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 can I fit in this weekend bag? A: With approximate measurements of 55 × 30 × 25 cm, it comfortably holds a few changes of clothes, trainers, a toiletry bag, travel documents and larger essentials. A 16-inch laptop in a protective sleeve fits easily along with chargers and small organisers. Soft sides help the bag flex to your packing style.
Q: Is it cabin/hand‑luggage compliant for flights? A: Many airlines use guidance around 56 × 45 × 25 cm, while several European carriers use about 55 × 40 × 20–23 cm. At 55 cm in length this bag usually fits overhead bins, but the 25 cm depth may need softer packing. Airline rules vary, so please check your specific carrier before travelling.
Q: Is the shoulder strap detachable and comfortable to use? A: Yes. This model features dual top handles and a detachable shoulder strap so you can carry it by hand or on the shoulder. The strap is adjustable for a comfortable drop and the lightweight nylon keeps the carry pleasant even when full.
Q: Is the Damier Aventure nylon water‑resistant? A: The nylon is durable and offers light water resistance for everyday use, but the bag is not fully waterproof and the zip/seams are not sealed. Wipe dry after light rain and avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or soaked surfaces.
Q: Does it have internal or external pockets? A: Inside, there is a practical zipped pocket for small essentials. Depending on the production run, some versions also feature exterior slip or Velcro‑closure pockets; please refer to our photos for the exact pocket layout of this piece.
Q: Is it foldable/packable for storage? A: Yes. The Aventure Practical is designed to fold into itself for compact storage, commonly utilising the interior pocket to create a neat pouch. Fold gently without sharp creases and store in a breathable dust bag.
Q: When was the Damier Aventure line released? A: The Damier Aventure nylon travel line debuted around 2011 and continued into the early 2010s, aligning with season collections focused on lightweight, packable travel designs.
Q: Does this bag have a date code, and where would I find it? A: Pieces from this era typically include a date code stamped on a small interior leather tab or directly on the lining. The code combines two letters (factory/country) and four numbers (week and year). Note that date codes are not unique serial numbers nor proof of authenticity. Location and legibility can vary with age and use.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this piece, the product information notes a dust bag and a brand booklet. If you need clarification, just ask and we’ll confirm what’s in the box.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton still service or repair this model? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton offers repair services in‑store and via online request, subject to assessment and fees. Typical lead times can be several weeks. We recommend contacting Louis Vuitton Client Services or your local boutique for current options and quotes.
