Louis Vuitton Flowers Chain Bag Charm

Q: What is the Louis Vuitton Flowers Chain Bag Charm and Key Holder?
A: It is a decorative Louis Vuitton accessory featuring Monogram flower motifs and a "V" initial on a mixed gold‑ and silver‑tone chain. It has both a snap‑hook clasp for attaching to a bag and a split key ring, so it can be used as a bag charm or as a key holder. This listing is a vintage, pre‑owned piece.

Q: What are the dimensions and will it fit my bag?
A: The charm measures approximately H 14 cm x W 6.5 cm x D 0.5 cm. It is designed to clip to most bags with a D‑ring or metal hardware, and can also be hooked to a handle. If attaching to delicate leather (e.g., untreated vachetta), clip to a metal ring where possible to avoid indentations or marks.

Q: How do I attach it or open the key ring?
A: Use the snap‑hook to clip the charm to your bag’s D‑ring or handle. To use the split key ring, gently pull the small moving section towards the chain and rotate the ring to slide keys on; many LV rings use a pull‑and‑twist action. If stiff, a key‑ring tool can help—avoid prying with sharp objects to prevent scratches.

Q: What materials is it made from and how should I care for it?
A: Louis Vuitton bag charms typically feature plated metal hardware (gold/silver tone) with enamel or resin flower inlays. Wipe metal gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth; avoid abrasive polishes, chemicals, and prolonged moisture. Keep the charm away from perfumes and hand sanitisers, and dry immediately if it gets wet. Store separately in its box or a soft pouch to prevent rubbing.

Q: Will the hardware tarnish or scratch?
A: Plated hardware can develop hairline scratches and mild dulling with normal use; this is expected on pre‑owned pieces. Proper storage and gentle cleaning help maintain the finish. Avoid leaving any protective films on the metal long‑term, as adhesives can mark the surface.

Q: Can I use it as a full keychain every day?
A: Yes, but be mindful of weight. Heavy sets of keys or key fobs can strain bag hardware and may cause premature wear to the charm’s plating. For daily key use, attach keys to the split ring and clip the hook to a belt loop or secure point rather than a delicate bag handle.

Q: How is authenticity verified and what does the code LE1121 mean?
A: A Retro Tale authenticates every item via multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamping and codes. The code LE1121 indicates a production batch and time (Louis Vuitton used letter‑plus‑digits formats to denote factory and week/year). Note that LV began phasing out visible date codes in 2021 in favour of embedded microchips, so presence or absence of a code is not the sole indicator of authenticity.

Q: Can Louis Vuitton service or repair this charm?
A: LV boutiques can advise on cleaning or hardware service on a case‑by‑case basis; availability and costs vary by region and model. Minor cosmetic wear on plated hardware is considered normal and may not be refinished. We recommend consulting your local LV store for options.

Q: Is this item unisex?
A: Yes. Bag charms and key holders are gender‑neutral accessories and can be styled on totes, cross‑body bags, backpacks, and luggage alike.

Q: What is included and what is the condition?
A: This piece is listed in Very Good condition and comes with a box as shown. Please review all photos and the condition notes to see the exact inclusions and signs of wear.
