here is some info i found out and passing it along, just in case you want to know…

Just an update on the Belts… So since I heard that they were discontinuing the H kit buckle here on TPF and since I am fairly new to Hermes.

One of my orders was cancelled (not because I am greedy but because I was going to get one for a friend of mine as a birthday gift since they were going to be discontinued); anyhow…it was cancelled.

I called to inquire why and it was because H.com will only sell you 3 belts within a "season". I really think within a year because I looked at the calendar and I made my online purchases in two different seasons… summer and autumn. But they said that i will not be able to purchase another "belt", not just "kit" but "belt" until January.

Makes me sad but my H belt kit collection is complete!

I had to try everything in my power to obtain the buckles… Well over the past few months; It took a lot of time searching h.com (thanks to my SP who started me on the craze, lol. love my SP)…

I am excited to say that I have the following…

32: Polished GHW and Polished PHW H Buckles : Black Box/ Gold Togo and Blue Electrique Epsom/ Graphite Swift

42: Brushed GHW and Brushed PHW Constance 2 Buckles: Black Box/ Natural Chamonix and Orange/Gold Epsom….

For those who are having trouble… it may seem impossible but keep your head up and you can do it… still have 4 months left and i did it in a little over three…

Also… even if you max out your online account… you can still purchase from the store because they are two different entities… at least that is what h.com told me...

:D

Hey Everyone ! My SA called me yesterday to tell me of a delivery at my local store. She knows how badly I have been trying to track down a gold/etoupe color combination and so far she has had no luck , however yesterday she informed me there is one gold/sanguine in stock in my size. My question is do you believe this colour combination to be harder to find? Should I get this belt while I still can? I quite like the sanguine color but never thought that I would want a red belt (mind you its more or an orangey red).
Thanks for the help!

I tried that color combo on a few weeks ago and it is nice. It's really personal preference and what you intend to wear it with ie denim etc. I think the size of the belt also matters in how hard things are to find and what your boutique typically orders.

Hi JesseTdot
I bought the sanguine/gold one in Cannes (France) last week. This color combination is hard to find and very chic and classic. The SA told me, that the gold color usually comes only with black, never with etoupe or gray...
I decided to buy it and I'm really lucky.
I'm a guy, but this matte red-orange color is so beautiful to match with brown, beige, grey and blue... Its perfect for autumn :-)
Go for it ;-) Good luck!!!

The gold/sanguine is rare...as are most in seasonal combos.... but this combo is on US H.com now... thing is... when it's gone... it's GONE. If you're remotely interested, I'd snap it up dear. Sanguine in swift is delish!
