"HERMÈS" 80's Gold tone stirrup buckle leather belt

Since its founding in 1837, HERMÈS has created countless iconic pieces, drawing on exceptional craftsmanship honed in its harness workshop and a refined sense of beauty beloved across generations. We are pleased to introduce an exquisite item whose elegant design embodies the Maison’s history.

Crafted in deep black smooth leather, this piece pairs a gold-colored buckle with a curvaceous form reminiscent of a riding stirrup. It beautifully fuses classic motifs derived from traditional equestrian culture with a sophisticated design that naturally complements a modern wardrobe.

The surface features black leather with a smooth, supple texture, and the natural sheen that emerges as it catches the light lends an elegant presence even within its restrained color palette.
In addition, the stitched detailing at both ends of the leather beautifully enhances the clean silhouette of the belt while showcasing the gold-colored buckle for a refined finish.

The reverse side is crafted with bright camel brown leather. Thanks to the contrast with black, it reveals a softer expression that differs from what you see from the front—adding to the appeal.
And what truly draws the eye on this piece is the gold-colored buckle with a curvaceous shape reminiscent of the stirrup from the harnesses that symbolize HERMÈS’s history.
A stirrup is the harness component that allows a rider to place their foot while riding. For HERMÈS—founded as a harness workshop—it is one of the important motifs that tells the story of the Maison’s roots.

The pairing of black leather with gold-colored hardware is a timeless color combination long embraced in luxury fashion. By creating a beautiful contrast between the understated leather texture and the brilliance of the gold fittings, it helps tighten and refine the overall look.

This item dates to the early 1980s. On the underside of the belt, there is a K stamp in a circle indicating the manufacturing year—making it clear that it corresponds to 1981—so you can also appreciate the historical context as a HERMÈS vintage piece.

The added value unique to this piece lies in the way it expresses the harness motif that symbolizes the HERMÈS brand as a practical belt buckle. It is not merely decorative; you can also feel the connection to the equestrian culture that the Maison has cherished since its founding.

Moreover, while it reflects the early 1980s era, the combination of black leather and gold-colored hardware—along with the beauty of the curvaceous buckle—gives it a timeless quality that can be naturally incorporated into contemporary luxury fashion, which is another key attraction.

For styling, you can pair it with slacks for a shirt or tailored jacket, incorporating this belt at the waist to achieve a classic and refined look that is unmistakably HERMÈS. Alternatively, wearing it with a dress or long skirt lets you enjoy an elegant style that beautifully highlights the gold-colored buckle.

We invite you to take this opportunity.
