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 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.
