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 the Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Highbury? A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 25 × 11 cm, it comfortably carries everyday essentials such as a large smartphone, a continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, a small cosmetics pouch and an A5 diary. Packing styles vary, so please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody? A: The Highbury has a single adjustable shoulder strap with side buckles. The drop is around 23–25 cm, making it ideal for shoulder carry. It is not designed for crossbody wear and does not feature D‑rings for attaching a long strap.
Q: Is the Highbury a current Louis Vuitton model? A: No. The Highbury is a discontinued, archive style most commonly seen from the mid‑2000s and is now available on the pre‑owned market. Availability is limited to vintage pieces like this one.
Q: What are the compartments and closures? A: The bag has a secure top zip for the main compartment and a front pocket concealed under a flap with a buckle. Inside, there is a zip pocket and a slip pocket for small items.
Q: What materials and colourway does this bag feature? A: It is crafted from Damier Ebene coated canvas with chocolate brown leather trim, a red microfibre lining and gold‑tone brass hardware—classic, durable materials associated with this line.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or laptop? A: It suits tablets and slim devices up to about 11 inches without a bulky case. Most 13‑inch laptops will not fit comfortably; please compare your device dimensions with the Measurements listed.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene canvas and the microfibre lining? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid alcohol‑based products, oils and harsh cleaners. Store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from heat. For the microfibre lining, gently shake out debris and use a clean lint roller or soft brush; avoid soaking the interior.
Q: What does the date code DU1015 mean? A: DU indicates French manufacture. In the pre‑2007 format, the digits represent month and year; 1015 corresponds to November 2005. Please note that date codes are not unique serial numbers but production stamps.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is shown under the product information section for this listing. For this piece, no additional items are listed beyond the bag itself.
