Hi all!

I just made my first Hermes purchase ever, I bought a vintage Hermes H buckle belt, in VERY good condition.

I was wondering, should I treat the leather with leathercream to keep it in good shape? or am I supposed to do nothing to it?

Thanks in advance!

Congrats on your first acquisition. I agree that nourishing is a good idea, but read some of Docride's comments on leather care to help you choose the best product.
It's worth pulling the strap through your fingers after you take it off to straighten it if you intend to reverse it and use both sides.

I really am bummed about the change in the 32mm, no longer offering the square edge. I just started my collection and I love the 32mm size, the first strap I purchased was the men's one because I wanted black/gold, thinking I would buy a square edge later. I just purchased a blue/black strap in the "new" design, my SA said it was a cross between the men's and the unisex so we will see. But I had to get a strap because I really wanted the rose gold gamma buckle. I am disappointed in the change for the 32, and I don't love the smaller size as much. Also, I never loved the CDC, but it is such a classic I wonder if I should get one just to have! Also - I'm new to this forum, I found it while I was researching about the change in the 32 strap design.

I do give my belt leather some nourishment, it helps keep them supple and the edges from becoming dry.
Hope this helps.

Like Rouge H, I do my own self spa on my belt straps annually, especially the light colored ones to avoid color transfer.
It is about that time to do it again and I use docride's recommendations.

Hermezzy, could not find any of docride's products on ebay to remove scratches from the buckles. Can you provide an exact name or PM me? Thanks!

No. No. No.
If you 'never loved the CDC' don't buy it just because it is a classic. ( and I am not saying thus because I do not like CDC in any of its guises)
Buy something else that you will enjoy.

Perhaps H will rethink its ideas about the 32mm belt straps. The men's version does need belt loops and before that was introduced what became the ladies' version worked just as well with belt loops for guys or without on dresses.

Hi all, could someone please clarify for me.
Have the 32mm belts changed recently.
SwiftyTK's post above refers to the change but I am not aware of it, and being an avid belt lover hope that it isn't going to be too much of a difference.
Thanks in advance.

My SA told me they have discontinued the unisex or women's version which ever you call it. The one with the squared off edge, and they are now only making the Men's tapered version. My SA told me the new 32mm is a cross between the tapered and the flat edge, but I wonder if there will really be a difference. I ordered one of the new 32mm straps so I can post a pic when I get it. But yes, the squared off edge 32mm is being discontinued. That is why the stock is so low.

You are right. I'm not going to get it. There are other buckles I would prefer! I hope they reconsider in the future. To me the squared off edge is a great feature. I'm really bummed about it.
