Paris, c. 1989—inside Dior’s atelier, Ferré’s architectural hand is evident even in the details: a slim black leather belt, anchored by a rectangular gold-tone buckle bearing the crisp ‘CD’ monogram, the surface smooth and quietly structured. The gold serif ‘Christian Dior’ stamp glints on the reverse, classic typography of the house’s late Bohan and early Ferré years. No serial or sizing visible. Smooth black leather forms the body, cut to a narrow 2 cm width and finished with subtle edge painting. The gold-tone buckle sits flush against the leather, its minimal lines balanced by the soft gleam of vintage hardware. Designed without a visible keeper, this belt offers a clean, uninterrupted silhouette. Minor rubs to the leather and faint hairline marks on the buckle reflect careful wear. This is Dior in the transitional moment—Ferré newly arrived, lending his Italian sense of proportion to the most French of houses, the ‘CD’ hardware a nod to the monumental signatures just beginning to enter the accessories canon. Condition: Very Good — minor surface wear to leather and light marks on hardware; structure intact.Material: Smooth leather with gold-tone metal buckleColour: Black exterior with gold-tone rectangular buckle; gold ‘Christian Dior’ stamp at reverseDimensions: 70 × 2 cmMade in: France
