A RARE AND PRICELESS PIECE OF FASHION HISTORY! HARD TO FIND EVEN AMONG COLLECTORS, A COLLECTOR'S DREAM! PLEASE READ THE HISTORY BEHIND THIS RARE BELT...
************
INDEED ONE OF A KIND, RARE VINTAGE EARLY 60's MOD, GLOSSY, LACQUERED LEATHER BELT, AUTHENTIC COUTURE ITEM FROM FRANCE MADE FOR AND BY HERMES FOR THE LAUNCHING OF THE HERMES PERFUME BY THE SAME NAME
*CALECHE*
********************
THE HOUSE OF HERMES LAUNCHED ITS FIRST PERFUME "CALECHE" EXACTLY IN 1961, THE YEAR OF MINIMALISM IN FRENCH FASHION, THE TIME OF THE UNCONVENTIONAL COURREGES, THE LAUNCHING OF CELINE'S FIRST FASHION SCARVES AND OUTERWEAR. HERMES LAUNCHED THE PERFUME AND WITH IT A LIMITED EDITION OF WOMEN'S ACCESSORIES, BEARING THE NAME OF THE NEWLY LAUNCHED PERFUME: *CALECHE*. THE BELTS WERE SIMPLY MARKED...*CALECHE*, POSSIBLY PART OF A LUXURY SET/BOX ACCOMPANYING THE PERFUME. IT HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY AS PERHAPS ONE OF MY MOTHER'S LITTLE PURCHASES. THE BELT IS PART OF AND ASSOCIATED WITH THAT MOMENT IN FASHION HISTORY AND THE HOUSE OF HERMES.
Everything is unusual about this belt, the pale corn yellow color with the 3 accent color inserts speak of the early French MOD style. It closes with a hook that fits right into the holes, adjusting to different waist sizes FROM XS TO MEDIUM.
Measures 32 3/4" by 1.5" wide. Made entirely of fine leather, outer layer is lacquered (patent as we call it now) and impeccable in all ways, inner leather has darkened due to age and has a surface crack, (on the inner lining only!) of this incredibly soft, glove quality lining!Will not affect wearability at all and is inconsequential when it comes to such a RARE item! The item is extremely rare if not unique, what is the likelihood that anyone who bought the Hermes set still has the belt? Close to...none?! It is my utmost pleasure to find and research these rare couture pieces, I should open a museum...but for now, here it is, for your delight:)...mostly.
Would be happy to know this rare item will go to an appreciative lady:), a lover of rare and unusual collector couture accessories...please check my other items for more belts and accessories , some of them worthy of a fashion museum and take this trip with me on memory lane:)
