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 measurements and what typically fits inside? A: The bag measures approximately 25 × 14 × 4 cm. It comfortably holds a large smartphone, a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick and other slim essentials. The interior includes a zipped pocket and a flat pocket to keep items organised—please refer to the measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Does this piece come with a chain strap? A: Louise models exist with and without a chain. This item includes only what is listed under the product information on this page. If a chain strap is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does the closure work—will it stay shut? A: The front LV logo functions as a magnetic flap closure designed to snap securely into place during normal use, keeping your essentials safely inside.
Q: What is Vernis leather and how should I care for it? A: Vernis is calf leather finished with a glossy patent coating. Avoid prolonged sunlight and contact with materials that may transfer colour (for example dark denim, printed magazines or other dyed leathers). Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use and avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol-based products and excessive heat or humidity.
Q: Is Vernis leather prone to colour transfer or stickiness? A: Patent finishes can pick up dyes from nearby materials and may become tacky if exposed to heat or unsuitable storage. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from plastic covers and direct heat, and do not press it against dark or printed items.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody or only as a clutch? A: It functions perfectly as a handheld evening clutch. If a chain strap is included and listed in the product information, it can also be worn on the shoulder or crossbody depending on the chain length.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: This specific item carries a made-in-Italy label, as indicated in the product information. Louis Vuitton produces items in several countries, including France, Spain, Italy and the USA, and origin can vary by piece.
Q: Does it have a date code? A: Some pre-2021 pieces feature a stamped date code, typically inside the bag, while newer pieces may instead have an embedded microchip with no visible code. Our team records all relevant identifiers during authentication.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point inspection by our in-house experts, checking materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and production identifiers. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
Q: Any storage tips to keep it looking its best? A: After use, empty the bag, wipe it with a soft cloth, and store it stuffed with acid-free tissue in a breathable dust bag. Keep it upright in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and coloured materials to minimise imprints and colour transfer.
