Q: What is the Hermès H belt and buckle?
A: The Hermès H belt (often called the Constance belt) pairs a leather strap with the signature H‑shaped metal buckle. Exact details—strap width, leather type/colour, and buckle finish—vary by model and production year. Please review our photos and description for the specific configuration of this piece.

Q: What does size 80 mean and how do I choose the right size?
A: Hermès belt sizes are measured in centimetres from the buckle to the centre hole. Size 80 is approximately 80 cm (about 31.5 inches) to the centre hole and typically suits a wear circumference around 75–85 cm, depending on where you position the belt (waist vs. hips). For best results, measure a belt you already use from the buckle to the hole you fasten, or measure your waist/hip where the belt will sit and compare to 80 cm.

Q: What strap widths are common and will the buckle fit my strap?
A: Hermès H belts most commonly come in 32 mm and 42 mm widths. Buckles are not cross‑compatible: a 32 mm H buckle fits a 32 mm strap; a 42 mm buckle fits a 42 mm strap. As a guide, 32 mm suits many dress trousers and women’s belt loops, while 42 mm is popular with jeans and casual wear. Check the photos/description for the width of this belt and compare to your garment’s loops.

Q: Is the Hermès H belt reversible?
A: Many Hermès straps are reversible (two colours/leathers), but not all. Reversibility and colours depend on the specific strap. Please check our listing details and images to confirm whether this strap is reversible.

Q: How many holes does it have and can I add more?
A: Hermès straps typically have five holes spaced around 2.5 cm apart, though counts and spacing can vary. Additional holes should only be added by a professional leather specialist to avoid damage or misalignment; some Hermès boutiques may offer hole punching at their discretion. Home punching is not recommended and can affect value.

Q: Are Hermès buckles and straps interchangeable?
A: Yes—within the same width. You can mix and match H buckles and straps as long as the width (32 mm or 42 mm) matches exactly. Length (size) affects fit but not buckle attachment. Always confirm compatibility before swapping components.

Q: What materials and finishes are typical, and how should I care for the belt?
A: Straps are commonly crafted in leathers like Epsom, Togo, or Box; buckles often feature palladium or gold‑tone finishes. Keep leather away from water, oils, and prolonged sunlight; wipe with a soft, dry cloth and condition sparingly with a neutral leather product. Clean the buckle gently with a microfibre cloth—avoid abrasives and chemicals. Store flat or hung to prevent creasing, and protect the buckle from contact with hard surfaces.

Q: How is authenticity verified and are there serial numbers?
A: Hermès belts do not use serial numbers like some brands. Straps typically have interior stamps (Hermès, Made in France), size markings, and a blind stamp (a letter with a shape) indicating the year. Placement and format vary by model/year. A Retro Tale authenticates every item through rigorous multi‑point checks across materials, construction, stamps, and hardware; stamps alone are not the sole indicator of authenticity.

Q: What is included (box, dust bag) and where is it made?
A: Inclusions vary for vintage and pre‑owned items—please refer to the Accessories section and our photos for exactly what is included. Hermès belts are typically made in France; the strap’s interior stamp indicates the country of origin for this piece.

Q: Is the H belt unisex and how can I style it?
A: Yes—Hermès H belts are widely worn by all genders. Style a 32 mm for a refined look with tailoring or dresses, and a 42 mm with denim and casual trousers. Wear at the waist over blazers, coats or knitwear, or through standard belt loops for an understated yet iconic accent.
