Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Vernis Papillon Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 15 × 13 cm, this bag is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, card holder or small wallet, keys, sunglasses, and a few cosmetics. Its cylindrical shape offers useful depth, but bulkier items will reduce usable space quickly. Please refer to the Measurements in the product information for exact sizing.
Q: Can this Papillon 30 be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes, this style is generally designed as a short-strap shoulder bag. On this item, the strap drop is approximately 15 cm, so the fit will usually be close under the arm and may feel better over lighter clothing. Please check the Measurements in the product information to judge how it will sit on you personally.
Q: What does Papillon 30 mean? A: Papillon is Louis Vuitton’s iconic barrel-shaped bag design, and the 30 typically refers to the size category based on its approximate length. This version is a practical mid-size option within the Papillon family and is often chosen for everyday use rather than evening-only wear.
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.

This version is a practical mid-size option within the Papillon family and is often chosen for everyday use rather than evening-only wear.
Q: How should Vernis leather be cared for? A: Vernis is a glossy embossed leather that should be handled gently. It is best kept away from dark denim, magazines, coloured leather, excess moisture, direct heat, and prolonged sunlight. For day-to-day care, wipe it softly with a clean dry or slightly damp cloth and store it in a cool, dry place away from pressure that could mark the finish.
Q: Is discoloration common with Vernis leather? A: Yes, Vernis is known to be more delicate than many other Louis Vuitton materials and can develop discolouration, colour transfer, fading, or yellowing over time, especially in lighter shades. For this specific bag, discoloration is already noted in the product information and should be considered part of its present vintage condition.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This item is listed in good condition. The exterior shows discoloration and minor creasing, the interior has peeling, and the hardware is shiny with light scratches. As with all vintage pieces, signs of age and use are part of the character of the bag, so we recommend reviewing all product images carefully alongside the condition notes.
Q: Does this bag come with any extras? A: No. The product information states that this item comes with no accessories. If you are looking for any included extras, please rely on the product information as the authoritative reference for what is included with this piece.
Q: Does Louis Vuitton use a serial number on bags like this? A: Louis Vuitton bags are typically associated with date codes rather than unique serial numbers. However, no serial number or code is provided in the product information for this specific item. If you would like more detail, A Retro Tale can usually advise further based on the exact piece.
Q: How do you authenticate a vintage Louis Vuitton bag? A: Authentication should never rely on just one feature. A proper review considers the overall construction, materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, shape, and any production coding that may be present. A Retro Tale specialises in authentic luxury vintage pieces and vets items before sale.
Q: Where was this bag made? A: According to the product information, this bag was made in France.
