"HERMES" 90’s-00’s box calf H buckle loafers

Has scratches and signs of use

Since its founding, HERMÈS has elevated leather into a cultural material and has led everyday gestures into elegance; here, we introduce a timeless design that embodies that ethos at your feet.

The subdued gloss black box calf enhances the beauty of the surface by softly reflecting light, and as you walk, the leather breathes, revealing depth—this is a meticulously crafted piece.

The upper is made of calf leather supported by the DESSUS VEAU label, balancing suppleness and firmness, so the moccasin stitching's three-dimensionality is less likely to flatten, and as you wear it more, the wrinkles on the instep will be engraved as part of your stride.

The lining uses chèvre marked as DOUBLURE CHEVRE, which offers softness and moisture absorption, making it a material choice that supports long wear despite being a leather shoe.

A satin-finished gold-colored H-metal is placed at the front, with a subdued mirror-like texture, subtly maintaining a symbol of luxury while quietly tightening the overall silhouette.

The outsole is leather-soled as indicated by SEMELLE CUIR, and while it bears the high-quality shoemaking background suggested by the MADE IN ITALY mark, it has been reinforced with Vibram half-soles and heel replacements, making it practical and ready to bring archival quality into daily life.

Regarding the era, the presence of French material labels such as DESSUS VEAU and DOUBLURE CHEVRE on the insoles, the H-metal's satin finish with rounded shapes unlike the current sharp mirror finish, and the font balance of the MADE IN ITALY marking on the outsole, which aligns with standards from the 1990s to early 2000s, ensure the credibility of this piece as an item from that period.

The added value of these loafers lies in the fact that the material and tailoring speak before the icon does, and by layering the neatness of box calf with the comfort of chèvre, they embody HERMÈS's characteristic balance of visual tension and comfortable wear.

As a styling, of course, it enhances the overall look when paired with slacks or a neat setup, and even when added to a minimalist outfit with a long coat and simple pants, it guides an impression of poised conduct regardless of gender. When combined with high-quality knits and relaxed bottoms with a drape, it creates a moderate tension that sharpens everyday life.

Definitely take this opportunity.
