The story behind
The very first interchangeable buckle was designed by the stylist Catherine de Karolyi in 1967. It was so successful that people lined up outside the Faubourg store. As a result of its popularity and for practical reasons, salesmen ended up naming it after the drawer in which it was stored: the famous No. 5382 drawer. Since then, there have been countless reinterpretations of the famous H buckle.
