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 Empreinte Métis Hobo Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 40 x 35 x 12 cm, this is a roomy everyday shoulder bag. It should comfortably hold daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and a notebook or e-reader. For larger items, we recommend comparing them to the measurements listed on this page.
Q: How is this bag designed to be carried? A: This piece features a single flat shoulder strap and is intended to sit neatly on the shoulder. The listed handle drop is approximately 15 cm, giving it a close and easy everyday carry.
Q: What is the front S-lock pocket useful for? A: The front pocket is ideal for smaller essentials you want to reach quickly, such as cards, receipts, or a phone, while the main compartment is better suited to your larger daily items.
Q: What is Monogram Empreinte leather? A: Monogram Empreinte is Louis Vuitton leather embossed with the house monogram pattern. Buyers often choose it for its structured feel, refined finish, and generally durable everyday character compared with more delicate smooth leathers.
Q: How should I care for Empreinte leather? A: Avoid abrasive surfaces, prolonged sunlight, excess heat, moisture, perfume, and oily products. If the surface gets damp or lightly marked, gently dab it with a soft, light-coloured, lint-free cloth and let it dry naturally. When not in use, store it loosely filled in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: What does the date code CA2123 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this period indicate both place and production date. CA points to Spain, and 2123 corresponds to the 22nd week of 2013. Date codes are useful supporting details, but they are not unique serial numbers and should not be relied on alone for authentication.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: The country of origin label states Spain, which is consistent with the date code prefix CA.
Q: What condition is this specific bag in? A: It is listed in Very Good condition. The exterior shows visible scuffing on the corners, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: No additional items are included with this bag. Please rely on the product information and images on this page for exactly what is part of the sale.
Q: How do you authenticate a pre-owned Louis Vuitton bag like this? A: Authentication should never depend on only one detail. A proper review considers the leather, embossing, stitching, hardware, construction, interior details, stamps, and date code together. At A Retro Tale, pre-owned pieces are professionally vetted before listing.
