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 Taiga Kendall GM? A: With measurements of 57 x 36 x 24 cm, this is a generously sized weekend bag. It will generally hold clothing for several days, a pair of shoes, a wash bag and other travel essentials. Capacity can vary depending on how you pack, so the measurements on this page are the best guide.
Q: Is the Kendall GM a good choice for short trips or cabin travel? A: Yes, it is ideal for overnight stays and weekend trips thanks to its roomy shape and wide opening. For flights, always check your airline's cabin baggage limits before travelling, as allowances vary and this bag may be too large for stricter carriers.
Q: How is this bag designed to be carried? A: This model features dual rolled handles with a 13 cm handle drop. This specific item does not include a shoulder strap in the product information, so it is best considered a handheld travel bag.
Q: What is Taiga leather, and why do collectors like it? A: Taiga is Louis Vuitton's textured cowhide line, known for its discreet appearance and practical durability. Buyers often choose it for its refined, understated look and because the grain helps everyday marks show less than on smoother leathers.
Q: How should I care for vintage Taiga leather? A: Wipe it gently with a soft, pale cloth and keep it away from abrasive surfaces, excess moisture, direct sunlight and strong heat. If it gets lightly wet or dusty, dab it dry rather than rubbing. When not in use, store it loosely stuffed in a breathable bag to help preserve its shape.
Q: What does the date code SP1924 mean? A: Louis Vuitton used date codes rather than unique serial numbers on vintage pieces like this. On bags from the 1990 to 2006 period, the numbers indicate the month and year of production, so SP1924 corresponds to December 1994. The bag is also marked as made in France.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag includes a luggage tag and a poignet, which is the leather handle keeper, as listed in the product information. If another item is not mentioned in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: It is in good vintage condition overall. The exterior shows scuffing on the trim and leather, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware is still shiny with light scratches. This is consistent with a well-kept pre-owned travel bag.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: The date code is one useful checkpoint, but it is not enough on its own. Proper authentication also looks at the leather, lining, hardware, stitching, stamps and overall construction. A Retro Tale carefully vets all items before sale.
