I've just gotten my first ever Hermes belt-- a vintage black lizard CDC-- and am still trying to figure out how to style it. This thread is helping lots to see how versatile the style is! So far I'm finding I like mine "softened up" a bit with drape or ruffles.
Even though I'm still practicing with this one, I can tell another in regular leather is in my future.
No idea why the photos make it look like there's a diagonal ripple at the front. Trick of the light, I guess.
As a side note, I'd love to hear from any other lizard owners how often you take your pieces in to be infused with moisture (to use Docride's expression for the process).
