Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Trotteur? A: The Trotteur is a compact, camera-style crossbody designed for daily essentials. It comfortably holds a large smartphone (including Pro/Max models), a compact wallet, keys, lipstick, and perhaps a pair of sunglasses in a soft case. While the base width (approx. 25 cm) can technically accommodate a slim continental wallet, the bag’s tapered shape and zip opening make smaller wallets much easier to access.
Q: Will my iPhone Pro/Max fit? A: Yes, the Trotteur is wide enough to fit most large smartphones, including iPhone Pro/Max models. We recommend comparing your device’s dimensions with the bag’s measurements (approx. 25 x 12.5 x 7 cm) to ensure a comfortable fit, especially if you use a bulky case.
Q: Is the strap adjustable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes, the bag features an adjustable flat Vachetta leather strap. With a typical strap drop ranging between 48 cm and 54 cm, it is designed to be worn on the shoulder or as a crossbody. On taller frames, it may sit slightly higher on the body when worn crossbody.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag features a single zip-top closure that spans the width of the bag, keeping your belongings secure for city walking or travel.
Q: What is the interior layout? A: The interior is lined in brown textile and features a single main compartment with one small zipped pocket on the side wall for securing smaller valuables.
Q: What materials is this bag made of? A: This model is crafted from Louis Vuitton’s durable Monogram coated canvas, but unlike many other styles, it features a full Vachetta (natural cowhide) leather base and strap. This leather is untreated and develops a unique amber patina over time.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather base? A: The Vachetta leather base is sensitive to water and oils. It naturally darkens (patinas) with age and sunlight, which is part of its vintage charm. To protect it, avoid placing the bag on wet or dirty surfaces. If it gets lightly wet, blot (do not rub) immediately with a soft, light-coloured cloth. We recommend keeping the leather conditioned with a specialized neutral product, applied sparingly.
Q: Is the Trotteur still produced? A: No, the Louis Vuitton Trotteur has been discontinued and is no longer available in boutiques. It is now a sought-after vintage piece, appreciated for its practical shape and lightweight design.
Q: Where are the brand markings and date code located? A: You will typically find the "Louis Vuitton Paris made in..." stamp heat-pressed into the leather. The date code (e.g., AR1022) is usually found on a small leather tab inside the interior pocket or stamped along a seam. This code indicates the manufacturing location and date (e.g., France, October 2002 for this specific piece).
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date codes, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
