Ideal for sunny days—from seaside strolls and poolside lounging to tennis matches and summer city breaks—this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram raffia visor brings effortless warm‑weather polish to casual and holiday looks.
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 size and fit is this visor? A: It is one size with an adjustable Monogram canvas back strap, designed to suit most adult head sizes. Similar Strawgram visors adjust around 57–59 cm; exact fit depends on your strap setting. If you are between sizes, loosen slightly and fine‑tune for comfort.
Q: What materials is it made from? A: Woven raffia featuring the Monogram pattern with vachetta leather trim, an adjustable Monogram coated‑canvas back strap, and gold‑tone hardware. The combination gives a lightweight feel with a distinctive Louis Vuitton look.
Q: Does it have an official UV or UPF rating? A: No official rating is specified. As a visor, it provides shade to the eyes and forehead but does not guarantee certified UV protection. For extended sun exposure, pair it with sunscreen and sunglasses.
Q: Can I wear it at the beach or by the pool? A: Yes for sunny, dry conditions; avoid contact with water, salt, and chlorine. Raffia and vachetta leather are sensitive to moisture, which can cause warping or water spots. If it gets damp, blot gently and air‑dry away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: How should I care for the raffia? A: Keep it dry and dust with a soft brush or cloth. Store in a cool, dry place, away from heavy pressure. To refresh the shape, you may use gentle steam from a safe distance to ease the fibres, then reshape lightly by hand and allow to dry completely—avoid soaking or saturating the raffia.
Q: How do I look after the vachetta leather trim and strap? A: Vachetta is untreated and will develop a natural honey patina over time. Handle with clean, dry hands, avoid rain and oils, and store away from direct heat or strong sunlight. For cleaning, use a soft dry cloth only; for stubborn marks, consult a leather‑care professional rather than using household cleaners.
Q: Is the visor unisex? A: Yes. The clean silhouette and adjustable back strap make it suitable for anyone seeking a lightweight, monogrammed summer visor.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included—please check the product information for full details.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, stamps, and hardware. Depending on production year, some Louis Vuitton pieces feature a date code (earlier) while newer ones may use an embedded microchip; our assessment considers these details alongside overall craftsmanship, and we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
