Too many holes in your belt . So u got 3 more holes punched . If u were to use d original hole which got cracked den y did u get additional punched ..

I like to use my belt for pants and dresses. My hips are much wider than my waist so I have to have it substantially tighter for dresses and around my true waist. Hence the extra holes. My SA told me more holes were fine. In fact, I think my SA punched them for me if I am remembering correctly. I have 4 belts and I had some punched by H and some by a local shoe repair that H recommended. Never had an issue like this.

View attachment 4204864 See this is palladium Hammered buckle available as of now at hermes store , New Delhi , India and it’s 2015 manufactured. Similarly d rouge Grenat leather strap size 95 is September 2017 manufactured. Shud I buy or not ???

If you a buying from one of the legitimate Hermes stores, what is the problem?
Your pictures looked suspicious. What are those labels? Are you thinking of dealing with a reseller?

If it looks good then, there shouldn’t be a problem. I mean I’m not surprised that certain “classic” items are made a couple of years ago. I mean unless the item is like popular items (scarves, bags) or you are buying from a high traffic store, you might very well get a item that was made a while ago.

I’m not even gonna ask my SA how long that solid gold H buckle has been sitting in that shelf.

Actually for INDIAn economy , d price of this belt is very high so the sale is very less . It retails for around 70,000 rupees here which is exceptionally high and v few can afford . Dere are only 2 hermes Botiques in India , at New Delhi and Mumbai

That’s what I meant. Hence the reason why it wouldn’t be surprising to get an item that was made a while ago.

[emoji24]took my 24mm belt out today that I got last year in Italy and noticed one of the holes has a fairly significant crack in the leather. I have worn this belt maybe 3 times. I am considering taking it to my local SA to see what he thinks, but thought I would check with you guys first. I have altered the belt to include 3 additional holes, but the hole with the issue was an original H one. Let me know what you think I should do or if I should just live with it.View attachment 4204976View attachment 4204977

Looks like normal belt wear and tear to me. I have 3 straps..they all have some hole wear.

I would buy from a boutique if you have the option. Manufacture dates don't really matter..some items sit in a store longer than others. Rather than looking at straps from a reseller....I would wait until the 30th and you can browse in person. Good luck.

whatever you decide, you will enjoy

don't worry about the dates

Finally bought my first hermes belt , 32mm, noir/rouge Grenat with Guilloched pallidium H buckle from Hermes Botique at the Chanakya, New Delhi , India . It’s superb . I already have belts from Gucci Fendi Ferragamo LV , but this is class above ...D Botique itself is awesome.. Thanks everyone here for answering all my queries..
