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 measures belts from the buckle to the middle hole. A size 80 equals roughly 80 cm (about 32 inches). For best results, measure where you plan to wear the belt and match that to 80 cm; many LV belts allow a few centimetres of adjustment via the pre-punched holes.
Q: Is this Murakami Multicolore belt reversible? A: No. This piece has Monogram Multicolore canvas with a natural leather lining and a square plate buckle; it is designed to be worn canvas-side out only.
Q: What is the strap width and buckle style? A: The strap is approximately 3 cm wide with a gold‑tone square plate buckle. Please see the Measurements on this page for exact figures.
Q: How much adjustability does a size 80 typically offer? A: As a guide, similar 3 cm LV belts in size 80 usually have a wearable length close to 75–85 cm across the hole set. If you are between sizes or plan to wear at the hips or over layers, consider how that changes your measurement.
Q: Can I add extra holes or shorten the belt? A: Louis Vuitton boutiques generally do not add holes or resize belts. A skilled cobbler can add holes neatly, but any modification may affect resale value. If adding a hole, match the existing spacing and keep a safe distance from the tip and edges.
Q: What does the date code LB 0034 mean on this belt? A: Pre‑2007 LV codes use the first and third digits for the month and the second and fourth for the year. “0034” indicates March 2004, which aligns with the Murakami Multicolore era. The letters identify the factory code; date codes support dating but do not alone guarantee authenticity.
Q: How should I care for the Multicolore canvas, leather lining and buckle? A: Wipe coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp light‑coloured cloth; wipe leather with a dry soft cloth. Avoid alcohols, oils, creams and harsh cleaners. Store in a cool, ventilated place, lightly filled to keep shape. Gold‑tone hardware can develop fine scratches with normal use; buff gently with a soft cloth only.
Q: Are the interior initials visible when worn? A: This piece has initials on the inside. They are on the lining and are typically not visible when the belt is fastened. Hot‑stamped initials are generally permanent; third‑party removal attempts may leave an impression or damage the leather and are not recommended.
Q: What is included with this item? A: The product information for this piece lists a box. Any other inclusions would be listed there; if an item is not shown, it is not included.
Q: Is the Murakami Multicolore belt unisex? A: Yes. Styling is personal; if the width suits your belt loops and the size fits your measurement, it can be worn by any gender. The vivid Multicolore pattern is a hallmark of the Takashi Murakami collaboration and remains highly collectible.
