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 are the dimensions and what fits inside? A: The bag measures approximately 32 × 18 × 10 cm. It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses and a small cosmetics pouch. A4 documents and full‑size laptops do not fit comfortably due to the height and structured opening.
Q: How can this bag be carried? A: It can be carried by hand using the cut‑out vachetta top handles or on the shoulder with the detachable flat strap. The handle drop is about 20 cm and the strap length is about 60 cm, offering an elegant handheld or short‑shoulder carry rather than crossbody.
Q: Is the Roxbury Drive still in production? A: No. The Roxbury Drive was produced in the mid‑2000s and is now discontinued, making it a sought‑after vintage Louis Vuitton style.
Q: What is Monogram Vernis leather and how should I care for it? A: Monogram Vernis is a glossy, patent‑finish calf leather embossed with the LV monogram. To care for it, keep it away from materials that may transfer colour (like dark denim, magazines and other leathers) and avoid prolonged sunlight to reduce fading or yellowing, especially on light colours. For surface dirt, gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Store the bag stuffed and in a breathable dust bag when not in use.
Q: Will the vachetta leather darken or mark over time? A: Yes. The natural, vegetable‑tanned vachetta trim is untreated and will develop a honey‑toned patina with use. It is sensitive to water and oils, which can cause watermarks or darkening, so avoid rain and contact with lotions, perfumes or sanitisers and blot any moisture promptly with a clean, light‑coloured cloth.
Q: What is the closure and interior layout? A: The Roxbury Drive has an open top secured by press‑studs and a fabric‑lined interior with a slip pocket for small items.
Q: Does this item come with any extras? A: This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap. Everything included with the item is listed in the product information section; if an item such as a dust bag is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable or suitable for crossbody wear? A: The strap on this model is detachable but not adjustable and is designed for short‑shoulder carry rather than crossbody on most frames.
Q: Where is the date code and what does it mean? A: Many Roxbury Drive bags from this era include a date code stamped on a small leather tab inside the bag (placement can vary). Mid‑2000s codes combine two letters for the factory and four digits for week and year. For example, SR1097 would indicate France, week 19 of 2007. If you would like us to check for a code on this specific piece, please contact us.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamping and date codes where present. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional product information on request.
