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 is this bag and which collection is it from? A: It is the Louis Vuitton Cluny Mini in Epi leather from the LV x Yayoi Kusama collaboration, featuring the artist’s signature red Infinity Dots on white Epi. This particular piece includes a decorative pumpkin-themed bag charm, echoing Kusama’s iconic motif.
Q: What are the dimensions and how can I wear it? A: The bag measures approximately 20 × 16 × 7 cm. It has a single top handle for hand or crook-of-arm carry and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap (about 100 cm length) for shoulder or crossbody wear.
Q: What typically fits inside the Cluny Mini? A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact or cardholder, small wallet, keys, and a few cosmetics fit comfortably. Sunglasses fit best in a slim soft case. Larger items like an A5 notebook, a water bottle, or a long continental wallet are generally not recommended due to the compact depth.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The Cluny Mini has a structured body with a magnetic flap closure. The firm construction and flap help keep contents secure while allowing quick access.
Q: Is Epi leather durable and weather-resistant? A: Epi is a grained, dyed-through leather known for its structure, scratch resistance, and good water resistance for everyday use. Light rain or splashes can be wiped away, but prolonged exposure to moisture should still be avoided.
Q: How should I care for white Epi leather with the red dot print? A: Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed; avoid harsh chemicals and colour transfer from dark denim or freshly dyed fabrics. Store lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat, to preserve the leather and printed motif.
Q: Does this bag have a date code or microchip? A: Many recent Louis Vuitton pieces (including 2023 collaboration items) no longer have a visible date code and instead feature an embedded NFC microchip for internal authentication. As a pre-owned retailer, we authenticate this item through multi‑point expert checks of materials, construction, and markings.
Q: Is the LV x Yayoi Kusama Cluny Mini a limited release? A: Yes. The 2023 LV x Yayoi Kusama collection was produced for a limited time and released in waves, making pieces from the capsule sought after on the resale market.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing includes a detachable shoulder strap and a bag charm. Any other accessories (such as a dust bag or box) would be explicitly mentioned if included.
