I'm a bit disappointed, anyone able to give me advice?
So here's the story; I bought a Hermés belt kit 32 m with the Black and and togo and today was the first day I ever got to wear it (purchased it this Saturday) and the belt have already lost a lot of it's form. The belt is no longer even straight in the middle,it's bent down at the middle of the belt and when I hold it up from one end to the other you can just see how bad the shape is. I just feel so disappointed, anyone know if the belt will regain it's original shape/form since it's soft leather or any other advice you might have! I am happy whatever advice I get. I really thought this belt would hold up better... :sad:

Leather stretches, and your waist (certainly not hips) is not a perfect circle. The belt curves like that if it's worn cinched tightly, as that is the point on your pants that is most likely to pull downwards, especially when you are sitting. It's not a quality flaw, it's just the way leather will flex when worn as a belt.

^Exactly what MK said.

Your belt hoop on the back center of your pants will pull the leather strap if your belt is tight and you sit. Most of my belt straps that I wear with jeans look like that... the ones I wear with slacks to work don't look like that since my pants aren't tight. It's not a quality thing....

Thanks for the good feedback! So the belt won't really go back to it's original shape? Also another question (if you bother), do you store your belt in the box when not using it? Sorry if my questions seem dumb but it's my first Hermés belt and it won't be the last so I need your guidance hehe:greengrin:

No worries dear. That is what this forum is for :hugs:

No, it will never go back to the original shape once you have worn it and the natural bends in the leather occur. They may appear less obvious if you massage the leather. No, I do not store my belts in the original box because it's too cumbersome and I want to grab and go. I do store them in the circular shape (not hanging them). I think I posted a pic of my actual collection and how I store them a few days ago actually....

It's interesting because I never really noticed any of this until you asked these questions. I think part of the reason is because I just enjoy the belt and not stress out so much about this type of wear-and-tear because after all it is just a belt.... it's expensive... but it's a piece of leather. It will stretch, the buckle will scratch, but it's a belt. Period. You will have to get over the fact that you paid a lot of money for something that will get used.... and not stay perfect.... the first scratch will probably really bother you too... but you will still cherish it.

I guess since I'm not so old yet (18 hehe) purchasing these things for that amount of money makes me really caring and careful hehe. Also you are right, when I first bought my clic-clac and got the first scratch I panicked but now I've worn it so much the scratches don't bother me. Thank you for the feedback, again! :D

I don't think it has anything to do with age.... I'm far from old my dear.... it's recognizing the value of a dollar and working hard for it :laugh:

At the end of the day, these are ultra high-end products... but they are belts. Luxury belts for the ultra rich or those like me who are insane person addicted to H :laugh: Just because they are Hermes, doesn't mean they are better quality than Walmart brand leather belt. We might want to believe they are.... but.....well.

Didn't mean to insult you, I'm so sorry!

You are most definetly right, but wearing a Hermés belt feels 100 times better then wearing a Walmart brand belt :laugh:

Calling out Israeli_Flava and Hopiko! I have NEVER owned a hot pink accessory in my life and now we are triplets....I don't know who I am anymore....[emoji8][emoji8][emoji8]...got the rose gold buckle...[emoji177]

....and to return the favor (here's looking at you, I_F)...

(Pssst!!! It's a size 90! [emoji33] Take what you can get and have holes punched! We added one hole smaller near the rest and then one much smaller to wear at my waist, they said I can add more if I need!)

RT is one of those colors that is undeniably a must-have... and will sell out...and will be gone for too many Hermes years to fathom. Some things you just have to jump on. So I purchased the strap. It is not delivered yet but I will snap a few pics for you.

I do think some pinks are girly but I don't think just wearing a pink belt makes your entire look super girly at all. It's just a pop. I know ladies here that are not girly at all but have gravitated to hot pink hues for pops of pink in theiir outfit but would never wear a rose sukura shade of pink bc it is super girly. Anything "baby" colored, IMO, is super girly but RT passes as mildly girly :laugh:

Thanks for getting back to me IF :smooch: I guess I'll need to ask my SA to get one in for me, and see how I like it. I agree, RS is very girly IMO it wouldn't suit me at all. It looks lovely on other people though.

I can't wait to see how the RT strap looks on you when it arrives. It will look amazing, the color is so "you" :D
