Perfect for cocktail parties, theatre nights and elegant dinners, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Flap Pouch lends timeless polish to evening ensembles and elevates smart-casual looks from day to night.
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 the Louis Vuitton Monogram Flap Pouch? A: With an interior around 23 × 16 cm, it comfortably carries a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, passport, keys, and a few slim beauty essentials. For best results, compare your items to the listed measurements and avoid over‑packing to preserve the pouch’s shape.
Q: Does this pouch come with a strap or chain? A: No. This piece is designed as a handheld clutch pouch and is sold without a strap or chain. Please refer to the product information on this page for everything included with the item.
Q: Is Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas leather? A: No. Monogram is a coated canvas that is supple and hard‑wearing, paired here with a brown leather lining. The canvas offers everyday durability while the leather elements add a refined finish.
Q: Is the canvas water‑resistant and how should I clean it? A: Coated canvas is resistant to everyday splashes but not fully waterproof. Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water if needed. Avoid alcohol‑based products, oils, harsh cleaners, or abrasive scrubbing, and dry naturally away from heat sources.
Q: How should I store this pouch to keep it in good condition? A: Do not over‑fill the pouch, and when not in use, store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag in a cool, ventilated place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat and minimise contact with highly pigmented materials to reduce the risk of colour transfer.
Q: Are any extras like a dust bag or box included? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section. This listing shows no additional items included; if a dust bag or box is not stated there, it is not part of the sale.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is examined by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: Where would the date code be, and what if there isn’t one? A: Many vintage Louis Vuitton pieces feature a heat‑stamped date code inside; with age, it can fade or be hard to spot. Louis Vuitton began phasing out physical date codes in 2021 in favour of embedded microchips on newer items, so the absence of a code is not a sign of inauthenticity. For this vintage pouch, our authentication is based on the full set of craftsmanship indicators rather than a date code alone.
Q: What is the exact condition of this piece? A: It is in Very Good condition overall, showing light signs of use. The lining has light scratches and a small stain, and the hardware is shiny with light surface marks. Please review the photos and product information for the full condition notes.
