Once you enter the world of pre-owned treasures, your collection will continuously "evolve"! Starting with pre-owned bags, it often develops into having most of your wardrobe filled with vintage pieces! The Loewe brand is an absolute treasure trove, and their renowned Nappa leather products alone offer an incredible variety of choices! This particular piece is a rare BOX calfskin belt with black and gold accents. The buckle features the iconic LOEWE metal engraving. The black and gold combination is classic, and the design is minimalist! It's effortlessly stylish and versatile. For instance, pairing a simple solid-colored top with jeans and this belt creates a striking focal point.

Their leather products (especially from earlier eras) are exceptionally durable and of superior quality, so there's no need for concern. . . . ⚐⚑˒˒ The belt is in excellent condition, rated as beautiful. This is a rare, minimalist design. I purchased it immediately upon seeing it, without regard for the price! The BOX leather has a wonderful texture, clearly indicating high-quality material. The underside and edges of the leather strap are free from peeling. There are no significant scratches or marks. It shows only a very subtle sense of use, and even upon close inspection, there are no particularly noticeable flaws. It bears the brand's embossed logo. Upon very close examination, the LOEWE engraved area has some faint scratches, but there is absolutely no gold plating loss or oxidation. It remains brilliantly golden! These faint scratches are virtually unnoticeable when worn, as the belt is around your waist (who's going to stare intently at your waist...||). Overall, there are no flaws that affect its use or are immediately apparent. It looks new and beautiful! It's an SA-grade beautiful item and comes with its original box! Compared to bags, pre-owned accessories are generally in better condition and are even harder to find than bags. Almost every piece is a once-in-a-lifetime find, sold without restock. ❍ The photos are of the actual product, personally taken by the owner under lighting. Light conditions can vary, so slight color differences are possible. Due to the unique nature of pre-owned orders, all sales are final, with no returns or exchanges. Please examine the product photos carefully before placing your order. ⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄⋄⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄ | Rating | Rank SA | Size | Size 70 - 2x75cm (approx.) | Color | Black | Material | Genuine Leather | Origin | Spain ⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄⋄⋄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈⋄ The primary reason I love pre-owned bags is that the materials from earlier eras are significantly superior to those in modern new items. In the past, most pre-owned items were handmade ✦, crafted with the warmth of human touch rather than mass machinery. The craftsmanship of artisans was undoubtedly much more refined than that of machines, much like how everyone appreciates products made by skilled craftspeople! However, today, the vast majority of processes are automated by machines with minimal human assembly, losing the meticulous detail of the past. I believe the simplest and most direct way to see this is by comparing the intricate patterns of modern brand "reissues" with the authentic patterns of older vintage pieces. The level of detail in the patterns alone is entirely different. If you love intricate patterns, you should seek out pre-owned items! Truly! In terms of style, older pieces were more ✦ simple, timeless, and enduring. Many new designs today are actually reproductions of older styles. Yet, new items are priced higher than their vintage counterparts. New designs are typically based on older models, with added details or modifications. The final product often ends up being more complex (or peculiar......) than the older versions. I believe as we grow older, we realize that simplicity endures! As we age, our wardrobes tend to return to basic pieces because the more fundamental, the more versatile. The quality of materials in older pieces is superior to newer ones. Anyone knowledgeable about ✦ leather can tell; the materials used in new items are often secondary to those in older pieces. This is mainly because the cost of high-quality raw materials is too high today, and their availability is less than before. Earth's resources are dwindling! Furthermore, brands back then didn't have the ubiquitous presence of numerous stores like they do now... Their clientele typically had a certain income level and specific expectations for the finished product. There wasn't the "fast fashion" culture of today; a bag was expected to be used for many years. The difference between new and old hardware is clearly visible. Many new pieces show oxidation and discoloration after just a year or two of use, but older pieces typically do not. Besides the use of premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship, hardware from earlier eras was often plated with real K gold! It's worth mentioning that Chanel Vintage is expensive for a reason; many of its clasps and chains contain real gold, certified by gold merchants! Therefore, even vintage bags from the 60s and 70s, if well-preserved, can still have gleaming hardware today. As for new items available now, from my understanding of the brands, none of their hardware contains K gold anymore, which is why it oxidizes so easily. Many say that buying vintage bags is a form of alternative investment, as they rarely depreciate and often appreciate in value. This is because well-preserved pre-owned bags are becoming increasingly rare; each one is a disappearing gem. Remember, each of these items is discontinued, and the number existing in the world is finite, meaning they will only become fewer, more expensive, and harder to find. Moreover, brands periodically increase their prices, and each increase drives up the prices in the pre-owned market. If a brand releases a "reissue," the prices of vintage reference pieces or similar styles will skyrocket! Adding to this, in recent years, Japanese and Korean celebrities have favored vintage items. Once a particular style is worn by a celebrity, its price can surge dramatically. This is because, for a period, many people will frantically search for that style or similar alternatives, causing the prices of those few items to multiply... Therefore, vintage is truly a case of "buy early, enjoy longer; buy late, pay more" (this isn't an advertising slogan... it's a truth in the pre-owned world...). This is based on my personal experience; I regret not entering the market earlier for many collections, and now I can't find them, or if I do, the price is astronomical... But the issue is, even knowing the price is astronomical, you're compelled to buy because waiting for the next one will only mean a higher price (unless the condition is poor). I often get asked about bag maintenance (ᐢ.ˬ.ᐢ). I will include a small note with details inside the bag, so don't worry. My personal habit is to take them out for maintenance when I organize my closet during seasonal changes (so each season change is a major undertaking...|||). Actually, pre-owned bags aren't that troublesome. Once you get into the habit of regular maintenance and cherishing your bag, it becomes easy. The materials of pre-owned bags are inherently excellent. As long as they are not used roughly and are stored properly, they can easily last another ten years and be passed down to your daughter! Every pre-owned bag is one that I love and have collected, so I hope you will love it too and be able to preserve it for years to come ☪︎ *.。 ☾︎.*·̩͙ If you are interested in purchasing, please feel free to message me with any questions.
