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 Heart Coin Purse? A: This compact piece is best for coins, folded notes, a key, lipstick, or similarly small essentials. With approximate dimensions of 11 × 10 × 2 cm, it is designed for compact items rather than bulky contents. Slim cards may fit, but space is limited due to the heart shape.
Q: Can it be used as a bag charm or clipped inside another bag? A: Yes. This purse features a chain link with clasp and charms, so it can be attached to a larger bag or used decoratively while keeping tiny valuables close at hand. The attached chain measures approximately 24 cm.
Q: What is Vernis leather? A: Vernis is Louis Vuitton’s glossy embossed patent leather, known for its shiny finish and subtle Monogram relief. It gives the purse a polished, eye-catching look, but it also benefits from gentle handling and careful storage.
Q: How should I care for vintage Vernis leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid solvents, harsh cleaners, and abrasive rubbing. Do not overfill the purse, and store it in a cool, ventilated place away from heat and direct sunlight to help preserve the shape and finish.
Q: Is colour transfer or stickiness something to watch for with Vernis? A: Yes. Vernis leather can pick up dye from dark denim, magazines, coloured leather, and other strongly pigmented surfaces. Older patent finishes can also become tacky if exposed to heat or humidity, so careful storage and limited contact with dark materials are recommended.
Q: What is the condition of this particular item? A: This example is rated Very Good condition. The exterior shows light traces of use, the lining has some stains, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage pieces, minor signs of age are part of the character.
Q: Does this item come with its box or other original product information? A: It comes with a box. If any additional extras were included, they would be listed in the product information section. If they are not listed there, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What if the internal code marking is illegible? A: The internal code marking on this piece is listed as illegible, which can happen on older small leather goods through age or wear. For vintage Louis Vuitton, that marking is only one checkpoint and not the sole proof of authenticity; overall materials, hardware, construction, embossing, lining, and craftsmanship are also important.
Q: Is this purse more practical or more collectible? A: It offers both appeal and function. It is practical for coins and a few tiny essentials, while the heart shape, glossy Vernis finish, and charm detail also make it a distinctive collector’s piece or decorative accent for a larger bag.
