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 Damier Recoleta Bag? A: With its compact baguette-style shape, this bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, a small wallet or card holder, keys, lipstick and a few compact extras. It is not ideal for bulkier items like a large purse, tablet or water bottle. For the best guide, please refer to the Measurements on this page.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This model is designed as a short shoulder bag rather than a crossbody style. With a strap drop of approximately 21 cm, it typically sits neatly under the arm.
Q: What material is this bag made from? A: This Recoleta is crafted from Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene coated canvas with brown leather trim and brass hardware. It also features a red lining and one internal pocket.
Q: How does the bag close? A: It has a front flap with a magnetic closure, making it easy to open and close while helping to keep everyday essentials secure.
Q: What does the date code FL1002 mean? A: FL1002 is a Louis Vuitton date code rather than a serial number. It indicates that the bag was made in France in October 2002. Date codes are helpful for identifying production details, but they are only one part of a full authenticity assessment.
Q: Is the Recoleta a vintage or discontinued style? A: Yes. The Recoleta is a discontinued Louis Vuitton model from the early 2000s, which adds to its appeal as a vintage pre-owned piece today.
Q: What is included with this item? A: No additional items are included with this piece. If a box, dust bag, receipt or other extras are not listed in the product information on this page, they are not included.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene coated canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the surface gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners, solvents, oils, perfume and prolonged exposure to direct heat or sunlight. When not in use, store the bag in a ventilated area and avoid overfilling it so the shape stays neat.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by in-house experts using a multi-point review of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
