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 this bag for daily use? A: With approximate measurements of 36 × 32 × 5 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents, a tablet, and most 13-inch laptops in a slim sleeve, plus a long wallet, phone, keys and small cosmetics. To keep the flap sitting neatly, avoid overfilling or using very bulky laptop cases.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. The single adjustable flat strap is designed for versatile wear on the shoulder or crossbody. The strap measurement listed on this page will help you gauge your preferred drop; adjust to suit your frame and styling.
Q: How secure is the magnetic flap closure? A: The flap uses a concealed magnet for quick yet reliable closure in everyday use. For valuables and small items, we recommend placing them in the internal pocket for added security.
Q: How durable is Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas and the vachetta trim? A: Monogram coated canvas is lightweight, hard-wearing and easy to wipe clean. The natural vachetta leather trim is untreated by design; it develops a honey patina over time and can mark with water or oils, which is part of its vintage character. Avoid heavy rain, direct heat and harsh cleaners to preserve the colour and finish.
Q: How should I care for the microfibre (Alcantara) lining? A: For routine care, gently dust with a soft brush or dry cloth. For light marks, use a lightly dampened, clean cloth to blot (not rub) and allow to air dry; once dry, brush gently to restore the nap. Avoid soaking the lining or using strong detergents.
Q: What does the date code AS0969 mean? A: For Louis Vuitton items from the 1990s to mid-2000s, the two letters indicate country and the four digits indicate month and year. AS denotes France; the digits 0 and 6 indicate the month (June) and 9 and 9 indicate the year (1999). So this piece was made in France in June 1999.
Q: Is the Musette/Musette Salsa range still in production? A: No. The Musette family, including the Musette Salsa variants, has been discontinued and is now available only as a pre-owned/vintage style—part of why it is so sought after.
Q: Are there any extras included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton replace or repair the strap or hardware in future? A: Louis Vuitton offers after‑sales repair services and may be able to replace vachetta straps or service hardware for a fee, subject to assessment and parts availability. Turnaround times and costs vary by region; you can request a repair online or in-store via Louis Vuitton’s Care Service.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked by our in‑house experts using a multi‑point process that examines materials, stitching, heat stamps, date codes, hardware and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional information on request.
