Shorten Louis Vuitton LV Leather Belt - Belt Alteration Singapore | Broadway Leather

Featured in this listing is the ubiquitous Louis Vuitton LV belt that uses three screws on the underside of the buckle to fasten the belt strap onto it. The misperception is to alter the belt from the buckle side. However, the correct way to shorten the belt is to alter from the end of the belt that goes underneath the buckle. This ensures that the side of belt that is on top is untouched and in original condition.

The following are the steps for shortening the belt:

• cut the strap down to desired length on the tail end that slides under the buckle
• stitch up the cut end
• ink the exposed cross section of the cut end and polish. Repeat process
• punch new holes
