Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What waist size does a Louis Vuitton size 80 belt fit?
A: Louis Vuitton belts are measured from the buckle pin to the middle hole. A size 80 corresponds to 80 cm to the centre hole (about 31.5 in) and typically suits waists around 75–85 cm, depending on whether you wear it at the waist or on the hips. For the most accurate result, measure a belt you already use from the buckle pin to the hole you use most and match that number to the nearest LV size.
Q: Is this belt reversible?
A: No. This piece is crafted in Monogram canvas with a natural leather lining and a logo‑engraved gold‑tone buckle. It is a single‑sided design and not reversible.
Q: What is the belt’s width and how does that look when worn?
A: The strap is approximately 2.5 cm (25 mm) wide. This slim profile works well through most dress and jeans belt loops and gives a refined, vintage look.
Q: How should a Louis Vuitton belt fit and how do I choose my size?
A: The ideal fit fastens at the middle hole, leaving a neat tail to tuck into the loop. Measure around the spot you’ll wear the belt (waist or hips) or measure an existing belt from the buckle pin to your used hole; select the LV size closest to that measurement in centimetres. If you’re between sizes, choose the larger for flexibility.
Q: Can I add extra holes or shorten the belt?
A: A skilled cobbler can add an extra hole neatly, but DIY methods risk damaging the coated canvas or leather. Shortening is generally not recommended on this fixed‑buckle style and any modification may affect resale value—please consider sizing carefully instead.
Q: How do I care for the Monogram canvas and leather lining?
A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a touch of mild soap if needed, then dry with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol‑based cleaners, and excessive water on the leather lining. Store flat or loosely rolled in its dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the gold‑tone hardware dry and wipe it occasionally with a soft cloth to minimise micro‑scratches.
Q: What does the date code CA1183 mean on this belt?
A: CA indicates manufacture in Spain. For this format, the first and third digits show the week and the second and fourth show the year, so 1183 decodes to the 18th week of 2013. Note that date codes help indicate production details but are not proof of authenticity by themselves.
Q: Is this belt unisex?
A: Yes. Louis Vuitton Monogram belts are widely worn by all genders. Focus on your measurements and preferred width; this 25 mm strap suits both waist‑cinching and through‑the‑loops styling.
Q: What accessories are included with this item?
A: This belt comes with its box and dust bag, as listed in the Accessories section.
Q: Will the canvas crack or the hardware lose colour with wear?
A: Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas is durable, but avoid sharp bending and prolonged friction to prevent creasing. Gold‑tone hardware is plated and can show fine surface scratches over time; storing and handling with care will help maintain its appearance.
