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 90 belt fit? A: A size 90 belt corresponds to 90 cm measured from the buckle pin to the middle hole. This typically suits waists around 34–36 inches (approximately 86–91 cm), depending on whether you wear it at the waist or hips. If in doubt, measure an existing belt from the buckle pin to the hole you use most and match that to 90 cm.
Q: How are Louis Vuitton belts measured and how many holes do they have? A: Louis Vuitton belt sizes are measured from the buckle pin to the middle (third) hole. Most styles have five adjustment holes spaced evenly, giving room to tighten or loosen as needed.
Q: Can I add extra holes or shorten this patent leather belt? A: Extra holes can be added by a professional cobbler using the correct punch to avoid damaging the patent finish. Shortening is also possible on some belts but should only be done by a specialist, as improper work can affect the structure and resale value. We do not recommend DIY punching on patent leather.
Q: What does the date code CA0091 mean on this item? A: In Louis Vuitton coding from the 1990–2006 period, the letters indicate the country and the numbers indicate month and year. CA denotes manufacture in Spain; 0091 decodes to September 2001. Note that date codes support, but do not by themselves guarantee, authenticity.
Q: Is this belt reversible? A: This model is crafted in black patent leather with gold-tone hardware and is intended to be worn single-sided, not reversible. Please check the images and product information for confirmation of the strap finish.
Q: Will the strap fit standard jeans belt loops? A: Louis Vuitton produces belts in several widths (for example, slim 20 mm up to wider 40 mm styles). As widths vary by model, please refer to the product information and photos for this piece and compare with your belt-loop width to ensure compatibility.
Q: How should I care for patent leather to keep the shine? A: Wipe the strap gently with a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth and mild soap if needed, then dry immediately. Avoid abrasive surfaces and harsh chemicals. Store flat or loosely coiled in a cool, dry place, ideally in the dust bag from the product information, and keep it away from direct sunlight and heat.
Q: Can patent leather get sticky or suffer colour transfer? A: Patent leather can become tacky in heat or high humidity and is prone to colour transfer if stored against dark or dyed materials. Prevent this by storing the belt separately, avoiding contact with dark fabrics, and keeping it in a temperate, low-humidity environment. Address any marks promptly with a gentle clean.
Q: How do I care for the gold-tone hardware on the buckle and charms? A: Hairline scratches are normal with light wear. To maintain shine, wipe hardware with a dry or lightly damp microfibre cloth and mild soap solution if needed, then dry thoroughly. Avoid metal polishes, alcohol-based products, or abrasives that may dull or strip the finish.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a dust bag, as listed in the product information. Everything included is always detailed there; if you have any questions, please contact us.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this belt? A: Every item is carefully inspected by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, and coding consistent with the brand and era. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
