Ideal for daily use, travel days and weekend outings, this camel Vachetta Louis Vuitton shoulder strap brings a vintage, gold‑tone finish to your favourite bag and ensures comfortable, hands‑free wear.
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: Is this Louis Vuitton strap compatible with my bag? A: The strap has lobster clasp ends that are designed to clip onto D‑rings. It will fit most Louis Vuitton bags that have side rings for a strap. For non‑LV bags, please check that your bag has suitably sized rings for the clasps and that the weight of the bag is appropriate for a slim leather strap.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and what are the measurements? A: This piece is a fixed length of approximately 119 cm and 1.5 cm wide. It is not adjustable. Depending on your height and how you wear it, it can work as a shoulder strap or as a crossbody strap.
Q: Where will the bag sit when worn crossbody with a 119 cm strap? A: As a general guide, crossbody straps in the 110–120 cm range tend to sit around the hip on heights of roughly 160–175 cm. If you are more petite, the bag may sit lower; if you are taller, it may sit a little higher. Individual fit varies by bag size and where the D‑rings are positioned.
Q: What material is this and how will it age? A: It is natural cowhide vachetta leather with gold‑tone hardware. Vachetta is untreated, so it develops a honey patina with use and is sensitive to water, oils and prolonged sunlight. This natural ageing is part of its character.
Q: How should I care for vachetta leather straps? A: Keep the leather dry and handle with clean hands. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after use, and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid rain and contact with cosmetics or hand sanitiser. If the leather gets wet, blot (do not rub) with a soft cloth and allow it to dry naturally away from heat. Avoid harsh cleaners; if you choose to use a specialised leather product, test on a discreet area first.
Q: What condition is this item in? A: Very Good overall. There are some stains on the leather consistent with normal wear, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. Please refer to the photos for close‑ups.
Q: Are any additional items included? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. If you do not see an item (such as a dust bag) listed there, it is not included.
Q: Does this strap have a date code or stamp? A: Some straps may not carry a visible date or model code. Regardless of codes, every item at A Retro Tale is authenticated through multi‑point inspection of materials, stitching, stamps and hardware.
Q: Can the length be altered? A: This is a fixed‑length strap and cannot be adjusted. If you need a different drop, consider a different strap length to suit your preferred carry style.
