Q: What is Epi leather, and is it durable?
A: Epi leather is Louis Vuitton’s signature textured leather, known for its structured feel and good resistance to scratches and everyday wear. It is a popular choice for vintage pieces because it tends to hold its shape well over time.

A: This piece includes a key and a dustbag. Everything included with the item is listed in the product information.

Q: What does the date code VI 1929 mean?
A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this era indicate the place and time of manufacture rather than acting as a unique serial number. VI indicates production in France, and 1929 corresponds to December 1999.

Q: What condition is this bag in?
A: This item is listed in Very Good Condition with light traces of use. The exterior and interior are both noted as very good, and the hardware is described as shiny with light scratches.

Q: How should I care for vintage Epi leather?
A: Wipe it gently with a soft, lightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals, oils, solvents, and heavy leather treatments. For storage, keep it away from direct heat, strong sunlight, and humidity, and store it in its dustbag when not in use.

Q: Is a date code enough to confirm authenticity?
A: No. A date code is helpful for indicating when and where a Louis Vuitton item was made, but it is not a unique serial number and should not be relied on by itself for authentication. Authenticity should always be assessed through the overall construction, materials, hardware, stamps, and craftsmanship.
