Made for spring soirées and pastel‑toned days, this vintage Louis Vuitton Epi envelope pouch in lilac and off‑white is a chic companion for weddings, gallery openings or dinner dates. Its slim profile and flap closure keep essentials neat, while the taupe Alcantara interior adds a discreet touch of luxury.
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 can I fit inside the Louis Vuitton Epi Envelope Pouch? A: With its compact size of approximately 18 × 13 × 1 cm, it comfortably carries essentials such as a slim cardholder, folded notes, coins, keys, a passport, and a lipstick or compact. It is best used for small items rather than bulky objects.
Q: Will my smartphone fit inside this pouch? A: Due to the 13 cm internal height, most modern large smartphones do not fit. Smaller, slim models up to roughly 12.5–13 cm in height may fit without a thick case. Please compare your phone’s measurements with the dimensions listed here to be sure.
Q: Does this pouch have a strap or internal pockets? A: This vintage model is designed as a handheld envelope with a single main compartment and a flap closure. It does not include a strap or built‑in card slots.
Q: What is special about Louis Vuitton Epi leather? A: Epi leather is a textured, dyed‑through leather known for its structure, scratch resistance and water‑resistant properties. Introduced by Louis Vuitton in the mid‑1980s, it is prized for durability while maintaining a refined, understated look.
Q: How should I care for Epi leather? A: Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry gently. Avoid harsh cleaners, oils or alcohol‑based products. Store the pouch lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from heat and prolonged sunlight. Light Epi colours can be prone to colour transfer from dark denim or heavily dyed fabrics, so minimise prolonged contact.
Q: How do I clean the Alcantara lining? A: Gently brush out any debris, then blot with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water. For marks, use a mild soap‑and‑water solution, dab (do not rub), and allow to air dry. Always test on a discreet area first and avoid soaking the material.
Q: Is this piece authentic and does it have a date code? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point in‑house authentication. Many vintage Louis Vuitton small leather goods include a date code stamped along a seam or inside a pocket; codes were widely used from the early 1980s until 2021 and can fade with age. If present, we can help locate and interpret it for you.
Q: Where was this pouch made? A: This particular piece is stamped France, as noted on the Country of Origin label.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This pouch is sold without accessories such as a dust bag or box. Everything included is always listed in the Accessories section—contact us if you would like us to confirm what is included.
