I started off my H journey with this 32mm belt as my first item. I really thought the buckle was different and I liked it for that reason. Till this day I have not seen this buckle at my H boutique or when I travel and see other H boutiques around the world. Does anyone know if this buckle is limited edition or something?

Is that enamel (etoupe with shade of black)? Very different.... love it!

I'm considering the 32mm H belt as my first Hermes purchase, but am interested in a reversible color combination that seems like it might not be available in stores. Does purchasing in a boutique vs. online matter greatly towards building a purchase history for Hermes? I hear a lot about the exclusivity game Hermes plays, so I'm wondering if the purchase channel matters. If it's better to purchase directly from a boutique, can the SAs help you with a custom order, or you're limited to only what's available in the stores?

do you want an Hermes belt
or do you want to build a purchase history

there is such a disparity between what is offered online in different parts of the world and what might be available in store the best most important thing to learn is when you see what you want, buy it regardless of other considerations

It is better to purchase in store. Often the SA can help you purchase from the website or can order the belt you want and let you know when it comes into the store.

My priority is color combination/specs, but ideally both.

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.

I'm also curious, how do custom orders work? Is there a way to customize the color combinations even if they're not offered? Or this is only possible for bags?

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.

Do keep in mind, though...even if they have the leather combination you want, they may not have the buckle you want or the size/length you need.

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.

Do you still love and wear yours?

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. :blush:

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.

Hi everyone,
I ordered a Kelly belt online and went to pick it up at my local boutique. At home I realised that the buckle does not click like my other one. I went back and they sent it to repair - now I got an email informing me that this item cannot be repaired. What do I do?
