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 Spontini? A: Given its structured 20 × 20 × 8 cm silhouette, it generally holds a smartphone (including many Pro/Max models without a very bulky case), a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, a small cosmetics pouch, slim sunglasses in a soft case and a passport. Continental (long) wallets, A5 notebooks and most tablets usually do not fit comfortably, and the square zip opening can make larger items tricky. If you’d like a tailored fit check for this exact piece, just ask us.
Q: Does it come with a strap and can I wear it crossbody? A: Many Spontini bags were originally sold with a detachable shoulder strap, while some are top‑handle only. Everything included with this specific piece is listed under “Accessories.” If a strap isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included. Original straps are typically not adjustable and offer shoulder or high crossbody wear for many users. We’re happy to measure drop lengths or advise on compatible options if you plan to use a strap.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Spontini typically features a full top zip for good everyday security. Interiors commonly include a main compartment with two slip pockets. Lining materials and pocket layout can vary slightly by era—please review our photos and description for the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: Is the Spontini still produced? A: The Spontini is a discontinued Louis Vuitton style. It’s most often found on the pre‑loved market, making vintage examples like this one especially sought after.
Q: What materials is the Spontini made from? A: Most Spontini bags are crafted in Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta (untreated) leather trim and gold‑tone hardware, with textile or leather-lined interiors depending on the era. Our listing specifies the exact materials and finish for this piece.
Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Coated canvas is durable—wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. Vachetta is untreated leather and will develop a patina; keep it away from moisture and oils, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim. If it gets lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Condition smooth leather very sparingly with a neutral product after testing on a discreet area. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid overfilling to preserve structure.
Q: Will my iPhone Pro/Max fit? A: Most modern smartphones, including many Pro/Max models, fit inside the Spontini. Very thick or rugged cases can make the fit snug. Compare your phone’s dimensions with the Measurements shown, or ask us to perform a quick fit check for this exact piece.
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” and the country of origin). Vintage pieces like the Spontini typically include a date code on a small leather tab or along an interior seam; from around 2021 LV transitioned to an embedded microchip instead of a visible code. Placement and format vary by era—contact us for close‑up photos. Our listing indicates this specific piece is made in France.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton repair or service the Spontini? A: LV can assess repairs such as Vachetta components (handles, tabs), zipper pulls and some hardware, subject to part availability and condition. Lead times and costs vary by region. Skilled independent leather specialists can also clean and restore vintage pieces. We’re happy to advise on typical options and help you prepare for a boutique assessment.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Any included items (e.g., dust bag, detachable strap) are listed under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date code/microchip. We stand behind the authenticity of all pieces we sell.
