Perfect for travel days, city strolls and nights out, this Louis Vuitton x Virgil Abloh coin purse keeps small essentials at hand while adding a bold, modern accent to any outfit.
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 coin purse? A: With approximate internal dimensions of 11 × 7 × 0.5 cm, it comfortably holds coins, folded notes, several cards (around 4–6 depending on embossing), a key fob, and compact earbuds such as AirPods. Capacity depends on how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Is the orange chain removable? A: No. This piece features an attached orange resin chain. It functions as a short handle (approx. 19 cm) and for clipping or securing the purse to bag hardware or a belt loop.
Q: How can I carry or use it day to day? A: Use it as a mini wallet inside a larger bag, clip it to a D‑ring or belt loop for quick access, or carry it by the chain as a small grab‑and‑go pouch. The zip‑top closure keeps cards, coins and small items secure when on the move.
Q: What materials is it made from and how durable is it? A: It is crafted in Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas with a black leather lining, black‑tone hardware and a lightweight orange resin chain. Coated canvas is known for being hard‑wearing and easy to wipe clean, making it ideal for daily use.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas and chain? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry gently. Avoid alcohol‑based products, oils, harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbing. Keep the resin chain away from high heat and strong solvents to prevent warping or dulling. Store the purse in a cool, dry place and avoid over‑stuffing to maintain its shape.
Q: Does this item have a date code? A: Some recent Louis Vuitton pieces use an embedded microchip rather than a visible date code (a change introduced around 2021). Earlier items feature a stamped date code. If a code is not listed in the product information, this piece may be microchipped or the code may be difficult to access; we are happy to check for you on request.
Q: What is special about the orange chain on Virgil Abloh designs? A: Orange chain accents became a hallmark of Virgil Abloh’s early collections at Louis Vuitton, adding a bold, street‑influenced touch to classic Monogram pieces. It provides a distinctive pop of colour and a modern look.
Q: Is this coin purse unisex? A: Yes. Although introduced within the men’s line, the size and styling are versatile and suit any wardrobe.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing includes the box. Everything that comes with the piece is detailed in the product information section; if an item such as a dust bag isn’t listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, brand stamps and date codes/microchips. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can provide additional photos or information on request.
