Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: Is the Hermès Kelly 18 Belt adjustable? A: Yes. The Kelly 18 is designed to be adjustable, and this example is listed as size 95 (adjustable). It can usually be styled higher on the waist or lower on the hips, depending on your outfit and preferred fit.
Q: What does Kelly 18 mean? A: Kelly 18 refers to the slim width of the belt, approximately 18 mm. It gives the belt a refined, narrow profile that works well with dresses, tailoring and polished everyday looks.
Q: Can this belt be worn through trouser belt loops? A: In many cases, yes. Because it is a slim 18 mm style, it can fit through a number of standard belt loops, but this will vary by garment. It is also especially popular worn over dresses, knitwear, blazers and cardigans.
Q: Is this belt reversible? A: No. This piece is described with yellow textured leather on the outside and a tan leather interior, which suggests a single-colour construction rather than a reversible strap.
Q: What hardware does this belt have? A: This belt features silver-tone hardware and the signature Kelly-inspired turn-lock closure. The hardware is shiny overall with light surface scratches from gentle prior use.
Q: What condition is this item in? A: The belt is in Very Good condition overall. Both the exterior and interior show light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: Does this item come with a box, dust bag or other extras? A: No. According to the product information for this listing, no extras are included.
Q: When was this belt made? A: The serial stamp is marked U, which corresponds to 2022 on this listing.
Q: How should I care for this belt? A: Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid water, oils, perfume and rough surfaces, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth after use. To help preserve the leather, avoid over-bending it and store it flat or loosely rolled when not being worn.
