Effortless for city evenings and smart-casual days, this vintage Louis Vuitton reversible bracelet, Damier Graphite on one side and black leather on the other, adds a refined, discreet signature touch. Slip it on for after-work drinks, gallery openings or weekend dinners to elevate a tee-and-blazer or knit-and-denim look with polished ease.
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 wrist size does LV size 17 fit? A: Size 17 refers to an inner circumference of roughly 17 cm. It generally suits wrists around 15.5–16.5 cm for a standard fit, or up to about 17 cm if you prefer it close to the skin. For best results, measure your wrist snugly and compare to 17 cm, allowing a little ease depending on your preferred fit.
Q: Is this bracelet adjustable? A: No. This model uses a press‑lock clasp and a fixed strap length, so it is not adjustable. Please check your wrist measurement carefully before purchasing.
Q: How does the reversible design work? A: The strap is two‑sided: Damier Graphite coated canvas on one side and smooth black leather on the other. Open the clasp, choose your preferred side, and close until it clicks; you can switch sides at any time to change the look.
Q: What materials is it made from? A: Coated canvas in the Damier Graphite pattern with black leather and silver‑tone hardware. The strap is approximately 1.5 cm wide; the listed size has an inner perimeter of about 17 cm.
Q: Can I wear it in the shower or while swimming? A: We do not recommend it. Coated canvas and leather can tolerate light splashes but prolonged moisture, soaps, chlorine, or salt water may damage finishes or cause warping. If it gets wet, pat dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry away from heat sources.
Q: How should I clean and care for it? A: Wipe the canvas and leather gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol‑based products, leather conditioners on the canvas, or abrasive scrubbing. Store flat in its dust bag, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Q: How secure is the clasp and how do I open it? A: The press‑lock is designed for daily wear. To open, press the release and pull gently; to close, push until you hear/feel a click. As with any clasped jewellery, check it is fully engaged before wear and periodically inspect for play or wear.
Q: Will this bracelet have a date code or a microchip? A: Depending on its production year, it may have a traditional date code stamp or an embedded RFID microchip (Louis Vuitton introduced microchipping and phased out many date codes from 2021 onward). Our team authenticates every item through multi‑point inspection; details can be provided on request.
Q: Is it unisex and good for stacking with a watch or other bracelets? A: Yes—the Damier Graphite palette is designed to be versatile and suits most wardrobes. The 1.5 cm width works well solo or next to a watch. If stacking, avoid hard pieces rubbing directly against the hardware to minimise scratches.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with a dust bag. Everything included is listed under Accessories on this page; if an item is not listed there, it is not included.
