Ideal for smart-casual days, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram belt sharpens office tailoring and pairs effortlessly with weekend denim. Wear it to define the waist over a blazer or add a polished finish to trousers for dinners, meetings and city breaks alike.
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 does Louis Vuitton size 90 mean and what waist will it fit? A: Louis Vuitton measures belts from the buckle pin to the centre hole. A size 90 is approximately 90 cm to the centre hole and typically suits around a 34–36 inch waist, depending on where you wear the belt and layering. For best results, measure a belt you already use from the pin to your preferred hole and match that in centimetres.
Q: What is the width of this belt and will it fit my belt loops? A: This belt is approximately 4 cm (40 mm) wide. A 40 mm strap is a statement width that works best with denim and casual trousers; it may be too wide for some tailored trouser loops.
Q: Is this belt reversible? A: This specific piece is single‑sided Monogram coated canvas with a natural leather lining and a gold‑tone LV Initial buckle, so it is not reversible.
Q: How should I choose my LV belt size at home? A: Use a soft tape measure around the place you plan to wear the belt (waist or hips) and select the nearest LV size in centimetres to that measurement. Alternatively, measure a favourite belt from the buckle pin to the hole you use most; choose the LV size closest to that length. If between sizes or if you plan to wear the belt low on the hips or over layers, consider sizing up.
Q: How should I care for Monogram coated canvas and the leather lining? A: Wipe coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid chemicals, alcohol‑based products and leather creams on the canvas. Keep natural leather away from water and prolonged sunlight, and expect it to develop a warm patina over time. Store the belt flat or loosely rolled in a cool, dry place.
Q: Can I add an extra hole or shorten the belt? A: Louis Vuitton offers repair and care services that can assess your item; policies on adding holes or alterations may vary by location. If you need an extra hole, many clients use a trusted professional cobbler to punch one neatly. Any alteration is permanent and may affect future aftercare options, so decide carefully.
Q: Where was this belt made, and is Spain authentic for Louis Vuitton? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton manufactures leather goods in several countries, including France, Italy, Spain and the United States. A “Made in Spain” stamp is normal for authentic LV belts.
Q: Will the gold‑tone buckle scratch easily and how do I look after it? A: Hairline marks can appear with normal wear. To minimise them, handle the buckle away from hard surfaces and wipe it with a clean, dry microfiber cloth after use. Avoid abrasive polishes.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. This listing indicates no additional items are included.
