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 Monogram Batignolles Horizontal Tote Bag? A: With an approximate size of 37 x 24 x 13 cm, this tote is well suited to everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a water bottle. It can also accommodate A4 papers and slim daily items without feeling overly bulky.
Q: Can this bag be carried comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. The Batignolles Horizontal is designed as a shoulder tote with dual flat straps. This piece has an approximate strap drop of 24 cm, which is generally comfortable for shoulder wear, although the fit may feel slightly snug over thicker winter coats.
Q: Does the bag close with a zip? A: No. This model typically features an open top with a centre hook closure rather than a full zip. That gives quick access to your belongings while still offering light security for day-to-day use.
Q: Does it have inside pockets for organisation? A: Yes. The interior is lined in brown textile and includes one internal zip pocket and one slip pocket, which are useful for separating smaller essentials from the main compartment.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or work documents? A: It is a practical work-to-weekend size and should fit A4 documents, a tablet and some slim compact laptops, depending on the device and sleeve. If you plan to carry a laptop regularly, we recommend comparing your device measurements with the bag dimensions listed on this page for the best indication of fit.
Q: What does the date code DU3098 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this period indicate the place and time of production rather than acting as a unique serial number. DU denotes France, and 3098 corresponds to the 39th week of 2008.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and natural leather trim? A: The coated canvas can be gently wiped with a soft damp cloth. The natural leather trim is more delicate and will darken over time as it develops patina. It is best to avoid heavy rain, direct heat, oils, perfumes and harsh cleaning products, and to store the bag in a breathable area when not in use.
Q: What is included with this item? A: No additional items are included with this piece. Please refer to the product information on this page for what is included with your purchase.
Q: What condition is this particular bag in? A: This bag is listed in very good condition overall. The exterior shows light traces of use with some scuffing on the corners, the interior has light signs of wear, and the hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: How do you verify authenticity? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked by in-house experts using a multi-point review of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and date code details. We stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we sell.
