Very Good Condition
Perfect for city strolls, festivals or travel days, this Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Melville bum bag offers hands-free ease with polished LV style. Ideal for sightseeing, concerts and weekend errands, it keeps essentials close and secure while complementing casual and smart-casual looks.
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 Melville Bum Bag? A: It comfortably holds a large smartphone, a compact wallet or cardholder, passport, keys, and a few small essentials. Actual capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the waist? A: Yes. The adjustable textile strap allows you to wear it at the waist, crossbody across the chest, or on the shoulder. For the best crossbody fit, compare the strap length shown in Measurements with your preferred carry height.
Q: Is Damier Ebene canvas durable and rain-friendly? A: Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas is hard-wearing and can tolerate light rain. Wipe it dry after exposure and avoid soaking. Do not use perfume, leather lotions, cleaners or chemicals on the canvas.
Q: How should I clean and care for this bag? A: For the coated canvas, wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water if needed, then dry with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, perfumes or leather lotions. Store the bag loosely stuffed to maintain shape, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
Q: How many pockets does this piece have? A: This item has a zipped main compartment and one external zipped pocket, as shown in the photos. Some past Melville runs featured additional zipped pockets; please rely on the photos and Measurements of this specific piece.
Q: Will a modern smartphone fit? A: Yes, the Melville easily fits most large smartphones along with other daily essentials. If you use an oversized case or add-ons, please compare with the Measurements provided.
Q: Is the strap removable? A: No. The Melville typically features a fixed, non-removable textile strap that adjusts for length.
Q: Does this listing include a dust bag or box? A: This piece is listed with no additional items. Everything included is detailed in the product information on this page.
Q: What does the date code VI1006 mean? A: It indicates production in France in October 2006, using the pre-2007 format where the first and third digits represent the month and the second and fourth digits represent the year.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every item is vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and production codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
