Q: What does “Double Tour” mean on the Hermès Rivale bracelet? A: Double Tour refers to the slim leather strap wrapping twice around the wrist, finished with the signature Médor pyramid studs and centre ring for a streamlined take on the Collier de Chien aesthetic.
Q: What wrist size does this specific piece fit? A: This bracelet fits a 16 cm wrist or smaller. The strap is approximately 1 cm wide, designed to sit close to the wrist for a neat, stacked look. If you are near the limit, measure your wrist snugly and allow a little room for comfort.
Q: How does the Rivale Double Tour fasten and can it be adjusted? A: It secures with a swivel-style closure over the stud and uses pre-punched holes for minor size adjustment. Fasten it directly on the wrist; do not add extra holes, as this can weaken the leather.
Q: What leather and hardware are typically used on the Rivale? A: The Rivale commonly comes in Hermès calf leathers such as Swift or Epsom with metal hardware that is usually palladium- or gold-plated. This piece is crafted in taupe leather with palladium-plated hardware.
Q: How does the Rivale compare to the Collier de Chien (CDC) bracelet? A: Both share the Médor studs and ring, but the Rivale is slimmer and more understated, while the CDC is wider and more statement-making. The Double Tour Rivale offers a refined, wraparound profile ideal for stacking.
Q: Is it comfortable for everyday wear or stacking with a watch? A: Yes. The slim, double-wrap design sits flat against the wrist and pairs well with a watch or other bracelets. Choose a snug but comfortable fit so it doesn’t spin excessively.
Q: How should I care for the leather and palladium-plated hardware? A: Keep it away from water, humidity, perfumes, lotions and prolonged sunlight. Wipe leather and hardware gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear, and store it in its box or a pouch when not in use. Avoid metal polishes or harsh cleaners on the plated hardware.
Q: Will the hardware scratch or tarnish over time? A: Light hairline marks are normal with wear on plated hardware. Regular gentle buffing with a soft cloth helps maintain shine. If deeper cleaning is ever needed, Hermès boutiques can advise on professional care options.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed in the product information, this bracelet comes with its box. Only items explicitly stated in the product information are included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bracelet? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point authentication by our experts, assessing materials, leather, hardware, stamps and craftsmanship. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to share additional product information on request.
