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 Louis Vuitton Monogram Shine Shawl? A: It is Louis Vuitton’s large square jacquard shawl featuring the all‑over Monogram with a subtle, luminous sheen and softly fringed edges. This pre‑owned piece is silver in colour, made in Italy, and described in good condition with a light trace of use.
Q: What are the dimensions of this shawl? A: The shawl measures approximately 142 x 142 cm. Louis Vuitton’s Monogram/Monogram Shine shawls are typically around 54–56 inches (about 140–142 cm) square.
Q: What is the fabric composition of the “Shine” version? A: Composition varies by collection and colourway. Many Shine shawls are a silk‑and‑wool blend; some editions include viscose and/or metallic fibres to achieve the shimmer. Examples found across seasons include 60% silk/40% wool and 47% silk/26% viscose/17% wool/10% polyester or metal fibres. Please refer to the care/content label in our photos for the exact makeup of this piece.
Q: Is the Monogram Shine shawl delicate? Will it snag or pill? A: Yes, the fine jacquard weave and blended fibres can be prone to snags and light pilling with wear. Minimise friction from zips, Velcro, jewellery and rough fabrics. If pilling occurs, remove gently with a cashmere/wool comb or a light de‑pilling tool used carefully; avoid cutting loops or pulling at snags.
Q: How should I clean and maintain it? A: Always follow the care label. Most LV shawls specify dry clean only. Many owners air or steam their shawls between wears and reserve professional dry cleaning for deeper refreshes. Store folded or loosely rolled in a dry place, avoid prolonged sunlight, moisture and perfume, and keep it away from rough surfaces to preserve the sheen and fringe.
Q: Is it warm and can I wear it year‑round? A: The silk‑wool blend offers warmth without heavy bulk, making it cosy for autumn/winter and ideal as a light wrap on cool spring or summer evenings.
Q: How can I style a 142 cm shawl? A: Fold into a triangle and drape around the neck, wrap over the shoulders as an evening cover‑up, belt it over a coat, or wear it loosely looped for a relaxed look. Its generous size allows many tying methods from casual to dressy.
Q: Does this listing include a box or dust bag? A: No. This item is listed with no accessories. What you see in our photos and description is what’s included.
Q: Does it have a date code or microchip for authentication? A: Louis Vuitton scarves and stoles do not carry date codes, and microchips are generally associated with the brand’s leather goods. Authenticity on textiles is assessed by weave quality, labels, motifs and finishing. A Retro Tale conducts rigorous multi‑point authentication on every item we sell.
