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: Is this Louis Vuitton Essential V Bracelet authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What is it made from? Is it solid sterling silver? A: The Essential V is Louis Vuitton fashion jewellery typically crafted from brass with a silver‑tone (palladium) or gold‑tone plated finish. Our piece is listed in a silver‑tone finish. It is not solid sterling silver unless explicitly stated.
Q: What are the measurements and how will it fit? A: The bracelet is adjustable and commonly fits approximately 15–19 cm wrists; this piece is listed at 19 cm adjustable. The central V motif is about 1.3 cm x 1.3 cm, offering a refined, everyday scale on the wrist.
Q: How does it fasten and what are the key design details? A: It features a lobster clasp with extender links for size adjustment. Hallmark design elements include the central Essential V and an LV circle charm near the clasp, giving a subtle signature finish.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect? A: Expect the Louis Vuitton signature and country of origin stamp (often Made in Italy or Made in France); some pieces also bear a model/date code. Placement can vary between seasons and productions.
Q: Is it nickel‑free and suitable for sensitive skin? A: Fashion jewellery alloys and platings can contain traces of nickel. If you have sensitivities, wear it for shorter periods, keep skin dry, consider a clear barrier on contact points, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower, swimming or during workouts? A: We recommend keeping plated jewellery dry. Water, sweat, perfumes and lotions can accelerate wear of the plated finish over time. Remove the bracelet before bathing, swimming, exercising, or applying cosmetics.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid chemical dips and ultrasonic cleaners. Store it separately in a pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight, to minimise scratches and preserve the plated finish.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return it? A: This bracelet is in Very Good Condition, so light signs of careful wear may be present unless noted otherwise. Only accessories specifically shown or listed are included—this item comes with no accessories. Returns are accepted under our standard policy—please see our Returns page for eligibility, timeframes and conditions, and ensure the item is returned in the same condition received.
