Product Description
This Louis Vuitton Phoenix Belt in ecru perforated Monogram leather offers a refined way to define dresses, tailoring or denim. Finished with gold-tone hardware and presented in very good condition, it is an elegant choice for daytime city wear, weekend lunches or adding a polished accent to a smart evening look.
Q: What does Louis Vuitton size 95 mean on this belt? A: Size 95 generally refers to the distance in centimetres from the buckle to the centre hole. As a guide, it usually suits around a 95 cm waist and is often compared to roughly a 38 inch fit, but the best fit can vary depending on whether you wear the belt on the waist, hips, or over heavier layers.
Q: What width is this belt? A: This belt is approximately 4 cm wide. That gives it a more substantial look than a slim dress belt, making it easy to wear with jeans, trousers, and many dresses or coats.
Q: Is the homemade extra hole a problem? A: It does not necessarily affect wearability, and it may even help if you need a slightly different fit. However, it is considered a condition note and may matter to collectors who prefer original, unaltered pieces.
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 width is this belt? A: This belt is approximately 4 cm wide. That gives it a more substantial look than a slim dress belt, making it easy to wear with jeans, trousers, and many dresses or coats.
Q: What condition should I expect from this piece? A: This belt is listed in Very Good Condition. Please note there is cracking at one belt hole, one homemade belt hole, light discolouration to the interior, and shiny hardware with surface scratches. We recommend reviewing the product information and photos carefully for the best impression of wear.
Q: Does this belt come with any extras? A: No. According to the product information, this item comes with no accessories.
Q: What does the date code CA4181 mean? A: Louis Vuitton uses date codes rather than unique serial numbers on many older items. The code CA4181 indicates production in Spain, and this format is commonly read as week 48 of 2011. Please note that a date code helps identify production details, but it is not, by itself, proof of authenticity.
Q: Is the homemade extra hole a problem? A: It does not necessarily affect wearability, and it may even help if you need a slightly different fit. However, it is considered a condition note and may matter to collectors who prefer original, unaltered pieces.
Q: How should I care for a Louis Vuitton belt like this? A: To help preserve it, avoid wearing it too tightly, keep it away from water, oils, perfume, hand sanitiser, and other alcohol-based products, and wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Store it in a cool, dry place and avoid pressure on the buckle or strap when not in use.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton repair belts? A: Louis Vuitton does offer care and repair services for many accessories, although availability depends on the item and the work required. For a pre-owned piece with visible wear, it is best to check directly with Louis Vuitton if you are considering a repair or assessment.
Q: How do you authenticate this belt? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by in-house experts using multiple authenticity checkpoints, including materials, construction details, hardware, stamps, and date-code consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of the items we sell.
