Q: What does Bottega Veneta size 80 mean on a belt? A: Size 80 indicates the length from the buckle’s prong to the middle hole is approximately 80 cm. Most belts are designed to fasten most neatly on that middle hole, giving adjustment either way. 80 cm is roughly 31.5 inches.
Q: What waist or hip size does a size 80 usually fit? A: Because the middle hole is at 80 cm, a typical five‑hole belt gives about ±5 cm of adjustment. That means it generally fits around 75–85 cm at the point you wear it. Measure your waist or hips where you’ll wear the belt (over clothing) for best accuracy.
Q: The width is about 6 cm — will it fit through standard trouser loops? A: Most jeans and trouser loops accommodate belts around 3.5–4.0 cm wide. At approximately 6 cm, this is a statement waist belt intended to be worn over dresses, blazers or coats rather than through standard loops.
Q: How do I look after the gold‑tone buckle and hardware? A: Wipe with a dry microfibre cloth after wear. If deeper cleaning is needed, use a little lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap on a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly. Avoid chemical polishes and abrasives, and keep perfumes and hairspray away from the hardware to preserve the finish.
Q: How many holes does the belt have and what’s the adjustment range? A: Most classic belts have five holes spaced roughly 2.5 cm (1 inch) apart, giving about 10 cm of total adjustment centred on the middle hole. Please refer to the photos for the exact hole count on this specific belt.
Q: How can I style a 6 cm waist belt? A: Use it to cinch the waist of a knit dress, blazer, trench or oversized shirt to create structure. The black and gold‑tone combination pairs well with monochrome looks, neutrals and jewel tones.

Q: What is the material and finish of this belt? A: It is a black snakeskin‑embossed fabric belt with an ornate gold‑tone buckle. It is a vintage, Made in Italy piece in very good pre‑loved condition with light signs of use, as noted on this page.
Q: How should I care for a snakeskin‑embossed fabric belt? A: Spot clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and a mild soap solution if needed, then blot dry. Avoid soaking, harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbing, which can flatten or damage the embossed texture. Store flat or loosely rolled, away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: How do I look after the gold‑tone buckle and hardware? A: Wipe with a dry microfibre cloth after wear. If deeper cleaning is needed, use a little lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap on a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly. Avoid chemical polishes and abrasives, and keep perfumes and hairspray away from the hardware to preserve the finish.

Q: Can a cobbler add extra holes or shorten the belt? A: A professional cobbler can usually add holes and, depending on the construction, shorten a belt from the buckle end. We recommend a specialist for any alterations, as modifications are permanent and should be assessed on a case‑by‑case basis.
Q: How can I style a 6 cm waist belt? A: Use it to cinch the waist of a knit dress, blazer, trench or oversized shirt to create structure. The black and gold‑tone combination pairs well with monochrome looks, neutrals and jewel tones.
