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 the Malletage design on this bracelet? A: Malletage is the criss‑cross, diamond pattern inspired by the quilted lining of Louis Vuitton’s historic travel trunks. The House revived this heritage motif in modern accessories like this wide metal bangle for a graphic, trunk‑inspired look.
Q: What is the bracelet made of? A: Louis Vuitton fashion jewellery bracelets are typically made from a metal base with gold‑ and/or silver‑colour finishes. This vintage piece features both silver‑ and gold‑tone metal with an engraved LV detail, giving a mixed‑metal look that pairs easily with other jewellery.
Q: Is the bracelet adjustable or resizable? A: No. It is a slip‑on bangle and cannot be resized. This piece best suits wrists up to 16 cm in circumference, as noted on this page. If you are unsure, measure around the widest part of your hand (over the knuckles with thumb tucked) to ensure the bangle will slide on comfortably; if between sizes, choose the larger opening.
Q: How wide is it and how does it feel on the wrist? A: The bracelet is approximately 4 cm wide with a slim profile around 0.3 cm thick. The wide, cuff‑style silhouette gives a bold look and sits close to the wrist for comfortable stacking with slimmer pieces or a watch.
Q: Will the finish tarnish or fade over time? A: Plated finishes on fashion jewellery can show wear or dulling with regular contact with moisture, lotions, perfume, or abrasion. With sensible care (see below), the finish should stay bright longer; light surface marks are normal on vintage pieces and noted in the condition.
Q: How should I care for this bracelet? A: Wipe after wear with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth. Avoid water, fragrance, lotions, and household chemicals. Remove before showering, swimming, or workouts, and store separately in a soft pouch to minimise friction. Do not use abrasive polishes; for a gentle refresh, use a barely damp cloth and dry immediately.
Q: Is it comfortable to put on and take off? A: Yes—there is no clasp to manage. As a slip‑on cuff it slides over the hand; ensuring your hand measurement suits the opening will make on/off easy. The smooth interior and rounded edges are designed for comfortable daily wear.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This item is sold as shown with no accessories. Any inclusions would be listed under Accessories on this page.
Q: Where was it made and how is authenticity assured? A: This bracelet is stamped Italy. Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, markings, and construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: Is it unisex and can I stack it with other pieces? A: The clean, mixed‑metal design works beautifully for any gender and is ideal for stacking—pair it with slimmer bangles, chain bracelets, or a watch to create contrast with the wide Malletage cuff.
