Q: What is Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis leather?
A: Monogram Vernis is Louis Vuitton’s glossy embossed leather finish, known for its shine and raised Monogram pattern. This belt is crafted in Amarante Vernis leather, a rich burgundy shade, and finished with gold-tone hardware.

Q: What does size 90 mean on this belt?
A: This belt is marked size 90. On Louis Vuitton belts, the size refers to the fit point rather than the very end of the strap, so the best way to check fit is to compare it with a belt you already wear by measuring from the buckle pin to your most-used hole. As a general guide, size 90 is often associated with around a 36-inch reference fit, but styling at the waist or hips can affect how it wears.

Q: How wide is the belt?
A: The strap is approximately 3 cm wide, giving it a versatile medium-width look that works well with both trousers and dresses.

Q: Is the buckle adjustable?
A: Yes. This belt features an adjustable pin-buckle closure, so the fit can be altered across the existing holes.

Q: How should Vernis leather be cared for?
A: Wipe it gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth only. Avoid solvents, leather creams, perfumes, sanitisers and other chemicals, and store it in its dust bag away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity.

Q: Is Vernis prone to colour transfer or fading?
A: Yes. Vernis leather can pick up colour from denim, magazines and other leathers, and prolonged sunlight can cause fading. Darker shades such as Amarante usually disguise transfer better than very light Vernis colours, but careful handling is still important.

Q: What condition is this belt in?
A: It is listed in very good condition, with small marks, light traces of use to the lining, and shiny hardware with light scratches.

Q: What does the code CA1171 tell me?
A: Louis Vuitton used date codes on pieces from this era rather than unique serial numbers. The code format is consistent with a 2011 production date, and the country label on this belt states Spain. As with all Louis Vuitton items, a date code should be considered alongside materials, stamping and overall craftsmanship.

Q: What is included with the belt?
A: A dust bag is included. Everything that comes with the item is listed in the product information, so if something such as a box or authenticity card is not listed there, it is not included.
