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: Will this strap fit my bag? A: This strap measures approximately 120 cm in length and 2 cm in width, and it attaches with lobster clasps. It is best suited to bags with two compatible side rings or anchors and enough room for a 2 cm strap. Because fit is not universal, we recommend comparing these measurements with your current strap or bag before purchasing.
Q: Is the strap adjustable? A: No adjustment is noted in the product information, so it should be treated as a fixed-length strap of approximately 120 cm.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody? A: For many people, a 120 cm strap sits within the crossbody range, but the final drop depends on your height, the size of the bag, and where the attachment points sit. Comparing it with a strap you already wear comfortably is the best guide.
Q: What does VVN mean on a Louis Vuitton strap? A: In Louis Vuitton terminology, VVN refers to natural cowhide leather. This type of leather is known for developing a patina over time, so a vintage strap may continue to deepen in colour with use and exposure.
Q: Will the leather colour exactly match my bag? A: Not always. Natural cowhide can vary from piece to piece, and older Louis Vuitton leather often ages differently depending on wear, light, and storage. This strap is brown, so some variation in tone compared with your bag’s trim is normal.
Q: Will the leather soften with use? A: Yes, natural Louis Vuitton cowhide typically becomes more supple over time. A vintage strap often already has some softness from prior use, whilst still retaining structure.
Q: How does this strap attach? A: It has brass hardware and lobster clasp fastenings at both ends, so it clips onto bags with suitable rings or anchors. The hardware is described as shiny with light scratches, which is consistent with gentle vintage wear.
Q: What condition is this strap in? A: It is listed in very good condition with light traces of use. The leather shows light wear, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. Please refer to the product information and images for the clearest impression of its current condition.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Louis Vuitton leather strap? A: Keep it away from heavy rain, oils, perfume, hand sanitiser, and harsh leather products. If it gets wet, blot it gently with a soft, light-coloured cloth and let it dry naturally. Store it in a breathable space away from direct heat, and avoid folding it tightly when not in use.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece is listed as having no additional inclusions. Everything included is described in the product information section, so if an item is not listed there, it should not be expected.
