Let me start off by saying I am indeed a heterosexual male but do love Hermes and more specifically the collier de chien belt. Managed to get my hands on one recently which fits but does so snug. As Im sure you all know, the belt has a gold standing fixture which is used to attach it. Now If I am able to have either another gold fixture put in place my problem would be solved. Question is do you all think think this is possible and if so, could Hermes possibly be the ones to do this for me?

anothal, love the belt. (I have one waiting under the Christmas tree...)
I think you should take your belt to a craftsperson at Hermes and ask them what they can do. I know that tina (who writes the bagsnob blog) had her CDC belt shortened by Hermes in New York. They had to remove the hardware to do this, so I would think they had to reattach it somehow. They charge you for this but it's still cheaper than than buying a new belt, which is also not easy to find. An alternative would be to sell yours and buy another one in your preferred size, but I know that's easier said than done.
I had to order mine to get the correct size.

A bit boring but I do love neutrals. Perhaps a more fun color combination in the next belt....

Orange Togo / Dark Brown Swift
Etoupe Togo / Black Swift

I got the dark brown/orange one first and is extremely versatile for work. Although it's soo close to black, black is still black!

Gorgeous colors there!

I went through all the pages and was wondering if anyone have clearer photos of brushed gold H buckle?

Also, I needs opinion on whether gold buckle would pair better with the orange strap or pairing up with a gold one would be nicer? Cos the orange/black straps are almost non-existent in my local H store so i never really get to see how bright is the orange!

Btw, based on your opinions, do you think that the gold-plated (not brushed) buckle looks better or the brushed one? I've only seen the silver one therefore I need help! : (

My local H store is swarmed with so many inquiries daily on the H belts that the newly stocked belts are gone in 2 days time!

Thanks friends! :p

^I prefer brushed over polished in both gold and palladium....but I believe this is a personal choice.... My style is more casual. If you are more polished, you may gravitate to the polished.

The best thing to do is to get on the waitlist for the color combo that you want with your SA - you wouldn't be obligated to buy but at least, you can see it yourself.

The color combo of Gold/Orange seem almost nonexistent. I was looking for this recently - had seen it on the website and didn't move on it. The Orange in Swift seems brighter than my Orange belt which is more muted. When I bought the Orange/Ebene one, I tried it with a brushed gold buckle and it looked really good. I'm just not a gold person so I didn't get the gold buckle.

Orange/Black or Orange/Ebene seem like fairly common colors so it shouldn't take long to get one.

Good luck!

Does anyone know how much the CDC belts go for these days? Not the belt kit with the CDC buckle but the actual belt.

in the U.S., the CDC belt (box leather) cost $1,850 before tax, but this was also more than 6 months ago. not sure if there has been a price increase between then and now, not counting the price increase coming up in a couple of weeks.

O Ok. Thanks. Now the trouble of finding one...

yes, they are hard to come by (especially the smaller sizes) but definitely ask your SA be on the lookout for one. although i'm not even sure how that would go, given all the talk about this lottery system for SAs to sell items!

my SA told me 6 months ago that it takes a long time to get the smaller sizes - 80 and below. size 90 and above are easier to track down at the boutique.

a few months ago, the BH boutique had size 85 in black box with GHW; not sure if they might still have it.
