{"product_id":"2009-louis-vuitton-runway-leopard-print-leather-obi-waist-belt","title":"2009 Louis Vuitton Runway Leopard Print Leather Obi Waist Belt","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis extraordinary belt walked the runway as Look 2 of 53 in Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2009 ready-to-wear collection, designed by Marc Jacobs. Variations of these wide, elaborately worked belts appeared throughout the show in different colours and finishes, forming an important part of the collection’s rich, Japanese-influenced styling. Inspired by the broad proportions and wrapping construction of a traditional obi, the belt is designed to sit high on the waist and dramatically cinch the silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe belt is beautifully constructed from a patchwork of leathers including soft nubuck and lambskin in contrasting colours and textures. One section is worked in metallics, another in lustrous purple leather, while a further panel is painted with Louis Vuitton’s distinctive leopard print. Long leather ties in tangerine orange, lipstick red and chocolate brown wrap around the waist, adding another layer of colour and allowing the belt to be adjusted to the wearer. These are finished with two substantial sculptural charms combining wood and gold-tone metal with red and green detailing. The red charm terminates in a chunky gold-tone cube engraved with the “LV” initials, while the green charm is signed “Louis Vuitton” at its base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn excellent vintage archival condition and has been beautifully preserved. It retains its original large Louis Vuitton dustbag, individual protective dustbags for the charms and its accompanying booklet. Please refer to the measurements below for fit. Spring 2009 is a particular Circa favourite from Marc Jacobs’ tenure at Louis Vuitton, not least for the memorable campaign with Madonna. We also hold other pieces from the collection; so do enquire about these if of interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEASUREMENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLENGTH: 36 in.
