Perfect for weekend getaways and polished daily commutes, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Deauville keeps essentials neatly organised for meetings, brunches and city strolls. With refined top‑handle carry, it transitions effortlessly from work to travel with timeless appeal.
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 Deauville? A: With approximate measurements of 35 × 24 × 13 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials and more: large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, make‑up pouch, compact umbrella, A5 diary/notebook and travel toiletries. The four interior slip pockets and elastic holders help keep bottles and small items upright. If you’d like a tailored fit check for a specific item, just ask and we’ll test this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or a laptop? A: Most tablets (e.g., iPad, iPad Air/11‑inch iPad Pro) fit easily. A slim 13‑inch laptop may fit when placed horizontally without a bulky sleeve; the structured walls and zip‑around opening can make thicker devices snug. For certainty, share your device’s dimensions and we’ll confirm the fit in this bag.
Q: Does it come with a strap? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The Deauville is designed as a top‑handle vanity/handbag with dual rolled handles (approx. 10 cm drop) and no factory strap attachments. It’s best carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. Third‑party strap adapters are not recommended as they may stress the handles and hardware. Everything included with this specific bag is listed under “Accessories” (this listing states no accessories).
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: It features a secure zip‑around main compartment and one exterior slip pocket. Inside this exact piece you’ll find a beige canvas lining with four slip pockets and elastic bottle holders for organised storage.
Q: Is the Deauville still produced? A: The classic Monogram Deauville is widely regarded as a discontinued/vintage style. Today it’s mainly available through the pre‑loved market, with details (e.g., lining style and accessories) varying by production year.
Q: What does the date code VI0927 mean and where is it found? A: In Louis Vuitton’s 1990–2006 format, the letters indicate country and the digits indicate month/year. “VI” denotes France; “0927” decodes to February 1997. Placement varies by piece—typically on a small leather tab inside or along an interior seam.
Q: What materials is it made from and how durable is it? A: The exterior is Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Coated canvas is light and durable with some water resistance; Vachetta is untreated, develops a honey patina and is sensitive to water and oils, so it requires mindful care.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather, canvas and hardware? A: Keep the bag away from heavy rain and oils; be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. Wipe canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. For Vachetta, blot (don’t rub) fresh splashes and allow to air‑dry; condition very sparingly with a high‑quality neutral product only after testing on a discreet area. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and pad the zip pulls/hardware to minimise scratches.
Q: Is the interior washable? A: Some Deauville examples were produced with wipe‑clean interiors; this specific bag has a beige canvas lining. We recommend using small pouches for liquids and cosmetics and spot‑cleaning gently with a soft cloth if needed.
Q: How is authenticity guaranteed? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and the date code/micro‑details, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
