Very Good Condition
An elegant choice for city breaks and weekend lunches, this vintage Louis Vuitton Damier Croisette in Damier Ebene with brown leather trim and gold-tone accents moves effortlessly from day to evening. Carry by the top handle or use the detachable shoulder strap; the secure S-lock flap and red textile lining keep essentials organised in style.
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: It comfortably holds a large smartphone (up to 6.7 inches), a compact or long wallet, keys, slim sunglasses and a few small essentials. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: The leather strap is removable but not adjustable. The drop is approximately 56 cm, allowing both shoulder and crossbody wear for most heights.
Q: Does this model have exterior pockets? A: No. The Croisette has a flap top with an S-lock and an interior flat pocket; there is no exterior pocket on this style.
Q: Is the leather tassel removable? A: Yes, the tassel is removable, so you can switch between a playful or cleaner look as you prefer.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The flap fastens with Louis Vuitton’s signature S-lock, which keeps the main compartment securely closed for daily use.
Q: What does the date code TR4116 mean? A: TR indicates production in France. The numbers show the 41st week of 2016. Note that Louis Vuitton began phasing in microchips around 2021, so date codes help identify production details but are not sole proof of authenticity.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi-point checks by our in-house experts, including materials, stitching, hardware engravings, stamps, and the date code or microchip. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional photos or details on request.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece includes a detachable shoulder strap. Everything included is listed in the product information section; items like a dust bag or box are included only if specifically stated there.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene canvas and the leather trim? A: Wipe gently with a soft, light-coloured cloth. Avoid overfilling and keep away from water, oils, cosmetics, alcohol-based solutions and materials that may transfer colour. Store in a breathable dust bag away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: What is the condition of this item? A: Very Good overall with light traces of use. The interior is Very Good, and the hardware remains shiny with some scratches consistent with gentle wear.
