1017 ALYX 9SM, first called ALYX, was founded in 2015 by Matthew Williams with Luca Benini, and its rollercoaster belt, with a buckle modeled on a roller coaster harness, is its signature piece. Copies of that belt were reported on Amazon as early as 2018, so the buckle and its finish matter more than a printed strap that looks right.
Send photos of your ALYX belt or garment and a professional authenticator checks the buckle, its finish and engravings, the strap print and ends, the labels and the care tags against verified ALYX references.
