"HERMES" 1993 equestrian linked leather belt

Since its founding, Hermès has elevated the practicality and aesthetic sensibility cultivated through harness making into everyday fashion, continuously setting standards of elegance in leather. Here, we introduce a masterpiece where the structure itself functions as decoration.

This piece features a slightly glossy cow Kuschbel with a refined outline drawn by white saddle stitching, leaving a strong impression.

What you will first notice when holding it is the meticulous pattern of uniform, fine embossing, which offers ease of handling similar to current leather products, while the lightness and straightforward coloration unique to Kuschbel remain, making it a vintage piece that does not feel stiff.

The buckle is finished in a prominent gold tone, serving not only as a functional belt but also drawing attention to the waist center. Even when the jacket or coat is open at the front, it helps to neatly shape the overall look.

Furthermore, instead of being made from a single piece of leather, this piece employs a structure where multiple leather parts are connected by large metal rings, creating a three-dimensional feel reminiscent of a horse harness, with a subtle change in expression as it moves, which is very attractive.

The part where the leather loop encases the ring is inspired by equestrian gear, designed to beautifully reinforce areas subjected to stress, embodying the Hermes characteristic of combining aesthetic design with durability.

The authenticity of the era is also clear, as a round W stamp can be seen near the base of the buckle pin, confirming it as a product from 1993 based on the date management format used from 1971 to 1996, making it a reliable choice including its background.

Additionally, since Kuschbel was discontinued around 2000, enjoying the texture from that era that cannot be obtained today adds significant value. Meeting it in a condition where the imprint or foil stamping remains beautifully intact is itself rare.

The wide presence characteristic of the 90s not only evokes nostalgia but also functions as a strength that adds a single point of intent to a simple outfit. Therefore, it is especially recommended for those who want to elevate their style without overdoing it or for those who wish to shift traditional styles toward a mode that transcends gender.

Styling-wise, layering a shirt or turtleneck with a tailored jacket creates a neat and refined look, while pairing with slacks or a midi-length skirt emphasizes vertical lines, naturally highlighting the belt's structural beauty. When going out, draping a long coat casually over the shoulders completes an impression that balances elegance with quiet impact.

Definitely take this opportunity.
