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 makes the Hermès Medor belt distinctive? A: The Medor design is known for its signature pyramid studs and jewellery-inspired hardware. Compared with a classic Hermès H belt, it has a more sculptural, statement look while still being easy to style.
Q: Can this style be worn at the waist or on the hips? A: Medor belts are commonly worn either at the waist or lower on the hips, depending on the size and the outfit. For this vintage piece, the right position will depend on your own measurements and how you like to style belts.
Q: How should I judge the fit on a size M belt? A: Hermès belt sizing is usually based on centimetres, measured from the buckle to the hole used most often. Because this listing is shown as size M, the safest approach is to compare it with a belt you already own and use the listing details to judge the fit.
Q: What does the Square I stamp mean? A: The blind stamp Square I is commonly dated to 2005, which matches the serial information listed for this item. On vintage Hermès pieces, this stamp is one of the key details collectors use to place the production year.
Q: What condition is this belt in? A: The product information describes the exterior and interior as Very Good with light traces of use. The gold-tone hardware is noted as shiny with light scratches, which is typical, gentle wear for a vintage piece.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information lists a box as included. If something is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be part of the set.
Q: How should I care for vintage Hermès leather? A: Keep the belt away from prolonged sunlight, heat, water, oils, perfume and alcohol-based products. If it gets damp, wipe it promptly with a soft, lint-free cloth and store it in a dry, temperate place when not in use.
Q: Will the hardware show wear over time? A: Yes, light surface scratches and soft wear marks are normal on vintage hardware, especially on a studded style like the Medor. This piece is described as shiny with light scratches rather than heavy rubbing or tarnish.
Q: How can I feel more confident about authenticity when buying a pre-owned Hermès belt? A: Hermès only guarantees authenticity for items purchased through its own boutiques, website or authorised distributors. When buying pre-owned, it is best to rely on a trusted specialist seller and review details such as the blind stamp, leather quality, hardware and overall construction.
