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 this coin purse hold day to day? A: With an approximate size of 13 × 9 cm, it comfortably carries coins, folded notes, a few cards, and a house key or small car fob on the attached chain. It is designed to carry small essentials like coins, cards, folded bills and keys without overfilling.
Q: Does it fit standard credit or ID cards? A: Yes, standard credit and ID cards fit inside. For smooth zipping and to preserve the shape, we recommend carrying a modest number of cards rather than stacking too many at once.
Q: What is the purpose of the chain and clasp? A: The chain lets you secure keys inside, or clip the purse to a bag’s D‑ring or a belt loop, so it can double as an easy‑to‑reach bag or belt charm.
Q: How should I care for Vernis (patent) leather? A: Keep it away from materials that may transfer colour (for example denim, magazines or darker leathers), avoid prolonged sunlight and heat, and wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use. Store it in a cool, dry place in a breathable dust bag—never in sealed plastic—and avoid alcohol or solvent‑based cleaners.
Q: Is Vernis leather waterproof? A: Vernis has a glossy, coated finish but it is not waterproof. If it gets wet, gently dab dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources.
Q: Does Vernis scratch or dent easily? A: The shiny patent surface can show micro‑scratches and pressure marks if rubbed against hard or sharp items. Avoid overfilling and keep keys on the internal chain to minimise contact with the exterior.
Q: Can I attach this coin purse inside my larger Louis Vuitton bag? A: Yes. The clasp can hook onto the D‑ring found inside many Louis Vuitton bags, keeping your essentials secure and easy to access.
Q: How do I store it to prevent colour transfer or stickiness? A: Store it separately in its dust bag, away from printed papers, plastics and dyed fabrics. Let it air between uses in a temperate, low‑humidity environment to help preserve the glossy finish.
Q: Will this item come with a box, dust bag or other extras? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories. For this piece, Accessories states no accessories. If an item isn’t listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us if you need clarification.
Q: Does it have a date code and how do you authenticate it? A: Vintage Louis Vuitton small leather goods typically have a heat‑stamped date code inside. From around March 2021, the brand phased out visible date codes in favour of embedded microchips. Regardless of coding, every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stamps and hardware.
