In very good condition, its structured top-handle silhouette transitions effortlessly from day to night, elevating tailored separates and weekend denim alike.
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 the Trouville? A: The bag measures approximately 28 × 21 × 11 cm with a handle drop of about 8 cm. It comfortably carries daily essentials such as a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and an A5 diary. Compact tablets or e-readers of similar size can fit depending on the case. Capacity will vary with how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Does this Murakami Trouville come with a shoulder strap? A: The Trouville is designed as a structured top‑handle handbag and is typically carried by the rolled leather handles. It was not originally designed with external strap rings, and this listing does not include a strap. Some owners use third‑party straps attached to handle hardware, but we do not recommend this as it can stress the bag over time.
Q: Is the Multicolore line still produced, and is this piece considered collectible? A: Louis Vuitton discontinued the Murakami Monogram Multicolore line in 2015, and well‑kept pieces have become sought‑after by collectors. This collaboration debuted in 2003 and is recognised for its vibrant, artist‑designed print.
Q: What does the date code MI0045 indicate on this bag? A: MI denotes a French factory. For the 1990–2006 format, the first and third digits show the month and the second and fourth digits show the year. MI0045 decodes to April 2005, made in France. Note that a date code alone does not authenticate a bag; it only indicates production timing and location.
Q: How should I care for the Multicolore printed canvas? A: Coated canvas is durable, but printed designs and light colours can show wear with abrasion and colour transfer from dark textiles. Avoid prolonged rubbing against denim or other highly pigmented fabrics, wipe the canvas with a soft slightly damp cloth, and avoid harsh cleaners or alcohol‑based products.
Q: How should I care for the vachetta leather handles and trim? A: Vachetta is untreated, so it will develop a natural patina and is sensitive to water and oils. Keep it away from rain and moisture to prevent watermarks, handle with clean hands, and store the bag stuffed in its dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use only gentle, vachetta‑appropriate care if needed; avoid heavy conditioning or colour‑altering products.
Q: What pockets and lining does the Trouville have? A: The Trouville features one exterior slip pocket for quick‑access items and a microfibre (Alcantara) lined interior with slip pockets to organise small essentials.
Q: Is the canvas water‑resistant? A: Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas offers good resistance to light rain and splashes, but the vachetta leather is absorbent. If caught in the rain, gently blot the leather dry with a soft cloth and allow the bag to air dry away from heat sources.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This listing includes the box and dust bag, as noted in the product information on this page. Everything supplied is listed there—if an item is not listed, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously examined by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks across materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps, and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional photos or details on request.
