Hey JoshFL,

Hello, I have the blue sapphire/colvert combination and I think the swift is just beautiful. Its a leather that can be dressed up or down (IMO), as to where I think epsom is more of a casual leather. Again its just my opinion and hope it helps on your decision making. Good luck :smile1:

Hi Jake! Thanks for your feedback!

Though I have a black (chamonix) and etoupe (epsom) belt and I really like the way the leather brings out the etoupe color, epsom is not necessarily my first option.

I really want the sapphire blue belt and I enjoy colvert, so I decided to buy this strap! Can't wait for my belt to arrive!
 
Hello Ladies and Gents! I have a dilemma... I have been collecting belts for the past few years and wanted an opinion. I currently have the Rouge H/Casaque belt combo, and wondered if the the Rouge Grenat was a big of enough difference in color to purchase. I love the craie color but not enough to just buy a strap for just one color. Any help/comments/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you :smile1:
Hi Jake. I don't know much about the red color tones, but rouge great seems like a great option! Some might say rouge H is similar to rouge grenat, but rouge grenat appears to have a richer tone, with similarities to a rich wine or pomegranate. Craie is also a great color and an appealing option to have!
 
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! :p

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...:graucho:

dmand, we are twins on the anemone.caucipe belt ~ mine arrived from Europe a few weeks ago. It is AMAZING!! major congrats. :clound9:
 
AFAIK, Hermès only sells belt kits, i.e. belt and buckle together, so you'll have to purchase a new belt altogether if you want one from the store. On the resale market you may be able to find buckles on their own.

Doubtful this would happen today; many years ago I had a lovely SA at the Madison Avenue store. I mentioned I really wanted a brushed silver H buckle but didn't want to purchase another kit. She disappeared for a few minutes came back and handed me the buckle. It seems the buckle was slightly damaged and was on its' way back to Paris. I looked closely and couldn't find a thing wrong with it. We added it to my other purchases and I left the boutique happily surprised. I have no idea how she entered it in the register but I paid 80 dollars for the buckle. Again this happened over ten years ago. Yes, I'm still enjoying it.
 
Finally wore my Rose Tyrien belt strap last week. It was raining so it was a marvelous alternative to my Rose Sheherazade croc strap which I worry about getting water spots on. First world problems, I know. But whatever. The RT is also amazing with the contrast stitching!!! Love it


Omg! I saw this at the last CT TPFer meetup and was really tempted, but just not sure I can carry it off... It looks fantastic on you! No question you carry it off well [emoji106]

Hmmmm... maybe 10 years ago buckles cost $160 and Hermes didn't have the "must buy a belt kit" rule in place so she sold you a damaged buckle for 50% off like the H sales :p Just my guess.
