Perfect for days when you travel light, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram flap card holder is a refined choice for evenings, business lunches or city errands. Slim enough for a blazer pocket or mini bag, it keeps cards organised with effortless elegance from commute to cocktails.
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 this card holder? A: With approximate measurements of 11 × 8 × 1 cm and one main compartment, it comfortably carries everyday essentials such as 3–6 standard cards plus a few folded banknotes or receipts. Capacity varies with card thickness, so avoid overfilling to preserve its structure and flap closure.
Q: Will my credit card or driving licence fit? A: Yes. It is designed to hold standard ID‑1 format cards (85.60 × 53.98 mm), which is the size used for most credit/debit cards and many driving licences worldwide.
Q: Can it be used as a minimalist wallet? A: Absolutely. Use it for your most‑used cards and folded notes when you want a slim, pocket‑friendly option. It is not designed for coins, so we recommend keeping coins in a separate pouch to protect the lining and avoid bulk.
Q: Does it have RFID‑blocking protection? A: This vintage Louis Vuitton piece is not advertised with RFID‑blocking lining. Note that from 2021 Louis Vuitton began embedding microchips in many items to store manufacturing data; these chips are not the same as RFID‑blocking. If you require anti‑skimming protection, consider an RFID card sleeve inside the holder.
Q: Does this item have a date code, and where would it be? A: Many vintage Louis Vuitton small leather goods feature a discreetly embossed date code, often inside a pocket or along a seam. From 2021 the brand transitioned to embedded microchips instead of visible date codes, so presence and location can vary by production year. The stamp on this item indicates Spain as the country of origin.
Q: What is the interior lining like? A: The interior is terracotta cross‑grain leather, valued for its lightly textured finish that helps resist surface scuffs. Treat it gently, avoid sharp items, and do not overstuff to prevent impressions on the leather.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram coated canvas and leather lining? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep the item away from direct heat, sunlight, oils, and solvents, and do not use commercial cleaners on the leather. When not in use, store it loosely in a breathable pouch in a cool, ventilated place and avoid overpacking to maintain its shape.
Q: Is it water‑resistant? A: Monogram coated canvas offers good everyday durability and light water resistance, but it is not waterproof. If exposed to rain or splashes, wipe dry promptly and let it air naturally, away from heat sources.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this specific listing, no additional items are included unless expressly stated.
Q: How does A Retro Tale verify authenticity? A: Every item is meticulously examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share further product information on request.
