LV Initials 40mm Reversible Belt

Your Louis Vuitton belt will be crafted from either leather or canvas with a fashion jewellery buckle. Avoid wearing the belt too tightly as this can stretch the leather. If your belt is reversible, the buckle is designed to be removed easily so you can wear your belt facing the alternate side. Stretching the leather can make the buckle support looser over time.

Leather belts

Your Louis Vuitton leather belt strap will consist of either natural leather or calfskin & cowhide leather. For all leather straps, cleaning with any solvents or chemicals is not recommended. Home remedies to darken the leather such as mink oil, saddle soap, leather lotions, or substances of any kind should be avoided at all costs. These chemicals can compromise the quality and integrity of the leather as it wears in time. Should this leather encounter water, blot immediately with a lint-free light coloured, absorbent cloth. Elements such as oils, make up, perfumes, creams or sanitisers applied to the leather can compromise its natural beauty and performance capabilities and so should be avoided. For surface stains, we recommend cleaning with a soft, damp cloth with water.

Canvas belts

Your Louis Vuitton canvas belt strap will consist of either monogram & Damier canvas or printed canvas. All canvas straps can easily be cleaned with a damp cloth and slightly soapy water. Home remedies such as mink oil, perfume, leather lotions, cleaners, or chemicals, should not be used on any canvas products. The use of such remedies may cause the canvas wear adversely and prematurely. Contact with highly pigmented materials increases the risk of colour transfer onto the canvas and should be avoided. Light coloured canvas such as Damier Azur is the most susceptible to such wear. To avoid abrasion, limit the contact to hard or rough surfaces (walls, rugs, concrete) and rotate the use of your belt to ensure optimal wear and longevity.

Belt buckles

While resistant, your belt buckle requires special handling and care to ensure optimal performance and appearance. Wearing in very humid, or salty environments (such as a beach, sauna, or pool) is not recommended, as it can cause the brass to tarnish prematurely. To minimise the appearance of surface scratches, limit the exposure to abrasive surfaces. For storage, simply place in the pouch provided at purchase away from dust, moisture, heat, and humidity. Lightly polish with the same pouch for cleaning. Immersing in water or the use of any chemicals may cause irreversible damage.
