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 are the dimensions and what typically fits inside? A: This compact hard-sided case measures approximately 22 × 14 × 9 cm. It comfortably holds rings, earrings, pendants, slim bracelets and one small watch in a pouch. Capacity varies by how you arrange items, so we recommend using soft pouches or mini organisers to prevent scratches; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: What is the Boîte à Tour made from? A: It is crafted in Louis Vuitton Monogram coated canvas with brown leather trim and a brown leather-lined interior, finished with brass hardware and an S-lock closure. The single flat top handle makes it easy to carry or display as a trunk-style jewellery case.
Q: Does this piece come with keys or a clochette? A: For this specific item, the Accessories section lists no accessories. Some examples of this model were sold with a clochette and two keys, but if keys are not listed here, they are not included. The S-lock can be used to close the case without locking; only engage the lock if you have the matching keys.
Q: How does the S-lock work and can I use it without the key? A: When unlocked, you open the S-lock by pressing the central mechanism and lifting the hasp; to lock it, insert the key and turn gently until it engages. Never force the lock, and avoid locking the case if you do not have the correct keys to reopen it.
Q: Where will I find the date code and what does it mean? A: On vintage Louis Vuitton pieces like this, the date code is typically stamped on a small leather tab inside the case or directly on the lining. The letters indicate the country of manufacture and the numbers the time period of production. Note that a date code is not a unique serial number and, on modern pieces from 2021 onwards, Louis Vuitton moved to microchipping instead of visible codes; as this is a vintage model, a stamped code is commonly present.
Q: Is the Boîte à Tour still produced by Louis Vuitton? A: No. This is a vintage model that was produced in the 1990s and is no longer part of the current Louis Vuitton assortment. It is now found on the pre-owned market.
Q: I’ve seen this called Boîte à Tour and Boîte à Tout—are they the same? A: You may see both names used by resellers for the same small jewellery box. The reliable way to confirm is by the model code and measurements; the Boîte à Tour/Tout is commonly referenced as M47236 and measures roughly 22 × 14 × 9 cm. Focus on the code, construction and size rather than the spelling in the title.
Q: How should I care for this piece? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry promptly. Keep the leather handle and trim away from water and oils to maintain the natural patina. Store the box in a cool, dry place, loosely filled with acid-free tissue and away from direct sunlight. For light tarnish on brass, use a gentle jewellery cloth while protecting nearby leather and canvas; for heavy tarnish or stuck locks, consult a professional restorer.
Q: Can I travel with it? A: Yes. Its rigid, trunk-like structure offers good protection for jewellery when carried in hand luggage. For travel, place each piece in an individual pouch, avoid overfilling, and keep the case in your carry-on to prevent shocks and temperature extremes.
Q: How do you authenticate this item at A Retro Tale? A: Every item is vetted by our in-house experts through multi-point checks of materials, canvas and leather quality, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes, supported by provenance and comparative research. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
