A refined choice for desk-to-dinner styling, this reversible Hermès Lucky 15 belt switches from classic dark brown to soft light pink. Wear the gold‑tone buckle and padlock charm with suiting for meetings, then flip to pink to cinch a dress or elevate weekend denim.
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: What is the Hermès Lucky 15 belt made of and how wide is it? A: It is a reversible belt crafted in Swift and Epsom calfskin with a metal buckle and padlock charm. The width is 15 mm (about 0.59 inch), making it a slim, elegant profile suitable for dresses, skirts and tailored trousers.
Q: Is this belt reversible and how do I switch colours? A: Yes. The strap is double‑sided in two colours. Simply thread the strap through the buckle as usual, choosing which leather side you want facing out; no special tool is required.
Q: What does size 80 mean and what waist does it fit? A: Hermès belts are sized in centimetres from the buckle to the middle hole. A size 80 is approximately 80 cm (about 31.5 inches) to the middle hole and typically suits waists close to that measurement at the intended wearing point. If you plan to wear it lower on the hips, you may need to size up.
Q: How much adjustability does the Lucky 15 have? A: This model typically features three adjustment holes, offering a modest fit range around the marked size. If you need finer adjustment, a professional leather service can add holes; note that altering a luxury belt may affect future resale value.
Q: Is the buckle removable or compatible with Hermès belt kits? A: The Lucky 15 is sold as a finished belt with its own integrated padlock buckle. It is not part of the interchangeable belt‑kit system found on certain 13, 24 or 32 mm Hermès straps and buckles.
Q: What does the blind stamp Z (2021) signify? A: Hermès uses year letters known as blind stamps. The letter Z corresponds to 2021, indicating the year of production for this piece. In recent years Hermès has used single letters without a surrounding shape for dating.
Q: How should I care for Swift and Epsom calfskin on this belt? A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Keep away from oils, cosmetics, moisture and prolonged sunlight. Store flat or loosely coiled in a breathable pouch to avoid creasing. Epsom’s embossed grain is generally more shape‑holding and scratch‑resistant; Swift is smoother and may show marks more readily, so handle with extra care.
Q: How can I minimise scratches on the gold‑plated hardware? A: Gold‑plated finishes can develop micro‑scratches with normal use. Avoid contact with hard surfaces and jewellery, and store the belt so the buckle doesn’t rub against metals. Wipe with a clean, soft cloth; avoid abrasive polishes or chemicals.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this listing, no additional items are noted. If a box or dust bag is not listed under product information, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this belt? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of leather, stitching, heat stamps, hardware and date stamps. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share further details on request.
