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 the Lexington Fleurs Pochette? A: Based on its compact measurements of approximately 20 × 11.5 × 4 cm, it comfortably holds a smartphone, small card holder or compact wallet, keys, lipstick, and a few small essentials. Full‑length long wallets are usually too large; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Is the strap removable or adjustable, and can it be worn crossbody? A: The bag has a short Vachetta leather shoulder strap with an approximate 17 cm drop. The strap is removable on one side via a clasp and is designed for shoulder or wrist carry. Some customers add third‑party chains to wear it crossbody by clipping to the side rings; if you choose to do so, avoid attaching to the zipper pull and keep the load light to prevent strain.
Q: What is Monogram Vernis leather and how should I care for it? A: Monogram Vernis is a patent‑finished calf leather embossed with the LV Monogram. Keep it away from dark textiles and printed materials that may transfer colour, avoid prolonged sunlight and heat, and store loosely stuffed in a cool, dry place. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid solvents or alcohol‑based cleaners.
Q: How do I care for the Vachetta strap and gold‑tone hardware? A: Vachetta is untreated cowhide that develops a natural patina and is sensitive to water and oils. Keep it dry; if it gets wet, blot immediately and allow it to air‑dry away from heat. Hardware plating can scratch or tarnish with wear; polish lightly with a soft, dry cloth only—no metal polishes or chemicals.
Q: Where will I find the date code and what does it tell me? A: On small Louis Vuitton bags from this era, the date code is typically embossed on a leather tab or stamped directly onto the lining along an interior seam. The two letters indicate country of manufacture (for example, VI for France) and the numbers indicate the production date according to the format used at the time. Codes can fade with use and are only one element of authentication.
Q: When was the Lexington Fleurs produced? A: This variant is widely associated with the early to mid‑2000s. Documented examples show production in the early 2000s, including pieces coded to 2002 and 2005, so it is generally considered a vintage model from that period.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. For this listing, no additional items are included.
Q: The listing notes a slight vintage smell. Any safe ways to reduce it? A: Air the bag in a cool, dry, shaded place. Use enclosed odour‑absorbing sachets nearby (for example, activated charcoal or baking soda kept in a breathable pouch) without direct contact with the leather. Avoid perfumes or harsh sprays. If the odour persists, consult a professional leather care specialist.
Q: Is the bag water‑resistant? A: While Vernis has a coated finish, it is not waterproof. Avoid rain and humidity; if exposed to moisture, wipe dry promptly with a soft cloth and let the bag air‑dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
