Ideal for city breaks and long-haul flights, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram passport holder adds timeless polish to your travel ensemble. In very good condition, it keeps documents close at hand from check-in to arrival.
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: Will a UK, EU or US passport fit in this holder? A: Yes. It is designed for standard biometric passports that measure around 125 × 88 mm (B7 format), which covers UK, most EU and US passports. If your passport has a plastic sleeve, it may add bulk—most travellers insert only the back cover into the holder for easy removal when needed.
Q: How many cards and compartments does the Louis Vuitton Passport Cover typically have? A: Louis Vuitton’s Monogram Passport Cover generally features four card slots and two inner slip pockets (“flying” pockets) for your passport and travel documents. Layouts can vary slightly by production year; please refer to our photos for the exact interior of this vintage piece.
Q: Do I need to remove my passport from the holder at airport eGates or border control? A: Many airports advise removing passports from covers so scanners can read the machine‑readable zone and chip reliably. For the quickest experience, have your passport ready and remove it from any holder when approaching eGates or an officer.
Q: Can I use this as a wallet day‑to‑day? A: It works well as a minimalist travel wallet for a few cards and folded banknotes. Larger notes (for example, £20 or €50) will not lie flat in most passport covers and should be folded. There is no coin compartment, so we recommend a separate purse if you carry coins.
Q: Is the Monogram coated canvas durable and water‑resistant? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas is known for its durability and light water resistance. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol‑based cleaners (including hand sanitiser), oils, and abrasive scrubbing, which can damage the coating over time.
Q: How should I care for this vintage passport holder? A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth and dry immediately. Keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight or heat, and do not overstuff the pockets. Store it in a breathable dust bag when not in use to help retain shape and minimise corner wear.
Q: Does this passport holder block RFID signals? A: It is not designed as RFID‑blocking. Modern ePassports and most payment cards use encrypted chips; skimming risk is generally low. If you prefer extra peace of mind, use an RFID sleeve inside the holder.
Q: Will it hold two passports? A: It is intended for one passport. You can temporarily slip a second booklet into a pocket, but prolonged overfilling may stress seams and cause unnecessary wear—best used with a single passport.
Q: What is included with this item, and is it authentic? A: This listing includes the passport holder only (no accessories), as stated under Accessories. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware and brand markings. Note that Louis Vuitton introduced microchips in newer items (replacing date codes from March 2021), while older vintage pieces may have traditional date codes.
Q: What are the measurements of this specific piece? A: Approx. 14 × 10 × 1 cm. Capacity depends on how you pack; please review the images to gauge fit for your passport and cards.
