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 is the Louis Vuitton Monogram Shine Shawl? A: It is a large Louis Vuitton square shawl woven in a jacquard Monogram with subtle metallic yarns that give a soft sheen. This pre-owned piece is the Anthracite (deep grey) colourway with fringed edges and a reversible two-tone effect.
Q: What are the measurements of this shawl? A: Approximately 142 x 142 cm (about 56 x 56 inches). This generous size makes it suitable for multiple styling options, from draping to wrapping.
Q: What is it made from? A: Composition can vary slightly by season and colour. Monogram Shine shawls are typically a silk and wool blend with added viscose/metallic fibres for the shimmer. Please refer to the care label and our photos for the exact fibre mix of this item.
Q: Is the Monogram Shine Shawl reversible? A: Yes. The jacquard weave creates a two-tone, reversible effect with the Monogram appearing in inverse colours on each side, so you can wear either face outward.
Q: How delicate is it—will it snag or pill? A: These shawls are known to be delicate due to their fine weave and mixed fibres. Snags can occur with jewellery, rough zips, or textured fabrics, and light pilling may appear with wear. Handle with care and avoid contact with abrasive surfaces.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Follow the care label—professional dry cleaning is generally recommended. Many owners simply air the shawl between wears and spot clean gently if needed. Avoid machine washing, strong detergents, or wringing. Store flat or loosely folded, away from direct sunlight and fragrance to protect the fibres and finish.
Q: Is it warm and can I wear it year-round? A: Yes. The silk-wool blend offers lightweight warmth that layers well in cooler months yet remains breathable enough for transitional seasons or air‑conditioned settings.
Q: Does it have a date code or microchip? A: Louis Vuitton shawls and stoles generally do not have date codes like bags. Authentic pieces typically feature woven branding and a sewn care/composition label; absence of a visible date code on a shawl is normal. A Retro Tale performs multi‑point authentication on every item.
Q: What exactly is included with this listing? A: This item is listed as having no accessories, so the original box or dust bag is not included. Please review the photos to see the full contents.
Q: Where is this piece made and what is the condition? A: The country of origin label is Italy. It is in Good condition with a light trace of use; please review our detailed photos and condition notes to assess the exact state.
