What's played out is posers buying Hermes belts solely so they can rock the H buckle and feel like ballers, especially those who opt to buy one in the signature orange colour just so it will stand out that much more.

if you interact with crowds of mainlanders then you would understand why i said it's played out. they don't buy it for "quality", they buy it because it's expensive. most of them have absolutely no idea why hermes stuff is top notch, only that it's ballin' because a birkin costs 15 grand. the brand's prices have increased dramatically over the last 5 years and a big part of it is because of an influx of newly rich chinese people. it's not so bad over here, but in HK and Beijing the shit is just ridiculous. Stores never have anything in stock, and people pay thousands (CAD) just to get ahead of the line.
