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 handles daily essentials with ease: large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, small cosmetics pouch, an A5 diary and a small water bottle. The organised interior with four slip pockets and elastic holders keeps items upright and tidy.
Q: Was the Deauville originally a handbag or a vanity case? A: The Deauville was conceived as a spacious travel vanity case with a washable interior and pockets for bottles and brushes; many owners now carry it as an everyday handbag thanks to its practical layout and classic Monogram look.

Q: How secure is the closure and what’s the interior layout? A: It features a dual zip‑around closure that can be secured with a padlock, one exterior slip pocket, and a beige washable lining with four interior slip pockets plus elastic holders to stabilise bottles or toiletries. This specific piece comes with a padlock and key as listed under Accessories. ([yoogiscloset.com](https://www.yoogiscloset.com/508870-louis-vuitton-monogram-canvas-deauville-bag.html))
Q: Does the Deauville come with a shoulder strap? Can I wear it crossbody? A: The classic Deauville is designed as a top‑handle bag with dual rolled leather handles and no shoulder or crossbody strap. Handle drop on this piece is approximately 9 cm for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. ([yoogiscloset.com](https://www.yoogiscloset.com/508870-louis-vuitton-monogram-canvas-deauville-bag.html))
Q: How does it compare to the Louis Vuitton Trouville? A: The Deauville is the larger counterpart to the Trouville, offering more capacity and a roomier interior; both share the rounded, zip‑top silhouette.

Q: Will it fit a tablet or 13‑inch laptop? A: Slim tablets (e.g., 11‑inch iPad Pro) generally fit comfortably. A 13‑inch laptop may fit dimensionally but can be snug due to the structured body and curved zip opening; we’re happy to perform a tailored fit check for your device on request.
Q: What does the date code VI1925 mean on this bag? A: In Louis Vuitton’s 1990–2006 format, two letters indicate the factory and the four digits encode month and year (1st & 3rd digits = month; 2nd & 4th = year). “VI1925” decodes to France (VI) and December 1995.

Q: Where do I typically find the date code on a Deauville? A: Placement can vary by year, but it’s usually stamped on a small leather tab inside the bag or along an interior seam/pocket. Note that from around 2021 Louis Vuitton transitioned to embedded microchips instead of visible date codes. ([rebag.com](https://www.rebag.com/thevault/louis-vuitton-101-date-codes/))
Q: Is the Monogram canvas waterproof? How should I care for the vachetta leather? A: Monogram coated canvas is durable and water‑resistant, but not fully waterproof. The natural vachetta leather trim is untreated and sensitive to water, oils and sunlight; it will develop a honey patina over time. If the bag gets lightly damp, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow it to air‑dry away from heat. ([therelux.com](https://www.therelux.com/blogs/relux-blog/how-to-properly-care-for-your-louis-vuitton-handbag-a-2025-guide))
Q: Any storage and cleaning tips for this model? A: Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid hanging it by the handles for long periods. Wipe the canvas with a soft, dry cloth; for the washable lining, use a barely damp cloth and mild soap if needed, then dry thoroughly. Treat vachetta sparingly with a high‑quality, neutral conditioner only after testing on a discreet area.
