That's what I was hoping! I also prefer the experience of purchasing in store, so if the SAs can help find the ideal combination, and this counts towards the purchase history, that would be perfect.
Yes I would definitely find the color combination you want online, then go to the store and show your SA. More than likely they can find it somewhere in the network, or they may even have it in their store's stock.
My first H item was the 32mm reversible belt that I bought in store. It's always better to buy in store from one particular SA that you click/vibe with. That's how you build a profile and relationship with a SA to get harder to get items such as bags in the future. Every purchase is considered, especially ones that are in store as that SA earns commission. Meanwhile, online H purchases still get taken into account, but the SA doesn't earn commission and you don't get the in store experience and relationship building with that SA.
Thank you! What color combination did you end up getting? Ideally I was hoping for a gold brown with the taupe on the other side, but that combination is unavailable so my second favorite is the gold brown with the white on the other side, but I'm worried about issues with color transfer.
I know it's not white---but I have multiple belts in light colors such as orange, yellow, and trench--I have not had a color transfer problem with any of them. I've worn them with blue pants, black pants and dark denim and they all seem to be fine. But I am also very careful with my items as well.
My strap is in Vert-De-Gris and Blanc, so it's kinda like an evergreen colour with white on the other side. Both sides are in Epsom leather (very durable). Yes, I love my belt and still wear it often. My buckle is not produced anymore, it's a more geometric looking H in palladium with 2 colours of lacquer in the H (gris asphalt and noir). If you get Epsom in white, colour transfer isn't really an issue as I wear mine with blue jeans and nothing has transferred.
Your SA should be the one that provides you next steps.
I never wore it, took off the stickers at home a few days after picking it up and realised it doesn‘t click.
It fits a phone! Much bigger than Kelly pocket.Does anyone have an Elan Pocket belt? Is a pocket any bigger than the one Kelly pocket belt has? I only bought a Kelly belt without the pocket back in the day, as pocket these seemed to have a very limited function. Curious to see if anything other than a credit card can fit into the Elan Pocket belt
How often do you use your belt? I don't think this is normal wear and tear. I've had my 32mm since January 2023 (over a year now), and mine still looks pristine. Perhaps it has something to do with mine being Epsom leather, which has an embossed grain on top of the leather (possibly acting as a tougher layer)? I know that Swift leather is more delicate than Epsom, but shouldn't split like yours did. Personally, I would call Hermès or if you have an ongoing relationship with a SA, talk to him/her about this issue and see if they can replace it for you as this is not normal.
