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 Croissant MM Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 x 20 x 5 cm, it is best suited to everyday essentials such as a phone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses and a few small toiletries. Because of its slim crescent shape, it works better for flatter items than bulky ones.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: This vintage MM version is designed primarily as a shoulder bag. The strap drop is approximately 22 cm and slightly adjustable, so it usually sits comfortably on the shoulder or tucked under the arm rather than as a true crossbody on most people.
Q: What is the interior layout like? A: This bag has a red microfiber lining, one internal pocket and a top zip closure. The layout is simple and practical for keeping daily essentials organised.
Q: What is vachetta leather, and why does it darken over time? A: Vachetta is Louis Vuitton’s natural untreated leather trim. It starts pale and gradually develops a deeper honey-toned patina with use, light and exposure to the elements. On this piece, the leather shows a visible patina and minor watermarks on the strap, which is typical for a vintage bag in very good condition.
Q: What does the date code FL1014 mean? A: Based on Louis Vuitton’s date-code format from this era, FL1014 indicates production in November 2004. Together with the Made in France marking, it points to French manufacture. Like other Louis Vuitton date codes, it helps identify when and where the bag was made, but it is not a unique serial number and should not be used on its own as proof of authenticity.
Q: Is the Croissant MM considered a vintage style? A: Yes. The Croissant MM is an older Louis Vuitton silhouette from the house archives, which is one reason it remains so sought after on the pre-owned market. Its curved half-moon shape is a key part of its appeal.
Q: Is the Croissant MM comfortable for everyday use? A: Many collectors like this model because the curved shape sits neatly against the body and the adjustable strap makes it easy to wear on the shoulder. It is especially well suited to light daily use when you only need the essentials.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag comes with a dust bag. Everything included with the item is listed in the product information section; if something is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Avoid heavy rain, prolonged direct sunlight and overloading the bag. Wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft dry cloth, keep the vachetta away from moisture where possible, and store the bag in its dust bag when not in use. Light stuffing can help maintain the shape.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked by trained experts using a multi-point review of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell.
