Description
Model History:
For Dior, the 1980s marked a period of asserting volumes and enhancing the feminine silhouette. Wide, often daring belts became essential accessories in the construction of outfits. This model embodies that spirit: emphasizing the waist to structure a flowing dress or complement a suit. Featured in Dior’s luxury ready-to-wear collections, this belt reflects the trend for powerful accessories designed to last and endure.
Exterior Details:
Gold leather with a slight satin finish has a smooth, supple grain, yet retains a rigid hold ideal for structuring belts. White contrast stitching runs neatly and evenly along the edges. The buckle, sheathed in the same leather, adopts a reinforced oval shape, adding a graphic touch. Three wide loops stabilize the strap when worn, creating a balanced, elegant visual effect.
Interior details:
The interior is lined with undyed light-colored leather, with hot stamping indicating size (65/26), model references (139 – 43) and the words “Made in France”. The velvety feel of this leather lining makes it comfortable to wear and ensures the longevity of the piece. The absence of synthetic lining underscores the choice of noble materials in the Dior tradition of craftsmanship.
Product Condition:
This belt is in very good vintage condition. There are a few creases and light use marks on the outer leather, particularly near the adjustment holes. The buckle is intact, the loops are secure, and the stitching remains solid. The leather retains its shine and suppleness, with a natural patina that enhances its authenticity.
Care instructions:
Use a nourishing milk for smooth leather to preserve suppleness and prevent cracking. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or humidity. Store the belt flat or rolled up in a dry place. Clean with a soft cloth after use to preserve its shine.
