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 this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 38 × 25 × 13 cm, this Batignolles Horizontal works well as a roomy daily tote. It can comfortably hold essentials such as a long wallet, phone, pouch, sunglasses, keys, a water bottle and A4 papers, with space for a slim tablet or compact laptop depending on its dimensions. Please compare your own items with the Measurements on this page for the best guide.
Q: Can this bag be carried comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. The Batignolles Horizontal is designed as a shoulder tote with dual flat straps. On this piece, the strap drop is approximately 24 cm, which generally allows comfortable shoulder carry over light layers.
Q: Does the bag close securely? A: This style typically has an open-top tote shape secured by a central clasp, while the side buckles help adjust the silhouette slightly. It offers easier access than a full zip-top design, but it is not as enclosed as a fully zipped bag.
Q: What kind of interior organisation does it have? A: The Batignolles Horizontal is known for practical interior organisation, typically including a canvas-lined interior with two inner pockets, usually one zipped pocket and one slip pocket for smaller essentials.
Q: Is the patina on the Vachetta leather normal? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton’s natural Vachetta leather is designed to develop a deeper honey-to-amber patina over time. On this vintage bag, the leather already shows a visible patina with minor wear on the handles and trim, which is consistent with age and gentle use.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and leather trim? A: Avoid overfilling the bag, store it in a breathable area when not in use, and keep it away from prolonged heat and direct sunlight. If the leather gets wet, blot it promptly with a soft light-coloured cloth. Avoid solvents, harsh cleaners, oils and home remedies, as these can damage the leather and alter the finish.
Q: What does the date code CA 1088 mean? A: Under Louis Vuitton’s standard date-code system used for this era, CA 1088 is generally read as production in the 18th week of 2008. Date codes help indicate when a bag was made, but they are not unique serial numbers and should never be used as the only proof of authenticity.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This item is listed in Very Good condition. Externally, the Vachetta leather has a visible patina with minor wear on the handles and trim. Internally, there is light trace of use, and the brass hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What product information is included with this bag? A: No additional product information is included with this item. If you would like confirmation before purchasing, you are welcome to contact us for further details.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in-house experts using a multi-point review of materials, construction, stitching, hardware, stamps and date-code details. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
