Louis Vuitton Monogram Santur Pochette Belt, size 90

Q: What waist size does size 90 usually fit?
A: Louis Vuitton belt sizes are generally measured to the centre hole rather than the very end of the strap. As a guide, size 90 often suits around a 90 cm or roughly 36-inch waist, but the best fit depends on whether you plan to wear it at the natural waist, on the hips, or over clothing. We recommend comparing it with a belt you already wear comfortably and checking the Measurements on this page.

Q: What typically fits inside the pochette?
A: This is a compact pouch designed for very small essentials such as cards, folded notes, keys, or lipstick. It is not intended for bulky items, and most modern larger phones are unlikely to fit comfortably.

Q: Is the pouch removable?
A: Yes. This design features a removable flap pouch with snap closure, so the belt can be worn with or without the pochette. Please note that no extra strap or additional pieces are included with this item.

Q: How can this piece be worn?
A: It is designed to be worn as a belt with pouch detail, typically at the waist or low on the hips. It also works beautifully over a blazer, dress, or coat if you want a more defined vintage silhouette.

Q: What does the date code CT0096 mean?
A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this era use letters for the production location and numbers for the production date. CT0096 is generally read as a France-made piece from September 2006.

Q: Is this a vintage item?
A: Yes. With a 2006 date code and pre-owned character, this is considered a vintage Louis Vuitton piece with the charm and patina that often come with age and wear.

Q: What condition is it in?
A: This item is listed in very good vintage condition. The product information notes light traces of use to the exterior and interior, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: According to the product information, this piece comes with no additional items. If something is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.

Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and leather details?
A: Gently wipe the coated canvas with a soft damp cloth and, if needed, a little mild soapy water. Avoid perfume, leather lotions, harsh cleaners, and home remedies. Store it in a cool, ventilated place and avoid overfilling the pouch to help preserve its shape.

Q: Can vintage Louis Vuitton belts or pouches be repaired?
A: Louis Vuitton offers repair services for many pieces, with each item assessed individually. Availability, cost, and lead time depend on the exact repair needed and the current condition of the item.

Q: How do you authenticate this item?
A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by in-house experts using assessments of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date-code details. We stand behind the authenticity of the items we sell.
