The Rise of Gucci Belts As It Accessory Items
Before investing in your next designer belt, it is worth discovering the little history of Gucci belts. They actually never went out of style but have had a lot of momentum ever since fall/ winter 2015 thanks to Gucci’s creative director Alessandro Michele, quickly becoming any it-girl’s dream accessory item.
Although having been featured at almost any runway show ever since the Seventies, it was with former creative director Tom Ford that Gucci belts became ultra-covetable in the fashion industry, urging every fashion lover to buy at least one. It was also with Tom Ford that logo-printed belts got featured at other high-end runway shows, too, as they embraced the Nineties moods just perfectly.
With the logo craze fading down between 2008 and the early ‘00s, however, Gucci belts became less “visible” and logoed, like other Gucci clothing and footwear items. Things, of course, have changed ever since Alessandro Michele got appointed as the label’s creative director, as his maximalist, extravagant and logoed approach to fashion changed the course of the industry forever.
He brought logos back on track in full force, pushing other brands to release equally legendary logoed items as well. With the help of his ad hoc advertisement campaigns, he made us long for branded fashion items even more (we all have a formerly sceptic friend who didn’t appreciate logos but now loves them!).
The key to success of Gucci belts also has a lot to do with the fact that belts make a statement in a “cheaper” way and are thus a more affordable high-end item for many fashion collectors.
So, why not pamper yourself with a new Gucci belt that got inspired by the iconic Seventies or Eighties? Before investing in one, however, here’s what you should know regarding their authenticity.
How to Spot a Fake Gucci Belt and Buy an Authentic One
Designer belts are some of the most counterfeited items in the history of fashion, along with designer bags, sneakers, and probably Supreme T-shirts at the moment. Since they often don’t feature many details, spotting a fake belt can give anyone a hard time.
Ever since their always-rising popularity, fake Gucci belts are often more in demand than other designer belts and are equally hard (if not harder) to spot.
If you can’t physically head to a flagship store to check whether your Gucci belt is fake or not, or you are just about to buy a Gucci belt and just want some extra tips to make sure it is original, here are some important facts to take into account when trying to buy authentic Gucci belts!
• Try to always purchase any Gucci item from a reputable vendor (department stores, vintage shops, and, of course, Gucci shops). If you can, buy directly from Gucci’s online store.
• Be realistic when it comes to the price of the belt. If it’s overly cheap, it’s obviously fake.
• You can always enter the serial number of your Gucci belt on their official website to check its authenticity.
• Before buying any Gucci belt, head to Gucci’s website to examine the model you want to invest in, as their photos give you the ability to zoom in and see every detail of the product.
• The belt’s materials should be of top-notch quality – both the leather and the buckle. If the buckle feels too lightweight and cheap, and if the leather doesn’t have the specific odor, most likely you have got a fake Gucci belt.
Check the Dust Bag
Here’s something you should actually do when obtaining almost any designer accessory item – check the dust bag in your belt’s box. The dust bag should come in a darker color, while the brand name must appear in the center in gold letters. It’s always a drawstring dust bag featuring one string in the top right corner. All Gucci belts come in a dust bag (with no exception), the inside tag of which reads “Gucci Made in Italy.”
Check the Logo On the Gift Bag
Like all of their other products, all Gucci belts come not only with a dust bag, but also in a complementary dark brown gift bag. Each bag must have a double G logo printed all over the bag except for the bottom of the bag’s interior. The gift bag should also feature a dark brown string on top, which is used to keep the belt from slipping out.
Look for Perfection
All Gucci belts feature perfect stitching. Examine your belt and, if you notice any imperfect or even slanted stitch, just come to terms with the reality of having to deal with a fake Gucci belt.
Also, Gucci belts don’t fray, so watch out for fraying as well, and if your belt comes with fraying, it’s definitely a fake one.
Gucci’s Identification Stamp
All authentic Gucci belts come with an identifying Gucci stamp on the inside part of the belt, which, besides the ubiquitous “Made in Italy” statement, includes the brand name, and an identifying number. The serial number of an original Gucci belt often begins with “114” or “223”, but never with “1212”, and is usually 21 digits long.
You should find this stamp either near the belt buckle or in the center, depending on the model you purchase.
Check Those Belt Buckles
This tip is as simple as that: don’t forget that Gucci belt buckles are soldered onto the belt, and there is no button holding the belt buckle in place! On the other hand, fake Gucci belts come with clip-on belt buckles. Depending on the model you choose to buy (examine the characteristics of each belt), your Gucci belt might also have screws on the back of the belt buckle.
Inspect the Monograms
The GG monograms always start with two Gs, not one or half. Needless to say, if it is misspelled, it’s not an authentic Gucci belt!
• If you have purchased a Monogram GG Beige belt, it should feature a beige background, a black leather inside, and a blue GG design. The belt buckle should be devoid of any screws, and for every two GG patterns, there should be a hole for the buckle inside the second G (5 holes in total).
• The Gucci stitched belts should feature the green and red stripes on the background of brown or black leather. As always, the stitching should be perfect, and when you rub your finger over it, no color should come off. The red stripe should be perfectly centered on the belt. The green stripes should be of equal thickness on each side of the red one.
This Gucci belt doesn’t feature the GG monograms, and its inside is either suede or leather. The ‘Interlocking G’ buckle of this belt should also be devoid of any screws and shouldn’t be removable from the belt. A piece of leather should hold the buckle in place and not aluminium.
• Then, although Gucci’s logo craze is surely all over the place, that doesn’t mean it has to be on the inside of the belt, too. Most Gucci belts, such as the Guccissima and the Black Imprime, feature a suede inside.
• The Black Imprime belt features a buckle with a regular G and an upside-down G, the former of which has a matte finish, while the latter has a metallic black finish. The back of the buckle does feature screws this time. The Gucci monogram is printed all over the belt, while the inside section, as stated above, has a suede finish.
• The Guccissima belt features its size in the serial number, and not elsewhere – in other cases you are dealing with a fake one. Like all the other authentic Gucci belts, this one also doesn’t have any button holding the buckle in place. While the inside of the belt is suede, the outside is covered with the monogram print.
