Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside this Poche Plate? A: With approximate measurements of 35 × 25 × 0.5 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents, a slim notebook, a phone, a compact wallet and keys. Most 11-inch tablets fit; a 12.9-inch tablet may fit without a case but will be snug. It is not designed for bulky items or a laptop.
Q: Does it come with a strap or have rings to attach one? A: No. This vintage envelope clutch is designed to be handheld and does not have D-rings for a strap. Third‑party inserts with rings do exist, but any modification is at the owner’s discretion and may affect wear over time.
Q: What does the date code 873AN mean? A: Late‑1980s Louis Vuitton codes with three or four numbers followed by two letters indicate the production date and factory. 87 denotes 1987 and 3 denotes March; AN indicates a French workshop. Date codes are batch identifiers rather than unique serial numbers and are only one element of authentication.
Q: Where can I find the date code on this model? A: On clutches and small leather goods the code is usually stamped along an interior seam or on a small leather tab tucked into a pocket or under the flap. Codes can fade with age and may be hard to read.
Q: Is the Monogram material leather? A: The exterior is Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim. Coated canvas is durable and generally water‑resistant; Vachetta is untreated and will develop a honey patina with use and exposure.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and the Vachetta trim? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed, then dry. Keep Vachetta away from water, oils and hand sanitiser; clean gently with a dedicated leather care product and avoid harsh chemicals. Store the clutch loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap closes with a tuck/push‑lock in gold‑tone metal. It is secure for daily use provided the clutch is not overfilled; avoid forcing the lock against bulky contents to protect the hardware and flap.
Q: Will dye transfer or rain damage it? A: The coated canvas resists light rain and is less prone to dye transfer than many leathers, but the untreated Vachetta trim is sensitive to moisture and may stain or darken. If it gets wet, blot dry promptly and allow it to air dry away from heat.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Everything included is listed under Accessories for this item. A Retro Tale authenticates every piece via multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes, and we stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
