Perfect for days when you travel light, this Louis Vuitton Monogram card holder slips neatly into a blazer pocket or mini bag. Ideal for the office commute, city breaks and evening plans alike, it keeps essentials refined and within easy reach while adding a subtle touch of luxury.
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 fits inside and how many cards will it hold? A: With dimensions of approximately 11 × 7.5 × 0.6 cm, it comfortably carries 3–5 standard cards once the leather has gently broken in. This piece has one main compartment and one exterior slip pocket for a quick‑access card. It can also hold folded notes and receipts.
Q: Will the leather stretch if I overfill it? A: Empreinte leather will relax slightly with use. To maintain the shape and edging, avoid overstuffing; start with a few cards and allow a short break‑in period.
Q: Is Empreinte leather durable and water‑resistant? A: Empreinte is a grained, embossed cowhide known for its supple yet robust finish. Like all leather, keep it away from water and abrasive surfaces; if it becomes wet, blot dry promptly with a clean, light‑coloured cloth.
Q: Are light colours like ecru prone to colour transfer? A: Yes. Lighter leathers can pick up dye from dark or highly pigmented materials (for example denim). Minimise contact with such materials and avoid prolonged sunlight or heat to preserve the colour.
Q: Does this item have a date code? A: Depending on the production year, Louis Vuitton small leather goods may feature an embedded microchip instead of a stamped date code (a transition that began around 2021). A missing date code does not indicate inauthenticity; our team authenticates each item through multi‑point inspection.
Q: Is this card holder RFID‑blocking? A: No. It does not include RFID‑blocking lining. Any embedded LV microchip (if present) is for internal identification and does not protect payment cards. If you require RFID shielding, consider a slim blocking card or sleeve.
Q: Will business cards fit? A: Yes. It accommodates standard business cards as well as credit and transit cards. For thicker, textured cards, allow a brief break‑in period.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth for light surface marks. Avoid soaps, solvents, oils, or alcohol‑based products. Store in a cool, dry place in a breathable pouch, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Q: Where was this piece made? A: This specific item is labelled France. Country of origin can vary by collection and year.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. For this piece, no additional items are listed.
