“Lya” LV Vintage Zipper Pull Charm Bangle

This is a Porsha Bella Jewellery first. Yes, I’ve been hit by the latest trend I’m seeing all around Europe! It’s the chunky bangles with one or more charms dangling from them. As soon as I first saw this style, I knew I had to re-create this look in my workshop.

This bangle is solid, heavy sterling silver. It’s definitely not for the dandy jewellery lover. The bangle comes with both charms, which are removable, so you can change the LV charm to match your outfits. These vintage LV zipper pulls make the ideal charms, because they’re double sided and will always be facing the right way, as they swivel and swing from the sterling silver Albert clasps.

You’re probably very familiar with the Louis Vuitton brand for designing and crafting luggage, handbags, satchels, purses and wallets.  The brand was established in 1854 in Paris, but did you know that Louis Vuitton caught the eye of Gabrielle Coco Chanel, who commissioned a bespoke handbag in 1925.  In the 1930’s she allowed the bag to be mass produced, thus beginning Louis Vuitton’s foray into smaller luxury leather goods.  That’s such an interesting tie of these two iconic fashion houses.

Did you also know that the LV empire still works out of the same factory they established themselves in in 1854?  For many years the family home was connected to the fashion house, but now it’s a private museum, with the factory still operational next door.

These charms are so sweet.  They’re zipper pulls from a LV purse, circa 1990.

As with all Porsha Bella Jewellery, these charms have been hand crafted using traditional Goldsmith techniques.  The settings are solid Sterling Silver, as are the swivel clasps.  These charms and bangle have all been crafted in my French workshop, so you really are buying genuine French crafted jewellery.

It’s time to get onboard the “buy less new, buy up cycled” movement.  With the world becoming more conscious of over consumption, my jewellery offers you a guilt free purchase.  You’re buying repurposed zipper pulls from 1990, crafted in recycled Sterling Silver and made by a small, independent business, but you’re not compromising on quality or style.

Your jewellery journey begins with a piece of wearable history…. created by Porsha Bella Jewellery.

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.
