Q: How big is the Louis Vuitton LV Charms brooch?
A: Please refer to the Measurements on this page; this piece is approximately 8 × 8 × 1 in size. Because brooches vary in weight and fabrics vary in strength, we recommend wearing it on structured materials like lapels, blazers, coats or heavier knits.

Q: Will a brooch pin damage my clothes?
A: Any pin can leave small holes if used repeatedly in the same spot or on delicate fabrics. To minimise marks, pin through seams, lapels or doubled fabric; support soft knits from the back with a small piece of felt or interfacing; avoid very fine silks and lace; and rotate placement so the same area isn’t stressed each time.

Q: Can I wear this on a leather bag?
A: We do not recommend piercing leather, as holes will be permanent. If you want the look on a bag, pin it to a scarf tied around the handle or to a fabric strap cover, or use a magnetic brooch adapter with caution, as magnets may not hold securely for heavier pieces.

Q: How secure is the fastening?
A: The brooch uses a standard pin fastening with a clasp. Ensure the clasp is fully closed after positioning. For extra security on thicker coats or during travel, you can add a discrete locking pin stopper (not included).

Q: How should I care for the gold- and silver‑tone finish?
A: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear. Keep it away from moisture, perfumes, lotions, hand sanitisers and household cleaners, which can dull or oxidise plated finishes. Store it separately in a soft pouch to avoid scratches and tangling with other jewellery.

Q: Can Louis Vuitton polish or re-plate fashion jewellery?
A: Louis Vuitton’s online repair service does not accept jewellery; a boutique can advise case by case. Replating of fashion jewellery is generally done by independent jewellers and results can vary depending on the piece. Many owners choose routine gentle care instead of refinishing.

Q: How can I style a two‑tone brooch?
A: Two‑tone pieces are versatile: pair with mixed‑metal jewellery, place it on a blazer lapel, secure a scarf at the shoulder, accent a beret, or cluster with smaller pins for a statement. Keep the brooch as the focal point and balance it with simple earrings or a slim chain.
