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 Dersou Taiga Messenger Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 40 x 30 x 10 cm, this is a roomy messenger style for everyday essentials such as a wallet, phone, charger, notebook, documents and a small water bottle. Based on the dimensions, many tablets and smaller laptops may fit, but we recommend comparing your device to the measurements on this page before purchase.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. This bag has a single adjustable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 49 cm, so it can usually be worn on the shoulder or crossbody depending on your height and preferred fit.
Q: Is the Dersou a good everyday or work bag? A: Yes, the larger messenger silhouette makes it well suited to daily use, commuting and carrying documents or other essentials. The understated Taiga finish also gives it a more discreet look than Louis Vuitton canvas styles with all-over monogram patterns.
Q: What is Taiga leather like? A: Taiga is Louis Vuitton's textured leather line for men, known for a structured look and practical everyday appeal. It is generally considered more resistant to visible scratching than smoother leathers, although vintage pieces can still show creasing, edge wear and surface marks over time.
Q: How should I care for the Taiga leather and canvas? A: Wipe away surface dust with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh cleaners and leather treatments, and keep the bag away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight and excess moisture. When not in use, store it in a dry, breathable place and lightly stuff it to help maintain its shape.
Q: What does the code SP0018 mean? A: Louis Vuitton bags from this era typically use date codes rather than unique serial numbers. In the commonly used Louis Vuitton format, SP indicates France and 0018 corresponds to the 1st week of 2008. A date code helps identify production period, but it should not be used as the only proof of authenticity.
Q: What pockets and closure does this specific bag have? A: This item is described with black canvas lining, one internal zip pocket and a flap closure with dual hook clasps. Please review the photos and product information for the clearest view of the interior layout.
Q: What condition is this vintage bag in? A: It is listed in Very Good Condition overall. The exterior shows scuffing on the edges and scratches on the leather, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches.
Q: Is anything included with the bag? A: No. This item is listed as having no included extras in the product information.
Q: How do you authenticate a pre-owned Louis Vuitton bag like this? A: Authentication should consider the full bag rather than the date code alone, including leather quality, construction, stamping, hardware, lining and overall consistency. At A Retro Tale, all items are authenticated before sale, and the date code is only one part of that process.
