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 Croissant MM Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 30 x 20 x 6 cm, this is a medium-sized shoulder bag that works well for daily essentials. It will typically fit a phone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, sunglasses, and a few small cosmetic items. Because of its slim crescent shape, it is better suited to essentials than bulkier items such as a tablet, large water bottle, or thicker pouch.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This vintage Croissant MM is generally designed to be worn on the shoulder rather than crossbody. The strap drop for this item is approximately 23 cm, so it should sit comfortably under the arm or on the shoulder depending on your frame and styling preference.
Q: What materials and features does this bag have? A: This piece is made from Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas with leather trim and brass hardware. It has a single adjustable shoulder strap, a red lining, one internal pocket, and a top zip closure. This particular item is also marked as made in Italy.
Q: Why is the Croissant MM such a sought-after style? A: The Croissant MM is loved for its distinctive crescent silhouette, comfortable shoulder fit, and practical everyday size. It is a well-known vintage Louis Vuitton shape that remains especially popular on the pre-owned market thanks to its early-2000s look and easy day-to-evening wear.
Q: What does patina mean, and is it normal on this bag? A: Yes. Patina refers to the natural darkening and ageing of Louis Vuitton’s untreated vachetta leather over time. On this item, the vachetta shows a visible patina, along with a watermark on the strap and scuffing on the trim. These signs are consistent with vintage use and are reflected in the stated very good condition.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and vachetta leather? A: Avoid overfilling the bag, and store it in its dust bag in a ventilated space when not in use. Keep it away from direct heat, prolonged sunlight, oils, perfumes, and harsh cleaning products. If the vachetta gets wet, blot it gently with a soft light-coloured cloth rather than rubbing it. Gentle handling is especially important for vintage pieces with existing patina.
Q: Does this bag have a serial number or date code? A: Louis Vuitton vintage bags typically use date codes rather than serial numbers. No serial number is listed in the product information for this item. It is also worth noting that a date code helps indicate production details, but it should not be relied on by itself as proof of authenticity.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item comes with a dust bag, as listed in the product information. If you would like confirmation of anything included with the bag before purchase, we recommend contacting us directly.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully reviewed for authenticity by specialists who assess details such as materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and overall consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we offer and are happy to provide additional product information on request.
