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 Louis Vuitton Flap Card Holder? A: Thanks to its compact size (approx. 10.5 × 8 × 1.5–2 cm), it comfortably holds about 8–12 standard business cards or roughly 4–6 plastic credit/debit cards once the compartments have softened with use. You can also slip a few folded notes or receipts inside. It is not designed for coins.
Q: Will my driving licence or travel card fit? A: Yes—most modern licences and travel passes are the same size as a standard bank card, so they fit easily. Oversized paper licences would need to be folded or stored elsewhere.
Q: Does this card holder have RFID protection? A: Louis Vuitton does not generally market its classic card holders as RFID‑shielded. Newer LV items may contain an internal microchip for product identification, which is unrelated to protecting your payment cards. If RFID blocking is important to you, consider using a separate RFID card or sleeve inside the holder.
Q: What does the date code CA1012 mean on this piece? A: CA indicates a Spanish workshop. The four digits use the pre‑2007 LV format where the 1st and 3rd digits show the month and the 2nd and 4th show the year. “1012” decodes to November 2002, made in Spain.
Q: Is “Made in Spain” normal for Louis Vuitton small leather goods? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton produces items in several countries, including France, Spain, Italy, and the United States. Country of manufacture does not affect quality or authenticity.
Q: What are the materials and how should I care for them? A: The Monogram exterior is a coated canvas; the interior is cross‑grain leather. Wipe canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid alcohol‑based products (including hand sanitiser), oils, and harsh cleaners. Store away from heat and direct sunlight, and avoid overfilling to preserve the shape and edge glazing.
Q: Can the canvas crack, and will Louis Vuitton repair it if it does? A: The coated canvas is durable but can develop cracks over many years if it is overstuffed, repeatedly bent, or stored in very dry/hot conditions. LV boutiques typically do not repair cracked canvas, though they may service edge glazing or interior components. Prevention—sensible packing and proper storage—is best.
Q: What type of closure does it have? A: A simple flap closure for quick, secure access. There is no zip compartment on this style.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing is delivered without accessories. Everything included is stated in the Accessories section on this page; if an item such as a box or dust bag isn’t listed, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this piece? A: Every item is examined by our in‑house specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
