Q: What does Hermès size 75 mean on this belt?
A: Hermès belts are sized in centimetres, and size 75 generally corresponds to the measurement from the buckle end to the hole you would use most. As a guide, it usually suits a waist or high-waist position of around 75 cm, depending on how and where you prefer to wear it. If you already own a belt that fits well, compare that measurement for the best match.

Q: Is this belt reversible?
A: Yes. This is a Hermès H reversible belt, designed to be worn on either side for two different looks. For the exact colour combination and finish of this specific piece, please refer to the product photos and product information on this page.

Q: How do I reverse the belt?
A: Hermès reversible belts are typically changed by detaching the strap from the buckle, flipping the strap, and reattaching it. There is no need to force the buckle. Handle it gently to avoid unnecessary wear to the leather and hardware.

Q: Will the width work with most trouser or dress belt loops?
A: This belt has a slim width of approximately 2 cm, which makes it well suited to narrower belt loops on trousers, skirts, and dresses. If you are planning to wear it with a specific garment, we recommend comparing the 2 cm measurement with your belt loops beforehand.

Q: What is the condition of this specific belt?
A: This piece is rated Very Good Condition. According to the product information, it shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. This is consistent with careful previous wear and typical for a well-kept pre-owned Hermès belt.

Q: What does the Square Q 2013 stamp mean?
A: The product information lists the blind stamp as Square Q 2013, which dates this belt to 2013. On Hermès leather goods, this type of stamp is commonly used as part of the item’s production dating and authenticity checks.

Q: What is included with the belt?
A: Please refer to the product information for the full inclusion details. For this item, a box is included.

Q: How should I care for a vintage Hermès reversible belt?
A: Store it flat or loosely rolled in its box, away from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat. Wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid over-bending the strap in the same place. To help preserve the shape and finish, it is also best to rotate use and fasten it without pulling too tightly.

Q: Is a pre-owned Hermès H belt still a worthwhile everyday piece?
A: Yes. The Hermès H belt is one of the house’s most recognisable accessories and remains popular because it is versatile, easy to style, and designed to offer two looks in one. A slim black reversible version like this works especially well for everyday wear, from denim and tailoring to dresses.
