My beloved gold Togo belt kit...

Hoping to add a silver H belt kit to my collection next!

You look sharp! Love the belt and bag and bag charm

I just bought my first H belt. It is 32 but now had a second thought.

I don't own/wear dress pants, and the belts are strictly for jeans.
I tried 32 w gold H and it was not too screaming so I liked it.

But usually I wear wider belt for jeans....Do everyone here usually use 32 for more like dress or dress pants, and then 42 for jeans??

Any advices will be appreciated...I might have to go back to exchange...

Your observation that the 32mm was not too screaming is very apt.
I too would prefer a 42mm belt (strap) with jeans (and most pants/trousers actually)
however when I looked at the H buckle for the 42mm strap, for my taste it was 'too screaming' - a shame.
Perhaps H could make a shaped strap which would look respectably wide enough through jeans loops yet narrow to accommodate the tradition 32mm H at the ends.

I have two 32mm kits so have the option of gold or silver H with black, light tan, dark blue and green straps: it is a very useful and flexible combination.

Perhaps I should investigate 42mm again.

Thank you for your reply.....So do you often wear your 32 with your jeans?

I decided to keep 32mm this time since price difference is not that small, $815 VS $1300....

Next time, I am thinking to get 42 but silver H so maybe less screaming compare to gold H even if it is 42mm....

Yes, I do wear them with jeans, which are always Levis 501s. I often choose the light tan (Togo) with gold.
This is the black/lt tan combination that is most common for men.
I would like to get a shiny darker more reddish tan, but have never seen one.

I have had the black/lt tan with gold 10 years ago (half the price they are now!) and used to wear it mainly with the black side showing. I bought the brushed silver with the other strap last year.

I do find it rather amusing that we both choose to wear such obviously recognisable belts but don't want them to be screaming.

does anyone have this problem? My belt straps are all bent from one wear!! I wear them with jeans....
Really badly bent!!

Yeah mine is bent quite a bit, I think you just have to get used to it, and wear it on both sides to even it out?

I can't recall who, but some lovely temptress posted about the availability of an Anemone belt on the EU website! This is my absolute kryptonite so after trying to show some restraint...I caved in about five minutes!

So the combination is the lovely anemone (textured) and capucine (smooth) with gold H buckle - 32mm. Then of course I had to browse a little...Is it overkill to add the black (smooth)/mallard (textured) - 32mm? I currently only have the Constance red/black, but messed up the sizing so this is a waist belt only for dresses etc, so these would be jeans/pants belts on my hips.

Enabling time...

Thank you so much for your reply and advice Mininana!!

I'd love to see a mod shot of the Anemone if you have one handy. Do you find this works/gets good wear as a belt? I use my CDC all the time so imagine the belt would be the same and love the red as a pop of colour as the other option, but it would be great to know from someone who has one.

Of course I need a classic black () and I think the pretty teal colour would be a nice accent and work well with pinks, purples, neutrals, etc.

Oooh, excited!!

It's a horrible pic but it's right when I got it last year. I had just given birth so it's not the best pic. Now it's a great size for the hips and jeans. I rarely wear it because of what I posted above about the bending issue

My other belt is black and gold with a rose gold cdc buckle






I do reach for the anemone a lot more!!!!

 

[Pollypocket1]

Just wondering if anyone sent their H belt in to repair before? My belt just dropped on the floor and now there are some small dents on it. Wonder if they would charge me a hefty sum for it too

 

[Live1]

Just bought my third 42mm constance belt kit blue izmir and saphire with yet another gold polished buckle I love the polished gold so luxurious and works with all belt straps .plus they only had gold shiny so i grabbed it.I'll get some pics up
Soon.really nice it's epsom and swift on the imzur side
I had to get a size too big unfortunately because they have very very limited sizes and buckle colour and finish available so I grabbed it really fast and put 1 extra hole in it.well they did it for me

Thank you so much for the amazing pics Mininana! I'm sold!!

Adore your black with rose gold CDC belt and the pretty frilly skirt (and those fab nails) too!

A bit worried about this bending issue. I hate how designers do this. They begin with very high quality; get popular and lots of followers; then standards start to dip. I've definitely noticed the same with Valentino. Not okay!

And yet I keep on buying...like now - belt time!

Ugh I know! The only reason why I bought the cdc belt was the fabulous buckle and being able to switch between them!!

Plus I got that one in Paris and was shocked at how cheap is was compared to anemone. The anemone I got on a trip to Chile and paid twice as much!!!


I love them both but they are on the thin side (like a Birkin strap) so they bend. A LOT. I get so worried so I wear them when I know I won't be sitting a lot, so not for work anymore. Crazy right?

I LOVE the pretty rose gold CDC buckle, but the anemone just has me drooling! So gorgeous!

I pulled the trigger and grabbed both belts above!! I'll post mod shots when they arrive.

I was amazed by the pricing too. I went via the EU website and got them for about half the price of what I can in AUS - not that these colour options are ever available here anyway!! ullhair:

Remain worried about this bending issue...I guess I'll have to see how I go with them...

Thanks for all your help Mininana.
