Ideal for a polished workday or weekend city outings, the Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Uzes offers refined practicality. Carry it to meetings or brunch; dual top handles and exterior flap pockets keep essentials organised, while the classic brown check brings timeless sophistication to any look.
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 Ébène Uzes? A: With approximate measurements of 36 × 30 × 12 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, wireless earbuds, a small cosmetics pouch and an A5 diary. A4 documents (29.7 × 21 cm) fit flat. A 500 ml water bottle can stand upright; we recommend using a small zip pouch to keep loose items organised.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or a 13-inch laptop? A: Slim tablets (e.g., iPad/Air/11-inch Pro) fit easily. A 13-inch laptop typically fits without a bulky sleeve thanks to the 30 cm height and open-top design; however, the hook closure offers moderate security and the interior isn’t padded. For commuting, use a protective sleeve and keep the bag upright. Share your device’s dimensions and we’ll perform a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? Does it come with a strap? A: The Uzes is a shoulder/hand carry tote with dual top handles (approx. 19 cm drop). It isn’t designed for crossbody wear and this listing does not include a shoulder strap. Everything included with this item is listed under “Accessories”; this piece states no accessories.
Q: How secure is the closure and what’s the pocket layout? A: It has an open top with a hook closure for quick access and everyday convenience. Externally, there are two flap pockets for small essentials. Inside, the orange Alcantara lining features two internal pockets (including a zip pocket) to organise valuables. For travel or busy commutes, we suggest keeping the bag upright and using a small zip pouch for extra security.
Q: What does the date code MB0075 mean? A: “MB” denotes production in France. In the 1990–2006 format, the 1st and 3rd digits indicate the month, and the 2nd and 4th digits indicate the year: “0” and “7” = July; “0” and “5” = 2005. So this piece was made in France in July 2005.
Q: Is the Uzes still produced? A: The Uzes is a discontinued/vintage style, generally from the early–mid 2000s. Availability today is through the pre‑loved market; details can vary slightly by year, so please review our photos and description for this exact piece.
Q: How does Damier Ébène perform in rain, and is colour transfer a concern? A: Damier Ébène coated canvas and its dark, treated leather trim are more rain‑friendly than untreated vachetta; light showers are usually fine. Avoid heavy rain and prolonged moisture; blot dry gently if damp. As with most leathers, colour transfer from dark denim/clothing can occur—especially when fabrics are wet—so take care with contact and storage.
Q: How should I care for the canvas, leather and hardware? A: Wipe the canvas and leather trim with a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol‑based wipes and oil‑based conditioners. Keep away from prolonged sunlight and high heat. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; avoid hanging by the handles for long periods. Hardware is polished gold‑tone and may show fine hairline scratches with normal use—minimise abrasion and protect during storage.
Q: How do I care for the Alcantara lining? A: Alcantara (a premium microfibre with a suede‑like feel) can be gently brushed to lift lint and dust. For spot cleaning, use a lightly dampened microfibre cloth with a mild soap solution; blot (don’t rub) and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Avoid saturating the fabric and always test any cleaning method on a discreet area first.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes found, and how do you authenticate? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton bags feature an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” and country of origin) and, for pieces of this era, a date code on a small leather tab or along an interior seam. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts—assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps/date code and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
