Ideal for city breaks, country retreats and overnight work trips, this Louis Vuitton Damier Geant Albatross weekend bag brings understated sophistication to every journey, from check-in to dinner reservations, complementing both tailored and casual looks.
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 are the dimensions and what typically fits inside? A: This weekender measures approximately 50 × 30 × 25 cm. It comfortably holds clothing for a 2–3 day trip, trainers, a wash bag, and larger essentials such as a 16-inch laptop, charger and documents. Capacity will vary depending on how you pack.
Q: Is it cabin-baggage compliant? A: At around 50 cm in length, it is often acceptable as cabin baggage with many airlines, but size rules differ by carrier and aircraft. Please check your airline’s current allowance before travelling.
Q: How can this bag be carried? A: It features dual rolled leather top handles and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap (approximate strap drop 40 cm, adjustable). You can carry it by hand, on the shoulder or cross-body for comfort.
Q: What material is Damier Géant and how does it feel? A: Damier Géant is a lightweight nylon jacquard canvas with an enlarged Damier check, paired with leather trim and silver-tone hardware. It has a sturdy yet flexible feel and is designed for durability on the move.
Q: What pockets and closure does it have? A: The Albatros typically includes a full top zip closure, a practical front exterior zip pocket for quick-access items, and internal slip pockets for organisation.
Q: How should I care for the Damier Géant textile and leather trims? A: Wipe the textile gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh or alcohol-based cleaners. Keep leather parts away from water, oils and solvents, and store the bag loosely stuffed in its dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Q: What does the date code SP0057 indicate? A: Louis Vuitton date code SP0057 decodes to France, week 05 of 2007. This aligns with LV’s mid-2000s format where the first and third digits show the week and the second and fourth digits show the year.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Please refer to the product information on this page. For this piece, a dust bag is included.
Q: Is the model name Albatros or Albatross? A: Louis Vuitton’s original model name is Albatros. Some retailers use the English spelling “Albatross”, but both refer to the same Damier Géant weekender design.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts through multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share further details on request.
