* 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 is the Louis Vuitton Murakami Wapiti Case? A: It’s a compact, zip‑top wristlet pouch from Louis Vuitton’s collaboration with artist Takashi Murakami, featuring the Multicolore monogram print and vachetta leather trim. Details (strap style, hardware tone, interior lining) can vary by production year—please review our photos for the exact features of this piece.
Q: What can it hold and will a smartphone fit? A: It’s designed for small essentials such as cards, keys, coins, lipstick, a compact mirror, and most wireless earbud cases (e.g., AirPods). Modern smartphones generally do not fit—please check the Measurements section to ensure it meets your needs.
Q: What are the typical dimensions? A: Wapiti cases are commonly around 11 x 7 x 4 cm (approximately 4.3 x 2.8 x 1.6 inches), with slight variation possible by model and year. Refer to the Measurements section of this listing for the precise size of this item.
Q: Does it have a wrist strap and is it removable? A: Most Wapiti cases include a vachetta leather wrist strap attached to a clasp/D‑ring. Removability and strap configuration can vary; please check our photos to confirm the details of this specific piece.
Q: What materials is it made from and how should I care for it? A: Typically coated canvas with natural cowhide leather (vachetta) trim and metal hardware. Wipe canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep vachetta away from water, oils and dark dyes (to prevent colour transfer); it will develop a honey‑tone patina over time. Use a neutral leather conditioner sparingly on the leather only. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol‑based cleaners and prolonged sunlight/heat. Store lightly stuffed in a dust bag to help retain shape.
Q: Which colourways exist in the Murakami Multicolore line? A: The Multicolore monogram was produced primarily in Blanc (white) and Noir (black) with colourful LV motifs. Some Wapiti cases also exist in classic Monogram. Please refer to our photos and description to confirm the exact colourway for this piece.
Q: When was the Murakami Multicolore line produced and is the Wapiti still available new? A: The Murakami collaboration launched in 2003, and the Multicolore line was discontinued around 2015. The Wapiti is no longer in current production, making pre‑owned examples desirable for collectors.
Q: Where is the date code and how do you verify authenticity? A: Many vintage LV small leather goods have a date code stamped on a leather tab inside; placement can vary. Note that codes alone are not definitive. A Retro Tale authenticates every item through rigorous multi‑point checks of materials, construction, stamps and hardware.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton repair the zip, glazing or strap if needed? A: Repairs may be possible through LV boutiques or trusted leather specialists, subject to assessment, parts availability and fees. Eligibility varies for vintage items—contact your local LV boutique or a reputable specialist for guidance.
Q: What’s included with this pre‑owned piece? A: Inclusions (e.g., dust bag, box, strap) vary for vintage/second‑hand items. Please see the Accessories section and listing photos for exactly what is included. If an accessory isn’t shown or mentioned, it is not included.
