Virtually anything with the Louis Vuitton logo on it is expensive. Even a simple wallet is several hundred dollars, but it’s well worth the price. Louis Vuitton is one of the most famous designers of all time, and the brand’s most expensive belt is no exception to the rule that these items are made well, and that they are made to last.
The French fashion house was founded in 1854 when Louis Vuitton Malletier decided to create a line of luxury luggage. He was the man credited for making stacking luggage trunks simple, as he is the first designer to introduce a line of luggage that was made with a flat top rather than the commonly made rounded tops that made it difficult to carry and cart luggage around when traveling. What began as a company that designed luxury luggage quickly became so much more. Today, the fashion house makes many items. From luxury luggage to handbags and accessories, belts are also very popular items in the Louis Vuitton line. There are some belt buckles that are worth more than a luxury car on the market, but it’s the whole belt that matters most to buyers.
The Louis Vuitton Initials 40 MM Crocodile Belt
There have been many belts in the world, and there have been many belts in the Louis Vuitton men’s collection. However, there are no other belts like this one in the collection. This belt costs a staggering $3,500, making it the most expensive Louis Vuitton belt in the men’s collection. While this might not sound like the most expensive pricetag around, it’s a big pricetag for a belt, especially when you take into consideration the fact that most of the belts in the Louis Vuitton collection range between $400 and $800. This price for this particular belt, by that nature, is unprecedented.
What is it that makes this belt so much more special than all the others in the Louis Vuitton collection? It’s simple. This particular belt is made of crocodile skin. The crocodile skin strap is 1.6 inches wide and made with invisible seams. What this means for those who wear it is that your belt seams will not be noticed by anyone – ever. The belt is made in classic black, which makes it more appealing than other belts. It’s also lined with calf leather and has a brass ruthenium finished buckle. Additionally, the buckle features the iconic Louis Vuitton LV signature.
This is one high-end belt. Those who purchase this luxe belt will wear it for many years to come. Like all Louis Vuitton products, this belt is made to last a lifetime. Its design is so elegant, timeless and chic that it’s not going to fall out of style. It’s not trendy. It’s timeless. Additionally, it’s made well. Louis Vuitton products are among the finest in the world because the quality of the products used to create these items is so high. For example, the women who carry Louis Vuitton handbags will carry them for decades because of their timeless nature – and they never look old, worn or fall apart.
Louis Vuitton Details
This expensive belt is available for purchase for anyone who is willing to spend the $3,500 to buy it. And of course, there are millions who are happy to pay this kind of price for a belt. It’s a belt that makes a statement – and that statement is upscale luxury and a hint of, “I’m successful, stylish and unstoppable,” and that’s what men want to say with their high-end accessories.
This belt is available online at the Louis Vuitton official website. It’s also available at some of the retailers authorized to sell Louis Vuitton, such as Saks Fifth Avenue. Finally, it is available at the Louis Vuitton boutiques located all over the world. This belt, provided it still has the original tags attached, is available to return for a full refund for 14 days from the date of purchase. It is available in the same condition for a store credit if returned within 30 days of the original purchase. It must be returned with the original receipt.
Faux Louis Vuitton
What most buyers have to watch out for is the “deal” on this expensive, high-end belt. There is no such thing as a deal on this belt. It is one that is for sale for $3,500. If you find one that isn’t for sale for this price, it’s not real. The only exception to this rule is when you find one to purchase from someone that’s selling their belts, and they can provide you with the original receipt for the purchase. However, if you find a Louis Vuitton crocodile belt for less than $3,500 and it’s considered a discount or wholesale belt, it’s 99 percent of the time a fake belt.
Louis Vuitton is one of the most replicated brands in the world. Criminals from around the world work hard to create items that look as much like authentic Louis Vuitton as possible, and they sell their items to those who don’t want to – or can’t – pay full price for their items. This is illegal, and anyone that purchases a fake Louis Vuitton from a website or person that sells them is guilty of committing a crime.
But how are you to know if a bag or belt from Louis Vuitton is fake when you buy it? It’s not that difficult to figure out. The easiest way to tell if a bag or belt from Louis Vuitton is a fake one is via the price. These items are not inexpensive, and if you find a website that’s selling them for next to nothing, they’re not real. Louis Vuitton does not allow just anyone to sell their items. They allow only authorized retailers to sell their items, and they do not allow them to be sold at a discount or price. You will never see a Louis Vuitton bag, belt, wallet or anything else on sale at any retailer.
Another way you can tell that a Louis Vuitton belt is fake is by checking out the buckle. On this particularly expensive Louis Vuitton belt, the buckle is the signature LV. The best way to spot an authentic LV logo on a belt is by checking out where the V stops on the L. For example, the bottom of the V should never touch the L in any way, shape or form. Many counterfeit belts do not take this into consideration, and you will immediately notice that the V touches the L, and it’s a simple way to tell a fake belt form a real one.
Stitching is another simple way you can detect a fake Louis Vuitton. There is never an item for sale in the Louis Vuitton collection with stitching that is anything less than perfect. The stitching that is on the Louis Vuitton belts is even all the way around, it’s not sloppy and it’s always regular. All stitches are exactly the same size, which is another indicator of a fake belt if you see stitches that are not the same size across the belt. Furthermore, be sure to check the stitches on the interior side of your belt. Many people that make counterfeit belts do not bother with these small details, and their items are not made correctly. The stitching on in back side should be just as even and just as perfect as the stitching on the exterior of the belt.
Check the screws on the inside of your belt. The best way to see if your belt is real or fake is to check out the screw used on the inside. Most counterfeiters don’t bother with this because they don’t think anyone will check. However, Louis Vuitton belts always feature a flat head screw (-) and fakes usually feature a Philips head (+). Another way you can tell if a Louis Vuitton belt is fake is to check for the size conversion on the back. You will see the six of the belt in inches and centimeters listed on the back. If you see only one number, the belt is a fake. Louis Vuitton items always feature both sizes in both forms.
Yet another way you can tell if a Louis Vuitton belt is fake is by checking out the stamp on the back of the belt. When you run your finger over this stamp, it should have a texture. It should not be a stamp that looks like it’s been tossed on with a handstamp, as many fakes do. It should e perfectly centered and it should be spaced correctly. Louis Vuitton always spaces their words precisely, which means that they do not have any variation differences between letters and rows.
The most expensive Louis Vuitton belt in the world is made with superior quality. It is the nicest belt in the collection, and it is perfect. If you come across a Louis Vuitton crocodile belt that is anything less than perfect in any way, it’s not an authentic belt. The same concept applies to each of the handbags and additional accessories that are available in the Louis Vuitton line. That’s not to say you can’t find one that’s not full price because it’s used – but you should never purchase a Louis Vuitton item without the original receipt of purchase from an authorized Louis Vuitton retailer.
