Description
Model History:
Presented at Louis Vuitton’s Fall-Winter 2019 show, this belt pouch is one of the first collections designed by Virgil Abloh as the house’s men’s wardrobe artistic director. Abloh, known for his ability to blend streetwear and luxury, offers here a utilitarian and conceptual accessory, where the house’s traditional codes – such as Monogram canvas or trunk-inspired ironwork – are reinterpreted in a contemporary, minimalist and functional version. This piece perfectly embodies Louis Vuitton’s shift towards a more urban masculine silhouette, while maintaining impeccable craftsmanship.
Exterior Details:
The clutch’s rigid structure is made entirely of beige-patterned brown Monogram canvas, with edges lightly tinted red. The flap closure is secured by a solid brass gilded clasp, inspired by Louis Vuitton trunk locks, and linked to a small gilded metal chain secured by a side rivet. The integrated belt in natural cowhide features a multi-hole adjustable loop and a gold buckle. Its compact dimensions (approx. 18 x 12 x 4 cm) allow it to be worn close to the body for everyday essentials.
Interior Details:
The interior of the pouch is lined in brown grained leather. It features a rigid main compartment and an interior zipped pocket, ideal for securing small items such as cards, bills or keys. Finishes are clean, with regular stitching and a perfectly clean lining. The interior design remains true to Virgil Abloh’s functional approach, where every detail has a direct utility, without superfluous adornment.
Product Condition:
The pouch is in mint condition, with no signs of use. The Monogram canvas is intact, with no visible scratches or marks. The belt leather shows no darkening, which is rare on light natural leathers. Metal parts are shiny and free of oxidation. The seams are solid, the structure well preserved, and the interior shows no flaws. It comes complete with shoulder strap, original Louis Vuitton dustbag and accessories.
Care instructions:
Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or moisture to preserve the color of the natural leather, which can develop a patina over time. Clean Monogram canvas with a soft, slightly damp, chemical-free cloth. For gilded metal parts, a dry microfiber cloth is all that’s needed to maintain their shine. When not in use, store the pouch in its dustbag to prevent rubbing or deformation.
Why Choose This Product :
This belt pouch embodies Louis Vuitton’s evolution under the influence of Virgil Abloh, blending respect for artisanal heritage with conceptual audacity. It stands out as much for its rarity – as a piece from the designer’s first LV collections – as for its versatility, thanks to its dual wearability (at the waist or across the shoulder). Compact, practical and carefully designed, it’s ideal for fans of contemporary vintage pieces, at the crossroads between luxury accessory and fashion statement. Its near-new condition, with all original components, makes it even more appealing to collectors and enthusiasts of vintage men’s fashion.
