Very Good Condition
Perfect for chic city outings and smart lunches, the Louis Vuitton Damier Croisette adds polished elegance to your ensemble. Its compact silhouette and signature Damier Ebene finish transition seamlessly from daytime errands to evening drinks, making it an ideal companion whenever you want effortless style with a touch of classic LV refinement.
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 Damier Croisette? A: Expect room for a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, AirPods, and small essentials. A passport and slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve usually fit. Continental (long) wallets may fit horizontally but can make the flap snug; small water bottles and tablets generally do not. Please refer to the Measurements on this page (approx. 22 × 17 × 7 cm) or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or a long wallet? A: Mini and 7–8 inch tablets are typically a squeeze due to the structured S‑lock flap and compact depth; we don’t recommend it for regular tablet carry. A continental wallet (around 19 cm) may fit, but it reduces overall capacity and can press against the flap—compare your item’s dimensions with our Measurements, or ask us to test the fit for you.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable or removable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes—the Croisette features a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap for shoulder or crossbody wear, plus a single top handle. We list the drops in the Measurements section; this piece shows approximately a 56 cm strap drop and a 6 cm handle drop. If you’d like advice on how it sits on you, just ask and we’ll help.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: The Croisette uses a structured flap with an S‑lock closure, providing good day‑to‑day security. Inside you’ll find a main compartment and one slip pocket. For commuting or travel, keep the bag upright and consider a small zip pouch for valuables.
Q: What is the interior layout? A: A single main compartment lined in red fabric with one internal slip pocket. Our listing photos show the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have, and where is it made? A: Damier Ébène coated canvas with brown leather trim, gold‑tone hardware, and a red textile lining. This item is stamped Made in France. The photos and description show the precise finish and details of this bag.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ébène canvas, leather trim and hardware? A: Coated canvas is durable—wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or prolonged moisture. Keep leather away from water, oils and intense sunlight; be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid overfilling to preserve the flap alignment. Protect the S‑lock and hardware from rubbing during storage to minimise hairline scratches. Use any leather conditioner sparingly and test on a discreet area first.
Q: Is the tassel removable, and any care tips? A: Yes—the leather tassel is detachable. You can remove it for a cleaner look or to reduce rubbing on the flap. If storing, keep the tassel separate or cushioned to avoid imprinting, and avoid exposure to rain or oils to preserve the leather’s finish.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton bags include an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” and country of origin). Older pieces typically have a date code on a small leather tab or along an interior seam; from around 2021 LV transitioned to an embedded microchip rather than a visible code. Placement and format vary—contact us for close‑up photos and we’ll help interpret the markings for this exact bag.
Q: Is the Croisette still produced? A: The Croisette is an ongoing Louis Vuitton style, though availability, lining and minor details can vary by season and region. The pre‑loved market is ideal for locating specific canvases like Damier Ébène and earlier configurations.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories.” For this piece we note a detachable shoulder strap and a detachable tassel. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date code/microchip. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
