Paris, late 1980s: the atelier doors open onto Avenue George V as evening falls, gold-lettered signage catching the last light. A slim black leather belt from Givenchy, its surface smooth and unbroken but for a rectangular gold-tone buckle engraved with the house's 4G monogram—weighty in the hand, the metal showing only faint marks from decades of wear. The buckle’s geometry and the sans-serif 'GIVENCHY' gold stamp inside signal the precise era: late 1980s to early 1990s, when accessories bore the signature of Hubert de Givenchy himself. Constructed in France from smooth black leather, the belt is finished with gold-tone hardware and a single gold prong, with no visible serial or size stamp. The surface remains supple with minor creasing, while the hardware shows only light wear at the edges. This is the accessories language of Givenchy’s late-1980s collections—restrained, graphic, and unmistakably Parisian, the 4G insignia anchoring the house’s visual identity during the closing years of its founder’s tenure.
