Perfect for weekend errands or a relaxed city stroll, this playful Louis Vuitton coin purse keeps loose change and small essentials to hand. Slip it into a mini bag for brunch, tuck it in a coat pocket for a night at the theatre, or take it travelling for quick access at coffee stops. A charming vintage accent that brings a touch of colour to everyday moments.
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 Louis Vuitton’s Conte de Fées collection? A: Conte de Fées (Fairy Tales) was a limited-edition line from 2002 featuring whimsical appliqué motifs created in collaboration with artist Julie Verhoeven. Pieces from this collection are discontinued and considered collectible today.
Q: What does the date code MI0042 mean on this coin purse? A: MI indicates French manufacture. For items made between 1990 and 2006, the first and third digits show the month and the second and fourth digits show the year. 0042 decodes to April 2002 in France, which aligns with the collection’s release.
Q: What typically fits inside this round coin purse? A: It comfortably holds coins, folded notes, a house key or small key fob, and small items like jewellery or a standard wireless earbud case. Due to its compact round shape, you’ll need to fold banknotes; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Do standard credit or transport cards fit? A: Standard cards generally do not fit flat in the classic round coin purse. Some users place a card diagonally, but this can stress the edges; we recommend a dedicated card holder if you need card storage.
Q: What materials does this piece use? A: It features Monogram Mini Lin canvas with a multicoloured leather appliqué, a brown cross-grain leather lining, silver-tone hardware and a single zip-top compartment—true to the playful aesthetic of Conte de Fées.
Q: How should I care for Mini Lin canvas and the leather appliqué? A: Avoid harsh chemicals and dry cleaning. Gently wipe the textile with a soft, slightly damp cloth (water with a drop of neutral soap), then wipe with plain water and allow to air-dry. Keep the leather appliqué away from abrasion and prolonged moisture or heat. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and colour-transfer risks (e.g., dark denim).
Q: Is this piece still produced and is it a collector’s item? A: No—Conte de Fées was a 2002 seasonal release and is no longer produced. Surviving examples are sought after by collectors, especially in good vintage condition.
Q: Does this coin purse have a chain or ring to attach to a bag? A: This example is designed as a stand-alone zip coin case without a chain, key hook or D-ring. Please review the photos and product information for exact details.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Our specialists perform a multi-point inspection of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps and date codes. Note that date codes are not unique identifiers and, on newer LV pieces (from 2021 onwards), microchips replaced visible codes—however this 2002 piece correctly features a period date code. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
