Louis Vuitton Monogram Lv Belt, Size 75

Q: What does Louis Vuitton size 75 mean?
A: Louis Vuitton belt sizing is generally based on the measurement from the buckle pin to the centre hole. A size 75 therefore means approximately 75 cm, or about 29.5 inches, at the centre hole. For the best fit, compare it with a belt you already wear or measure where you plan to fasten it.

Q: Which hole should the belt fit on?
A: Most buyers aim to wear a designer belt around the centre hole so there is room to adjust both tighter and looser. That is usually the most practical fit for day-to-day wear, especially on a pre-owned piece.

Q: What are the materials and key details of this belt?
A: This belt features Monogram canvas, gold-tone hardware and a leather lining. The listed width is 3 cm, which makes it a versatile size for both everyday and dressier styling.

Q: What condition is this belt in?
A: It is listed in Very Good condition. The belt shows wear at the belt holes, darkening on the leather material, stains and discolouration on the lining, and shiny hardware with scratches.

Q: Is wear around the holes normal on a vintage Louis Vuitton belt?
A: Yes. Light stretching and visible use around the fastening holes are among the most common signs of wear on pre-owned designer belts. On this piece, that wear is already reflected in the condition description.

Q: Does this item come with any additional pieces?
A: No additional items are included with this piece. Please refer to the product information for the full included set.

Q: How should I care for a vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram belt?
A: Avoid over-tightening the strap, and keep it away from water, oils, perfume, lotions and harsh cleaners. Clean gently with a soft damp cloth, and store it flat or in a breathable pouch away from heat, humidity and abrasive surfaces.

Q: What does the code CT1146 mean?
A: CT1146 is typically read as a Louis Vuitton production code indicating manufacture in France in the 14th week of 2016. It is useful for reference, but a code alone is not enough to confirm authenticity.

Q: How is a pre-owned Louis Vuitton belt authenticated?
A: Authentication should look at the whole item rather than the code alone, including materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and overall construction. A Retro Tale states that its items are vetted by in-house experts before sale.
