Q: Does this briefcase have a shoulder strap? A: No. This piece is designed to be carried by hand with its single top handle. No shoulder strap is listed in the product information.
Q: What pockets and closures does this bag have? A: This briefcase features an exterior rear slip pocket for quick-access essentials and a flap closure with a key lock. It is a practical vintage business style with a structured, professional look.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This item includes a key. Everything included is shown in the product information, so if another accessory is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: What condition is this briefcase in? A: It is listed in good vintage condition. The exterior leather has visible scuffing, tarnish and scratches, the interior shows light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the product information and images carefully for the most accurate impression.
Q: What is Taiga leather, and is it durable? A: Taiga leather is Louis Vuitton’s textured grained leather line, known for its understated and refined appearance. It is generally appreciated for everyday durability and lower maintenance than many smoother leathers, though vintage pieces can still show scuffs, corner wear, and surface marks over time.
Q: How should I care for vintage Taiga leather? A: We recommend gentle care only: wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoid overfilling the briefcase, and store it in a ventilated area away from heat and direct sunlight. Harsh cleaners, solvents, oils, and heavy leather treatments should be avoided, as they can affect the leather and finish.
Q: What does the serial number RI1024 indicate? A: Louis Vuitton date codes help indicate where and when an item was made. Based on the format used on vintage Louis Vuitton pieces, RI1024 indicates production in France in December 2004. As with all Louis Vuitton items, a date code is only one part of the authentication process and should not be relied on in isolation.

Its size, rear slip pocket, top handle, and lockable flap make it a strong option for documents and daily office essentials, especially if you prefer a more traditional business bag over a casual tote or messenger.
Q: How do you authenticate vintage Louis Vuitton bags? A: Authenticity is assessed through a combination of details such as leather quality, construction, stitching, hardware, stamps, overall consistency, and date code format. For a vintage piece like this one, those elements should always be considered together rather than relying on any single feature alone.
