The 32 size is at the moment not in production for women. You find more info in the ”Official Hermes Belt Thread”. The design is slightly different for women. As for your question about the Las Vegas store, perhaps you can post it in the ”Las Vegas Hermes” thread [emoji3]

Do you know the differences between the men’s and women’s designs for the 32 mm H belt?

Yes, if you look at the strap you can see that where the belt buckle is the women’s belt has a shorter piece of leather with a straight cut

while the men’s belt has a longer different style of cut near the buckle.

In the Hermès Reference Library you can find a thread with belt pics only that might be interesting for you. The pics are mostly of women’s belts.

Yeah that was the only difference I noticed as well, I just didn’t know if there were more. I wonder if they’ll be bringing back the 32 mm for women? Or do you know if some women are buying the men’s version? It’s just my favorite style in the belts.

I haven’t asked about it at FSH, my guess is not for a while. I also love the 32mm and happy that my 32 belt collection is complete. My niece has a couple of belts in the men’s design, she doesn’t mind using them and it is actually very difficult to see the difference when the belts are carried.

I have a couple of buckles, including the one i just posted, that were always available online for men but I’ve never seen them online for women. Personally I feel the 32 belts are very unisex, for women you could find more purples and pinks of course but the classic gold/ black or orange/black have been available for both. For men at times more options in box or colour combos like bleu de prusse/black.

The tapered end is a fairly recent offering for men.
Men wear belts with trousers or jeans having belt loops, so the extra length has somewhere to tuck in.
It might not be so good for ladies and dresses because there is no keeper on the belt.
Otherwise I don't see why ladies should not use that style.

Okay I just don’t want to settle just because I feel like I have to have it right now. Why I do so much extra research on belts is because last year I ordered the Gucci GG Marmont belt on their website once it became available in my size in September and did not receive it until two days before Christmas. Come to find out, even though I ordered it under the women’s belts section, they sent me the men’s version that has the pointed end instead of the rounded end that the women’s version has. I matched up the product codes and they matched the version under the men’s section and no longer have it under women’s. Part of me thinks Gucci just sent out so many belts they didn’t bother really checking if it was men’s or women’s and now I wish I had the rounded end. I just don’t want to rush into it if Hermès is planning on bringing back the women’s version with the straight end. Sorry for the long post lol!

Completely agree.

I have two belts of the new 24mm reversable line but I can only make them work with a dress and I like my Kelly belt more.

Yeah I only plan to wear it with jeans. As long as most don’t see a problem with it, I guess I’m okay! It’s just the OCD in me lol.

I just looked up the #hermesbelt tag on IG and I see sooo many men wearing the straight edge and it looks so weird on them! Lol I’m just so used to seeing it on women I guess but the more I look at the tapered edge, the more I do like it. And some women wear that version and it looks fine! I just think the straight edge looks cleaner to me. Doesn’t make any sense to me why they took it away.

Hope you find the belt that works for you [emoji3]

Just an update for anyone else who’s wondering: I just called the customer service line for Hermès and they said they are no longer making the straight edge for the 32 mm belt, the new tapered edge is the one they are using now and they are unisex even though it’s listed under men’s only on their website. She said the only belts that will have the straight edge are the 13 mm and 24 mm size and those are listed under women’s.
