“Leanna” Gold Vintage LV Button Earrings

These earrings began life as buttons on a black velvet men’s jacket, designed by Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton’s first menswear collection in 1999. That Paris runway show marked a pivotal moment, when Marc Jacobs, brought on in 1997, infused the historic house with a bold new energy. His take on menswear was luxurious, daring, and steeped in detail, setting a new tone for Vuitton’s identity.

These particular buttons, soft gold in tone and stamped with the iconic “LOUIS VUITTON PARIS” imprint, are a quiet nod to that transformative era. Their minimal design is what makes them so timeless. I’ve set them simply, in a clean sterling silver rub over style that lets their story speak for itself.  Because they’re a shiny gold button, it’s proven quite hard to photograph these without them looking damaged, but rest assured, any weird looking marks on the button are just reflections.

Elegant yet understated, these earrings are a perfect example of how less can truly be more. They’re effortless to wear and pair beautifully with everything from your most casual jeans to a sharply tailored jacket. A little piece of fashion history, revived and ready for a new chapter & perfect if you love that mixed metal look.  Wear them with your yellow gold pieces or mix it up with all your white metals, for that stand out gold touch.

Your jewellery journey begins with a piece of hand crafted wearable history, by Porsha Bella Jewellery.

*Please note, the buttons used in all of my creations are second hand, antique or vintage, therefore they will show signs of their previous lives.  Some scratches, tiny dents, some enamel wear and even tarnishing.  I cannot guarantee the quality or longevity of these buttons.  In some cases there can be colour variations, and plating lift during the polishing process, this is unavoidable.  I’m unable to refund or replace buttons that break or crack.  Although I do put every button through rigorous testing to do my best to ensure their longevity.  *Disclaimer… I’m not able to guarantee the longevity of any buttons that have crystals or pearls used.

Unlike costume jewellery, my jewellery is professionally hand crafted using traditional Goldsmith techniques and genuine, solid precious metals, so therefore you can wear *some of your Porsha Bella pieces whilst swimming, showering and washing.  These activities shouldn’t damage or discolour the precious metals.  I never take my jewellery off.  However, you may need to polish your jewellery a little more frequently if you want that shiny, brand new look.  If you treat your Porsha Bella creation, like the treasure of history it is, you should have an heirloom piece that will stand the test of time.  If you have any concerns about how to care for this piece, then please reach out to me and I can help you with tips on getting a long and happy wear life out of it.

*Designer buttons have no affiliation with the brand or fashion house of their origin.  I do my best to ensure all designer buttons are genuine and from a reputable source.  Porsha Bella designer button creations are not sold on behalf of or in conjunction with the brand.  The designer buttons are second hand, vintage or antique, with all rights removed and protected by the second hand market.
