Those with a love for luxury items are very familiar with the Hermès brand. While the Hermès scarf is one of the most popular accessories out there, the Hermès belt for men is also extremely popular. Hermès was founded in Paris in 1837 and quickly gained a reputation for producing quality saddles and harnesses for horses. Expanding their leather-making expertise in the twentieth century, Hermès began making belts, jackets, and bags.
The belts are crafted with a high quality of detail and precision. Made of two pieces of leather, which have been stitched down perfectly by a machine, the Hermès belt is made with three holes spaced evenly on the tapered end, and one hole on the other to affix the buckle. Many of the belts are double-sided, making them reversible. The men’s belts are available in two widths (32mm and 38mm), and the women’s belts are available in three widths (13mm, 24mm, and 32mm).
As with all Hermès products, the belts are considered a great investment. The Hermes belt is a definite statement piece thanks to the big “H” buckle. It is frequently worn as a status symbol due to it being instantly recognizable. WIth prices ranging from $795 into the thousands, the Hermès belt buckles for men cannot be sold separately. The leather belt straps can be purchased separately and combined with the buckle making the belt versatile. The number of combinations that can be made for the belt increases the flexibility of the accessory. Like all of the Hermes products, the belt is produced in France to ensure the high standards of the luxury item are met.
When choosing a belt you choose the color and select a buckle, creating your very own perfect look making it unique to you. Thanks to the durable leather, the belt is long lasting making it a great investment for resale. Hermès products are pricey since most of the products are handmade, with Hermès taking pride in their exclusivity. The process of manufacturing their goods has always been considered an art form. Hermès H buckles come in different sizes, ranging from 13mm to 42mm. To make sure your purchase is authentic make sure your buckle is one of Hermès’ legitimate sizes. Make sure to purchase it on Buyma as their products are guaranteed to be authentic.
