Perfect for weddings, summer parties or chic dinners, this vintage Louis Vuitton Lexington Pochette in yellow Monogram Vernis with Vachetta trim and gold-tone hardware adds a glossy pop of colour. Its zip-top design and detachable strap keep essentials secure from day to evening.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What are the dimensions and how much does it hold? A: The Lexington Vernis Pochette measures approximately 20 × 12 × 4 cm. It comfortably carries daily essentials such as a phone (most models up to about 16 cm in length), a cardholder or small compact wallet, keys and a lipstick. Bulkier items like long continental wallets or hard glasses cases are unlikely to fit.
Q: Is the strap detachable and how can I carry it? A: Yes. It features a single flat, detachable vachetta leather strap with a drop of about 13 cm. Wear it in hand, on the wrist, or snugly under the arm; you can also remove the strap to carry it as a clutch.
Q: Can I add a longer strap or chain to wear it crossbody? A: The Lexington was not designed for crossbody use. While some buyers attach aftermarket chains/straps, doing so may place stress on hardware (especially the zip pull) and is at the owner’s discretion. A Retro Tale does not supply additional straps for this item.
Q: What is Monogram Vernis leather? A: Monogram Vernis is a glossy, patent-finish calf leather embossed with the LV monogram. It offers a sleek, reflective look introduced in the late 1990s and is a signature material for compact evening and occasion bags like the Lexington.
Q: How should I care for Vernis leather? A: Keep it away from materials that may transfer colour (for example, dark denim, magazines or dyed leathers). Avoid prolonged sunlight and heat, and store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth; do not use alcohol or harsh cleaners.
Q: Do light Vernis colours change over time? A: Light Vernis shades can be more sensitive to light and may develop a slight yellow tinge or fade with prolonged exposure. Sensible storage away from direct light and humidity helps preserve the original colour.
Q: How should I look after the vachetta leather strap? A: Vachetta is untreated natural leather that develops a warm patina with use. Keep it away from water and oils where possible and dry it gently if it gets wet. Some minor darkening over time is normal and part of its character.
Q: What does the date code TH0868 indicate? A: The letters identify the country of manufacture—TH denotes France. The numbers follow Louis Vuitton’s historical month/year format used in the 1990s–2000s. This aligns with late‑1990s Vernis production. Note that date codes are not unique and are not proof of authenticity on their own.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing states no accessories. Everything included is always detailed in the Accessories section; if an item like a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes by our in‑house experts. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
