Perfect for city evenings and weekend brunch, the Louis Vuitton Damier Navona adds refined polish to tailored looks. Its compact silhouette and single shoulder strap make it an easy companion for dinners, gallery visits, or a day of sightseeing, keeping essentials close while elevating every outfit.
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 Navona? A: With approximate dimensions of 21 × 12 × 4 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few small essentials such as lip balm and earbuds. Bulky items and water bottles are unlikely to fit; packing slim items maximises space.
Q: Is the Navona still in production, and from what era is it? A: The Navona is a discontinued model. Most examples date from the late 1990s to early 2000s, making it a sought‑after vintage piece.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable or removable? A: The Navona is designed with a short shoulder strap for hand or shoulder carry. Many examples feature a removable strap attached to D‑rings; however, adjustability is not standard. Please check the photos and product information for the exact strap configuration on this piece.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody? A: It was not originally designed for crossbody wear due to the short drop (around 16–16.5 cm). If your piece has D‑rings and a removable strap, you can attach a longer strap to wear it crossbody; compatibility and comfort will depend on the strap you select.
Q: What are the materials, and how do I care for them? A: The bag is crafted from Damier Ebene coated canvas with treated brown leather trim and textile lining. Wipe canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water, then dry with a lint‑free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, and coloured materials that could transfer dye. Store it lightly stuffed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
Q: Is Damier Ebene canvas waterproof? A: Coated canvas and the treated Ebene leather are water‑resistant but not fully waterproof. Light rain should not be an issue, but prolonged exposure can lead to water spots or marks; blot dry promptly with a soft cloth.
Q: What is the typical style code for the Navona, and does it have a serial number? A: The Navona in Damier Ebene is often referenced under style code N51983. Like other Louis Vuitton bags from this era, it does not have a serial number; instead, it typically carries a heat‑stamped date code indicating where and when it was made.
Q: Will a large smartphone fit (for example, a “Pro Max” size)? A: Yes—most large smartphones fit comfortably given the internal length and height. A thick case may reduce available space, so a slim case is recommended for the easiest fit.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag, box, or additional strap is not listed there, it is not included with this piece.
Q: How does A Retro Tale verify authenticity? A: Every item is carefully inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
