Dehanche Hollyhock Belt

Great Embellishment & Soft Leather

dehanche hollyhock belt

In my recollection, Dehanche burst on to the scene to quench the thirst for great belts and the Hollyhock was the belt I recall seeing first (or maybe just most). The tipping point for me was watching a girl on TikTok run her hands over the hardware and I became obsessed with the sound the rings made. I can’t explain it, it’s so silly.

I bought direct from Dehanche during their end of year sale which featured the Hollyhock in a “wine” colorway that I was hopeful would be a Bordeaux color.

my first mistake since this photo clearly shows it’s more plum colored

I’m a size US2 and purchased a medium in the hopes that I could loop the end around and I enjoy a long belt tail and I love the length it gives me when worn at my natural waist.

Here’s a note from a Substack chat RE sizing for your consideration.

Honestly, Dehanche’s size guide is SUPER useful.

The above photos don’t capture the color well, which is perhaps the same issue the team at Dehanche had, but it’s quite purple. Because the color was final sale I kept it but I don’t wear the belt as much as I might in a different colorway.

the black with gold hardware is $290 and the other colors are $250

My only genuine gripe is that the leather on the belt is quite soft so it has creased at the spot I normally wear it.

And the back of the belt is scratched from the belt pin.

And, again, a note from Substack chats from someone who probably has more belt experience than me.

If you are interested in a statement belt alternative read the Khaite Benny belt review with a round up of statement belts.

And if you just want a classic leather belt here are suggestions swiped straight from Substack chats; the runaway favorite is Anderson’s but I like a good ole Brighton belt that you can find CHEAP on resale sites.

anderson’s skinny ($205) // anderson’s curved buckle ($255) // anderson’s square buckle ($245)// anderson’s circle belt ($230) // la collection ($395) // brighton ($28) // anine bing ($180)
