Q: What is the Louis Vuitton Conte de Fées Pochette? A: A limited-edition pochette from 2002 created under Marc Jacobs in collaboration with British artist Julie Verhoeven. It is known for its whimsical, mixed‑media appliqués set against a Monogram Mini Lin or satin base and is considered a collectible piece among Louis Vuitton enthusiasts.
Q: What are the materials on this piece? A: This example features Monogram Mini Lin canvas with brown leather trim, silver‑tone hardware, a beige textile lining and a zip top closure. The Conte de Fées line is characterised by playful leather and patent appliqués, and some pieces include pony‑hair details and other textured elements.
Q: How big is it and what typically fits inside? A: The bag measures approximately 22 × 12 × 5 cm with a strap drop of about 18 cm. It comfortably holds a smartphone, small wallet or cardholder, keys and a few small essentials such as a lipstick or compact. It will not fit a tablet or a water bottle.
Q: How can it be worn? A: Designed as a short shoulder pochette or handheld bag. With an approximate 18 cm drop, the strap is not long enough for cross‑body wear. Please review the product photography for strap attachment details.
Q: Is the strap removable or can I add a longer strap? A: This model was intended for short‑shoulder carry. Some pochettes from the era allow strap swaps, but hardware and finish vary by release. If you plan to add a longer strap, ensure compatibility and be mindful that third‑party parts are not supplied; only what is listed in the product information is included.
Q: Does this bag have a date code and where might it be? A: As a 2002 piece, it typically features a two‑letter factory code followed by four numbers in the 1990–2006 format. On pochettes, the code is often on a small leather tab along an interior seam or near the pocket, and it may lighten with age. Our team can help locate and interpret the code on request.
Q: Any special care tips for the mixed materials? A: Keep the bag dry, avoid prolonged sunlight and store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag. For canvas/leather, wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Patent and other dyed leathers can pick up colour transfer from dark fabrics—keep them separate. If your piece has pony‑hair details, avoid abrasion and moisture, and if needed, brush very lightly in the direction of the grain.
Q: Is this bag made in France? A: Yes. The made‑in stamp indicates France for this item.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. For this piece, a dust bag is included. If an item is not listed there, it is not part of the purchase.
Q: What is the condition? A: Very Good overall with light traces of use inside and out, and hardware that remains shiny with light surface scratches. Our in‑house specialists have carefully inspected and graded this piece.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point checks by our experts, including materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
