Perfect for polished weekdays or city weekends, the vintage Louis Vuitton Damier Sistina MM carries everyday essentials with ease. Its Damier Ebene canvas, dual shoulder straps and secure push-lock flap make it a refined choice for lunch dates, office commutes or travel, while the red Alcantara interior keeps belongings organised in timeless LV 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 Sistina MM? A: With approximate dimensions of 40 × 30 × 15 cm, it comfortably carries A4 documents or a slim 13-inch laptop, a long wallet, phone, small cosmetics pouch and a water bottle, plus small items in the two interior pockets. Packing capacity depends on your specific items and any cases you use—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: How is it carried and what is the handle drop? A: The Sistina MM is designed for shoulder carry via dual flat leather straps with an approximate 20 cm drop. It is not intended for crossbody wear. The straps are not detachable.
Q: How does the closure work and is it secure? A: The bag features a zip top that sits under a front crossover strap with a push‑lock clasp. This double closure offers added security while keeping the silhouette sleek.
Q: Is the Sistina MM still in production at Louis Vuitton? A: This is a past-season style and is no longer part of Louis Vuitton’s current collection. It is now found on the pre‑owned market.
Q: What does the date code CR0192 mean? A: Louis Vuitton used alphanumeric date codes until 2021. In the post‑2007 format, the first and third digits indicate the week and the second and fourth indicate the year. CR0192 decodes to France, week 09 of 2012.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: It is crafted from Damier Ebene coated canvas with dark brown leather trim, gold‑tone hardware and a red Alcantara (microfibre suede) lining with two interior pockets.
Q: How should I care for the Damier Ebene canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry with a clean towel. Avoid alcohol‑based products, harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbing and leather conditioners on the canvas. For the leather trim, use only a very gentle, neutral care approach if needed and avoid heavy oils or coloured creams. Store stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from heat and direct sunlight to help maintain shape and colour.
Q: How do I clean the Alcantara lining? A: Start dry by shaking out debris or using a soft brush/lint roller. For spot cleaning, lightly dampen a microfibre cloth with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild, neutral soap; gently blot (do not soak) and allow to air‑dry away from heat, then lightly brush to restore the nap.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, the product information notes no accompanying items.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every piece is checked by our in‑house specialists using multi‑point inspections of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes, supported by reference databases and, where appropriate, third‑party tools. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to share additional details on request.
