Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Damier Recoleta Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 26 x 13 x 7 cm, the Recoleta is best suited to everyday essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses, a card holder and a few small beauty items. Its slim baguette-style shape is ideal for light daily use rather than larger items. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this item.
Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. The Recoleta is designed as a compact shoulder bag with a short strap that sits close under the arm in a classic early-2000s baguette style. This example has an approximate strap drop of 20 cm, though the fit can vary depending on body shape and what you are wearing.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or removable? A: No. This style is designed with a fixed leather shoulder strap, so it is intended to be carried as a short shoulder bag rather than as a crossbody.
Q: What materials and details does this bag have? A: This piece is crafted in Damier Ebene coated canvas with brown leather trim and brass hardware. It features a red microfibre lining, one internal pocket and a magnetic flap closure.
Q: What does the date code FL0082 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this period indicate the place and date of manufacture. FL denotes production in France, and 0082 corresponds to August 2002. Date codes are useful for understanding when and where a bag was made, but they are not a serial number and should not be used alone to confirm authenticity.
Q: Is Damier Ebene canvas practical for everyday use? A: Yes. Damier Ebene coated canvas is generally valued for being durable and relatively low-maintenance. Louis Vuitton’s care guidance recommends gentle cleaning with a soft damp cloth and a little soapy water, while avoiding perfume, alcohol-based products, leather lotions and harsh chemicals.
Q: Is the Recoleta a vintage or discontinued model? A: Yes. The Recoleta is a vintage Louis Vuitton style and is no longer part of the current range, which is why it is most often found through trusted resale specialists. Its compact silhouette and classic Damier Ebene finish are part of its lasting appeal.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag includes a dust bag. Everything included with the item is listed under the product information section, so if another item is not mentioned there, it is not included.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This item is described as being in very good condition, with light wear on the corners, light traces of use inside, and shiny hardware with light scratches. As with all vintage bags, small signs of previous use and age are normal.
Q: Is the date code enough to verify authenticity? A: No. A valid date code is only one checkpoint. Materials, stitching, hardware, lining, stamps and overall construction should always be assessed together when evaluating authenticity.
