“Chloe” Vintage Noir LV Zipper Pull Pendant

From Iconic Louis Vuitton to One of a Kind Pendant

This pendant began its journey in the early 1980s as a Louis Vuitton zipper pull.  Once the finishing touch on one of the Maison’s most coveted tote bags. In its original life, it travelled the world in the hands of stylish globetrotters, city sophisticates, and women who understood the subtle power of an LV monogram to elevate even the simplest look. A daily touchpoint of luxury, quietly iconic.

Reimagined with Purpose and Artistry

Decades later, I’ve transformed this rare piece of fashion history into a striking statement pendant. It celebrates its past while embracing a new future through skilled craftsmanship and thoughtful design. The original zipper pull is crafted in high shine black resin, adorned with playful gold toned Louis Vuitton monograms and floral emblems, dancing across its surface. Its bold donut shape, complete with central cut out, offers a sculptural silhouette that’s unmistakably eye catching.

Precious Metals Meet Timeless Design

To elevate and honour this storied detail, I’ve designed a completely bespoke setting. Handcrafted from solid sterling silver and finished in an opulent layer of 24ct yellow gold vermeil, it’s a luxurious nod to the piece’s heritage. A warm 9ct yellow gold bail echoes the original gold tones, while a vintage style swivel Albert clasp in bronze offers effortless versatility.  You can clip it onto chains, bracelets, or even pearls for your own unique styling.

Signature Craftsmanship, Inside and Out

In true Porsha Bella fashion, it’s what you don’t see at first glance that makes this piece so special. The bespoke setting has been thoughtfully engineered to retain the double sided nature of the original zipper pull.  This is a complex feat that requires precision, patience, and respect for the original form. In the industry, it’s known as a “reverse bezel setting.”   The back is as open as possible, allowing both faces of the piece to shine. Subtle. Considered. Full of character.

A Pendant for the Style Confident Collector

This pendant isn’t just jewellery, it’s wearable French fashion history. It’s for those who lead with style, who value craftsmanship, and who appreciate the story behind the sparkle. A truly one of a kind piece, bridging the world of heritage luxury with artisanal design. You won’t find another quite like it.

Caring for Your Gold Vermeil Jewellery

Gold vermeil is a thick layer of 24ct gold over sterling silver.   Luxurious, but delicate. To keep it looking beautiful:

• Avoid water, sweat, perfumes, and lotions.

• Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising.

• Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth,  no harsh cleaners.

• Store pieces separately in a dry, cool place.

Over time, gentle fading is natural. It adds character, but re-plating is always an option if you’d like a refresh.

Now for the legal stuff:-

Important Information

Please note, all buttons used in my creations are antique, vintage, or second hand, and will naturally show signs of their previous lives.  Such as gentle surface marks, tiny dents, enamel wear, or soft tarnishing.
Each button is carefully tested and securely set, but as these treasures can be well over a century old, they remain delicate and should be treated with the same care as any fine antique.

While the jewellery itself is professionally handcrafted from solid precious metals using traditional goldsmith techniques, designed to last a lifetime, the historic buttons, pearls, and crystals within these designs are inherently more fragile. Their age and patina are what make them so special.
To preserve your piece, please avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, perfume, or impact. Treat it gently, and it will bring you many years of beauty and admiration.

As each piece is entirely handmade and one of a kind, I’m unable to offer refunds, exchanges, or replacements for changes of mind, or for age related wear such as button cracking, crystal or pearl loss, or plating lift that may occur over time.

If you ever have concerns about caring for your jewellery, please don’t hesitate to contact me for personalised advice.

Designer buttons have no affiliation with the original fashion houses. I take great care to ensure all branded buttons are genuine and sourced from reputable second hand suppliers & fashion historians.  Porsha Bella designer button jewellery is not sold on behalf of, or in connection with, any brand.
