Vintage Givenchy 4G Logo Leather Belt c. Late 1970s Black Gold

A geometric gold-tone ‘4G’ buckle punctuates the centre of this black leather belt, its sculptural lines interlocked with a contrasting silver-tone frame. The buckle’s face bears the engraved Givenchy logo in finely rendered small capitals, while light surface scratches add to its lived-in patina.

Crafted in black leather, the belt is cut with a classic width and features mixed metal hardware that nods to the era’s appetite for bold, architectural detailing. The gold-tone 4G motif sits in relief above the silver-tone setting, a combination characteristic of Givenchy’s late-1970s accessory collections. No size or serial markings are visible; hardware and structure remain intact throughout.

The 4G logo, introduced by Hubert de Givenchy in the 1970s, is a recurring motif that defined the house’s identity during his tenure. The precise geometric form seen here reflects the maison’s approach to minimalism and ornament, fusing French classicism with a graphic sensibility particular to the era.
