Q: What typically fits inside this Murakami Flap Card Holder?
A: With approximate measurements of 10 × 8 × 1 cm, it comfortably holds a small stack of business cards, or a minimalist set-up such as 3–5 payment/ID cards plus a couple of folded notes or receipts. Capacity varies with card thickness—avoid overfilling to preserve the shape and press‑stud closure.

Q: Is this an authentic Takashi Murakami Multicolore piece and when was the line produced?
A: Yes. Louis Vuitton’s Monogram Multicolore, created with artist Takashi Murakami, debuted in 2003 and the original line was discontinued in 2015. This item is a vintage Multicolore piece on black coated canvas.

Q: What does the date code CA1019 indicate?
A: In Louis Vuitton’s 2007–2020 format, CA denotes a Spanish workshop and the four digits indicate week and year. CA1019 decodes to the 11th week of 2009, made in Spain.

Q: How many cards can it hold in daily use?
A: As a flap card holder with one interior compartment, it’s ideal for business cards or a pared‑back wallet set-up. Expect around 10 business cards or 3–5 plastic cards to fit comfortably without stressing the press‑stud. Adjust according to your card thickness and preference.

Q: Will the Multicolore print rub off or fade with use?
A: The multicoloured motif is printed on top of coated canvas in thin ink layers, which can be susceptible to abrasion on high‑friction areas. Normal, careful use is fine, but avoid persistent rubbing against rough surfaces, and don’t overstuff the holder so the flap isn’t forced.

Q: How should I care for the coated canvas and leather lining?
A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep away from oils, solvents, alcohol‑based products (including hand sanitiser), and direct heat or prolonged sunlight. Store it lightly filled in a breathable dust bag, and avoid contact with light‑coloured textiles that may cause colour transfer. Use a clean, dry cloth for the leather lining—avoid harsh cleaners.

Q: The interior has hot‑stamped initials—can they be removed?
A: Hot‑stamped initials on leather are typically permanent. Some boutiques may offer component replacement or refinishing on a case‑by‑case basis, subject to part availability and fees. As Multicolore is discontinued, replacement parts may be limited. We do not recommend DIY removal methods; please consult Louis Vuitton if you wish to explore service options.

Q: Is the card holder unisex and pocket‑friendly?
A: Absolutely. The slim envelope design suits any wardrobe and slips easily into most trouser or jacket pockets. The press‑stud keeps contents secure on the move.

Q: Can I attach a chain or key ring to it?
A: This model is a simple flap card holder and does not have an external D‑ring or eyelet. It is designed to be carried in hand, a pocket, or inside a bag.
