Delivery & Returns
Q: What size is the Louis Vuitton Vernis Mat Wilwood Tote, and what typically fits inside? A: This bag measures approximately 35 x 31 x 11 cm with a 24 cm handle drop. It is a practical everyday tote that can usually hold essentials such as a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch, and a small tablet or notebook. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this item.
Q: Can this Wilwood Tote be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual flat shoulder straps have an approximate 24 cm drop, which generally allows for comfortable shoulder carry depending on your frame and outerwear.
Q: How is this bag organised inside? A: This Wilwood Tote features two front flap pockets, a top zip closure, and a black textile-lined interior with internal slip pockets, giving you both secure storage and easy-access compartments for smaller essentials.
Q: What material is the bag made from? A: The exterior is crafted in black Monogram Vernis Mat leather with silver-tone hardware. Vernis leather is known for its distinctive coated finish and structured look, making it a striking choice for everyday use and collection alike.
Q: How should I care for Vernis leather? A: Vernis leather should be handled with care. It is best kept away from dark denim, magazines, other leathers, oils, perfumes, and prolonged direct sunlight, as colour transfer, surface marks, or fading can occur. For light surface dust, gently wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and store the bag in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Q: Is colour transfer something to be aware of with this material? A: Yes. Colour transfer is one of the most commonly discussed concerns with Vernis leather. To help preserve the finish, avoid rubbing the bag against dark clothing, printed materials, or other strongly pigmented surfaces.
Q: What does the date code TH0052 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes indicate the place and time of production, but they are not unique serial numbers. The code TH0052 corresponds to a bag made in France in May 2002.
Q: Does the date code prove authenticity on its own? A: No. A date code is only one part of the authentication process and should not be used alone to judge authenticity. At A Retro Tale, every item is carefully inspected for details such as materials, craftsmanship, hardware, stamps, and overall consistency before being offered for sale.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: This item is listed in very good condition with light traces of use. The exterior shows light signs of wear, the interior lining has discolouration, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. We recommend reviewing all photos and the condition notes in the product information before purchasing.
Q: Are any accessories included with this bag? A: This item is listed with no accessories. Everything included with the purchase is stated in the product information, so if an item is not listed there, it is not included.
