Perfect for an elegant dinner or gallery opening, this vintage Louis Vuitton Epi Soufflot pouch in black Epi leather brings refined structure to your look. Compact yet practical, it keeps essentials secure with its zip fastening and is easily carried by the twin top handles to complement tailored or evening wear.
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 Epi Soufflot pouch? A: Thanks to its compact cylindrical shape, it comfortably holds a small cardholder, keys or a key fob, lipstick, lip balm, a compact mirror, folded notes and coins, and most wireless earbud cases. Capacity varies with how you pack, so please compare with the Measurements shown on this page for best guidance.
Q: Will my smartphone fit in this pouch? A: Most modern smartphones will not fit due to the pouch’s length and narrow zip opening. Compact models and smaller/older phones may fit without a bulky case; we recommend measuring your device against the Measurements on this page before purchase.
Q: Can I use the Soufflot pouch on its own or attach it to another bag? A: Yes. The Soufflot pouch was originally paired with the Epi Soufflot handbag, but it can be carried solo by its short strap or looped onto a D-ring/handle on another bag. The strap on this item is approximately 17 cm, as listed in the Measurements.
Q: What is Epi leather and what are its benefits? A: Epi is Louis Vuitton’s textured, dyed‑through cowhide renowned for its structure, scratch resistance, and water‑resistant finish. It holds its shape well and is ideal for frequent use while maintaining a refined look.
Q: How should I care for the Epi leather exterior and Alcantara interior? A: Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it air dry. Avoid soaps, oils, and alcohol‑based cleaners, and keep away from prolonged sunlight, heat, and humidity. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain shape. For the Alcantara lining, use a clean lint roller or soft brush to lift dust and blot any accidental spills promptly with a dry cloth—do not saturate.
Q: Does this vintage pouch have a date code, and what if I can’t find one? A: Many vintage Louis Vuitton pieces have a heat‑stamped date code that can be tucked along a seam and may fade with age. Since 2021, Louis Vuitton has replaced visible date codes with embedded microchips on newer items, so a missing code is not unusual on recent pieces. Our authentication does not rely solely on a date code.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything you will receive is listed under product information on this page. If something (for example, a box or booklet) is not listed there, it is not included. If you need confirmation, please contact us.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: This example is labelled France, as shown in the product information.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes a rigorous multi‑point inspection of materials, construction, stamps, lining, and hardware by our in‑house experts, supported by industry tools where appropriate. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
Q: How will the hardware age and how should I care for it? A: Gold‑tone hardware can develop fine surface scratches with normal use. Avoid abrasive polishes; simply wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear and store the pouch to minimise rubbing against other metal items.
