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 typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Vernis Chicken Coin Purse? A: With approximate measurements of 12 x 9 x 2 cm, it is ideal for coins, folded notes, keys, lip balm, earbuds, and a few small essentials. It is a compact piece rather than a full wallet, so bulkier items will fill it quickly.
Q: Can it hold cards as well as coins? A: Yes. It can usually hold a few slim cards alongside coins or folded cash, but it is not designed to replace a larger card wallet. Capacity will depend on how much change you carry.
Q: Can I attach it to a bag or use it with keys? A: Yes. This piece features a keyring clasp with chain, so it can be clipped inside a larger bag, attached to keys, or used as a decorative bag charm.
Q: What is Vernis leather? A: Vernis is Louis Vuitton's glossy embossed patent leather, known for its polished shine and monogram finish. It offers a structured look and tends to resist minor surface scratching better than untreated leather, but it still benefits from careful handling.
Q: Is Vernis leather prone to colour transfer or fading? A: Vernis can pick up colour from dyed materials such as denim, dark leather, magazines, or printed surfaces, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may also affect the finish over time. To help preserve it, store the purse in a cool, ventilated place and avoid rubbing it against dark or colour-rich materials.
Q: Can vintage Vernis become sticky with age? A: Older Vernis pieces can sometimes develop tackiness if they have been exposed to heat, humidity, or poor storage over time. This item is described as being in very good condition, and no stickiness is noted in the product information.
Q: What condition is this piece in? A: The exterior is listed as very good with small marks at the edge, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Overall, it is presented in very good vintage condition.
Q: What does the code SN4069 mean? A: On Louis Vuitton pieces from this period, this type of code is generally a date code rather than a unique serial number. The SN factory code corresponds to France, and the numbers indicate production in the 46th week of 2009.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing is for the coin purse only. No box, dust bag, or other accompanying items are included unless specifically stated on the product page.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed by in-house experts using multiple checkpoints such as materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and codes. The date code is one helpful indicator, but it is not relied on alone to confirm authenticity.
