Description
Model History:
Presented for the first time in Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2019 collection, this Cuban chain necklace was designed under the artistic direction of Virgil Abloh, marking one of his first contributions to the house’s men’s jewelry universe. Inspired by the aesthetics of hip-hop culture and urban jewelry of the ’90s, Abloh here reinterprets the Cuban link chain with a luxurious, contemporary eye. By integrating colorful enamel and Monogram motifs on massive links, he introduces a bold vision, between tradition and modernity. This model, launched in 2019, has become emblematic of this new stylistic era at Louis Vuitton.
Exterior Details:
The necklace is composed of a series of wide, flat Cuban links, articulated to fit comfortably around the neck. The links are made of highly polished silver-plated metal, partially covered with hand-worked blue enamel. Three shades of blue follow one another, with shiny and matte variations adding depth to the overall effect. Some links feature mini Monogram motifs engraved or painted on the enamel surface. A smooth silver plate interrupts the rhythm of the links, accentuating the personalized look of the piece. The invisible clasp is integrated into the last link for a sleek finish.
Interior details:
The inner face of the links, in bare metal, has a smooth, shiny finish, ensuring pleasant contact with the skin. There are no intrusive markings to detract from the aesthetics, apart from the discreet Louis Vuitton signature near the clasp. The interior of the links shows the remarkable precision of assembly typical of the House’s top-of-the-range accessories.
Product Condition:
The necklace is in new, unworn condition. The enamel is intact, with no scratches, chips or tarnish. The silver metal shows no signs of oxidation or discoloration. The clasp works perfectly and closes with a clean click. The necklace is accompanied by its beige canvas dustbag with Louis Vuitton logo and its rigid orange box with drawer, in perfect condition. This is a complete set, ideal for a collector’s item or a high-end gift.
Care instructions:
To preserve the shine of the silver metal and the brilliance of the enamel, we recommend cleaning the collar with a soft microfiber cloth after each wear. Avoid exposure to water, perfumes, lotions or chemicals, which could alter the finish. Store the piece in its dustbag in a dry place when not in use. Handle the clasp with care to ensure longevity.
