Perfect for weekends in the city, this vintage Louis Vuitton Loretta slips effortlessly across the body for hands-free style. The iconic Monogram canvas with fuchsia accents adds a pop of colour, while the zipped design keeps essentials secure from brunch to gallery visits and evening strolls.
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 Loretta? A: With its slim profile (approx. 25 × 18 × 4 cm), it’s ideal for daily essentials: a large smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, AirPods and a passport. Slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve can fit. Bulky pouches, small water bottles and tablets generally do not. Please refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will an iPhone Pro/Max fit? A: Yes—most Pro/Max phones fit horizontally. Very thick or rugged cases may make the zip feel snug. Compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements provided, or ask us to test the fit against this specific bag before purchase.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: This model features a single adjustable flat strap designed for shoulder or crossbody wear. We list the strap drop in the Measurements section (approx. 53 cm for this piece). The strap is not designed to be removed. If you’d like us to advise how it sits on you, just ask and we’ll help.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Loretta has a top zip closure offering good day‑to‑day security. Inside you’ll find a fuchsia Alcantara lining with two slip pockets for organisation. For travel or crowded commutes, we recommend keeping the bag zipped and using a small zip pouch for valuables.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have? A: This listing specifies Monogram coated canvas with fuchsia leather trim, gold‑tone brass hardware and a fuchsia Alcantara lining. Our photos show the exact finish and details of this item.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas, leather trim and Alcantara lining? A: Wipe coated canvas gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Keep leather away from moisture and oils, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim (especially with light or bright trims). Alcantara can be refreshed with a soft brush or lint roller; for light marks, blot (don’t rub) with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and protect hardware from rubbing to minimise hairline scratches.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton bags feature an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris”) along with a country of origin (this piece is stamped Spain). Pieces produced up to around 2021 typically include a date code; newer items may use an embedded microchip. This bag shows the date code GI3167, which under LV’s format indicates Spain, week 36 of 2017. Placement can vary—contact us for close‑up photos of this item.
Q: Is the Loretta still produced? A: The Loretta is generally considered a seasonal/vintage style and is not widely available new at boutiques. The pre‑loved market is the best way to find specific colours and configurations like this fuchsia‑trim edition.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Any included items (e.g., dust bag, box) are listed under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all pieces we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
