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 is the Louis Vuitton Monogram Mini Trunk Case typically used for? A: This is a small, hard-sided case inspired by Louis Vuitton’s historic trunks. It is best suited as a jewellery or keepsake box, or to organise small essentials at home or inside a larger bag when travelling.
Q: What fits inside given the measurements? A: With approximate external measurements of 4.5 × 6.5 × 6.5 inches (about 11.5 × 16.5 × 16.5 cm), it comfortably holds small items such as rings, earrings, cufflinks, a slim bracelet, a folded necklace, a compact watch, or small daily essentials like a lip balm or USB drive. For delicate pieces, use soft pouches to prevent marks on the lining and hardware.
Q: Can this be worn as a handbag or with a strap? A: No. This piece is designed as a compact trunk-style case and does not include a shoulder strap or strap attachments. It is intended to be hand-carried or placed within a larger tote or suitcase.
Q: How does the S-lock work and are keys included? A: The S-lock is a trunk-inspired clasp. To open, press the mechanism as designed; on lockable versions, a small key turns the lock cylinder before releasing the clasp. Keys are only included if stated in the product information. If the lock feels stiff, avoid forcing it and press evenly on the mechanism before trying again.
Q: What comes with this item? A: Included items are listed under product information. For this piece, a box is included. If an item such as a dust bag or keys is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What materials is it made from? A: Signature Monogram coated canvas exterior, gold-tone hardware, and a beige Alcantara (microfibre) lining, with an S-lock closure—classic Louis Vuitton trunk-making cues in a compact format.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram coated canvas and Alcantara lining? A: For canvas, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid solvents, alcohol-based products, and prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight. For Alcantara, regularly brush or lightly vacuum to remove dust; blot spills promptly and use a mild, water-based solution sparingly, testing on a hidden area first. Always allow to air dry and avoid harsh chemicals.
Q: How do I look after the gold-tone hardware? A: Light surface scratches and mellowing are normal on vintage hardware. Keep hardware dry, wipe with a soft dry cloth after use, and avoid metal polishes or abrasive cleaners which can damage the finish.
Q: Does this piece have a date code, and is it normal if I cannot find one? A: Many vintage Louis Vuitton pieces feature a discreet date code; on Alcantara it may be stamped directly and can fade with time. Older items may have no code, and from March 2021 the brand introduced internal microchips instead of visible codes. Absence of a code on vintage items does not by itself indicate inauthenticity.
Q: Where was this item made? A: As stated in the product details, this piece was crafted in France.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece undergoes multi-point inspection by our in-house experts, assessing materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and era-appropriate details. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide further information on request.
