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 Monogram Batignolles Horizontal Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 37 x 24.5 x 13 cm, it is designed as a roomy everyday shoulder bag. It generally fits a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch and other daily essentials with ease. Slim A4 papers and some compact 13-inch laptops may fit depending on sleeve thickness, so we recommend comparing your item to the exact measurements listed on this page.
Q: Is this bag comfortable to carry on the shoulder? A: Yes. The Batignolles Horizontal is known for its shoulder-friendly shape and this piece has dual flat straps with an approximate drop of 25 cm. It is intended for shoulder carry rather than crossbody wear.
Q: Is the Batignolles Horizontal still produced by Louis Vuitton? A: No. This model is widely considered discontinued, which is one reason it remains popular on the vintage market. Its flat, structured tote shape offers a different look from newer Louis Vuitton totes.
Q: What materials and features does this bag have? A: This bag is crafted in Louis Vuitton Monogram coated canvas with Vachetta leather trim and brass hardware. It features dual shoulder straps, a brown canvas lining and one internal zipped pocket.
Q: What does the date code AR1015 mean? A: AR1015 is a Louis Vuitton date code rather than a unique serial number. The AR factory code points to France, and the number format indicates production in November 2005.
Q: Is the patina on the leather normal? A: Yes. Vachetta leather naturally darkens and develops patina over time with exposure and use. On this piece, the visible patina and scuffing on the trim are consistent with a well-kept vintage Louis Vuitton bag and are already reflected in the condition notes.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This item is rated Very Good condition overall. The exterior shows visible patina to the Vachetta leather and scuffing on the trim, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Avoid overfilling it, keep it away from prolonged heat and moisture, and store it in a ventilated space when not in use. The coated canvas can be wiped gently with a soft damp cloth, while the natural leather should be kept away from oils, solvents and home remedies. If the leather gets wet, blot it gently rather than rubbing.
Q: Does this bag come with any extras? A: No. According to the product information for this item, it is sold with no additional inclusions.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by specialists using detailed checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of the items we sell.
