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 the Louis Vuitton Bijoux Sac Tapage bag charm and how is it used? A: It is a playful chain of Monogram flower charms in mixed metal tones with an engraved logo bar. It clips to a bag’s hardware for decoration and can also function as a key holder via its clasp.
Q: What is it made from? A: Louis Vuitton bag charms are typically crafted in brass with gold- and silver‑tone finishes; some Tapage versions feature a third, bronze‑tone finish. This piece is listed as gold-, silver- and bronze‑tone in the product information.
Q: Can I use it as a key ring every day? A: Yes. It is designed to serve as both a bag charm and a key holder. For everyday use, avoid overloading it with many keys to minimise wear and potential contact marks on your bag.
Q: Will a metal charm scratch my bag? A: Any metal charm can create light marks if it swings against soft leather. To minimise risk, attach it to a bag’s metal D‑ring or handle base, ensure it doesn’t rub directly on untreated leather, and remove it for crowded travel or storage.
Q: How big is it and what does it weigh? A: Dimensions can vary slightly by release. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact size. Weight is not specified by the brand; if you need a precise reading, contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
Q: Do Louis Vuitton bag charms have date codes? A: Many older LV charms carry tiny date codes stamped on the hardware (often on the round ring or the back of the plate). They are batch codes rather than unique serial numbers, and some authentic charms may not show one clearly. Presence or absence of a code alone does not confirm authenticity.
Q: How can I tell if this Tapage charm is authentic? A: Look for a solid, weighty feel; clean, deep engravings; quality plating; and correct construction of the clasp and rings. At A Retro Tale, every item is vetted by specialists using multi‑point checks; we stand behind the authenticity of what we sell and can provide additional photos on request.
Q: How should I care for the metal finish? A: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear; avoid contact with perfume, lotions, hand sanitiser, and water; and store it separately in a pouch to prevent surface scratches. Do not use abrasive polishes on plated finishes.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton repair a bag charm if the clasp loosens or a part breaks? A: Repairs for leather goods and certain product categories can be requested through Louis Vuitton service. Availability depends on parts and assessment in store, so we recommend bringing the charm to an LV boutique for evaluation.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included.
