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 Vernis Pouch? A: With measurements of approximately 20 x 10 x 7 cm, this pouch is well suited to small daily essentials such as lipstick, a compact, cards, keys, earbuds, and travel-sized beauty items. It can also work as a compact evening pouch. Phone fit will depend on the size of the handset and how full the pouch is.
Q: Can this pouch be used as a clutch? A: Yes. Although this shape is often used for cosmetics or organisation inside a larger bag, it can also be carried as a small clutch for evenings or events.
Q: Does this pouch have a strap or handle? A: No. This item does not have a strap or handle, so it is designed to be carried in the hand or placed inside another bag.
Q: What is Louis Vuitton Vernis leather? A: Monogram Vernis is Louis Vuitton’s glossy embossed patent calfskin, known for its shiny finish and raised Monogram pattern. It is generally more resistant to light surface scratching than untreated leather, but it can still be sensitive to pressure marks, colour transfer, and prolonged sun exposure.
Q: Is colour transfer a common concern with Vernis leather? A: Yes. One of the most frequently mentioned points with Vernis leather is its sensitivity to colour transfer from items such as denim, dark leather, magazines, or printed materials. Burgundy tends to disguise this better than very pale shades, but care is still recommended.
Q: How should I care for vintage Vernis leather? A: Keep it away from dark fabrics, denim, magazines, heat, direct sunlight, water, oils, make-up, perfume, and sanitiser. If needed, wipe the surface gently with a soft, lightly damp cloth and store it in a cool, ventilated place without overfilling it, so the shape stays neat.
Q: What does the date code SN4088 mean? A: This date code format indicates both place and time of production. SN denotes France, and 4088 indicates the 48th week of 2008.
Q: What is included with this item? A: No additional items are included with this pouch. Please refer to the product information on this page for the exact included details for this specific piece.
Q: What condition is this pouch in? A: This item is listed in very good vintage condition, with light traces of use externally and internally. The hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches, which is consistent with gentle pre-owned wear.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is reviewed by specialists who assess materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and date codes before it is offered for sale.
