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 this Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Pouch? A: With approximate measurements of 17.5 x 9.5 x 5 cm, it is best suited to small essentials such as cards, keys, lipstick, folded notes, AirPods, and a compact phone depending on its case size. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the most accurate dimensions.
Q: What is Monogram Vernis leather? A: Monogram Vernis is Louis Vuitton's glossy patent calf leather embossed with the iconic Monogram pattern. It has a polished, structured look and is generally more resistant to light surface scratching than untreated smooth leather, but it does require thoughtful care.
Q: Is Vernis leather prone to colour transfer, yellowing or stickiness? A: Yes, that is one of the most commonly asked questions about Vernis. Because of its patent finish, it can pick up pigment from items such as denim, magazines, or darker leathers, and prolonged heat, humidity or sunlight can lead to fading, discolouration or a sticky feel over time. Richer shades like red often wear more forgivingly than very pale Vernis, but careful storage is still important.
Q: How should I care for and store this pouch? A: Wipe it gently with a soft cloth, keep it dry, and avoid commercial cleaners, oils, perfume, hand sanitiser and other chemicals. Store it away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity, and keep it separate from highly pigmented materials that could transfer colour onto the surface.
Q: Does this pouch have a detachable handle strap? A: Yes. This specific item features a single detachable handle strap, which makes it easy to carry as a compact hand-held pouch.
Q: What does the date code SN1008 mean? A: The code SN1008 indicates production in France, with the numbers pointing to the 10th week of 2008. As with all Louis Vuitton date codes, it helps indicate where and when the item was made, but it is not a unique serial number.
Q: Is the date code enough to confirm authenticity? A: No. A date code is only one part of the picture. For a pre-loved Louis Vuitton piece, authenticity should always be assessed through the overall quality of the embossing, stitching, hardware, lining, stamps and construction, together with the code format and placement.
Q: What condition is this pouch in? A: According to the product information, the exterior and interior are in very good condition with light traces of use, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. This makes it a strong vintage piece with gentle signs of previous wear rather than heavy damage.
Q: What product information is included with this item? A: The product information included with this pouch is a booklet. If any additional item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
