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 Batignolles Horizontal Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 39 x 26 x 14 cm, this is a roomy everyday tote. It will generally fit daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a cosmetics pouch, and a small water bottle, with space left for slim documents or notebooks.
Q: Does it fit A4 papers or a laptop? A: A4-sized papers should fit comfortably in this shape. A slim tablet or compact 13-inch laptop may fit depending on the exact dimensions of your device and sleeve, so we recommend comparing them with the measurements shown on this page before purchasing.
Q: Can this bag be carried comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. The Batignolles Horizontal was designed as a shoulder tote, and this piece has dual flat handles with an approximate 24 cm drop, which generally allows for comfortable shoulder carry in daily use.
Q: Does the bag close fully at the top? A: This model uses a central hook closure rather than a full zip top. It helps keep the opening neat and secure while still allowing easy access to your belongings.
Q: Is this style suitable for work or everyday use? A: Yes. The Batignolles Horizontal is known for its practical, wide silhouette and organised interior, making it a strong option for everyday wear, commuting, or carrying documents and other essentials in one bag.
Q: What does the date code CA1005 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this period indicate where and when the bag was made. CA corresponds to Spain, and 1005 indicates October 2005, which matches the Made in Spain origin listed for this item.
Q: What is the condition of this specific bag? A: This item is listed in good overall condition. It shows rubbing on the bottom corners, light traces of use inside, and shiny hardware with light surface scratches. Please also review the photos for the clearest impression of wear.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This bag is listed as having no extras included. Everything included with the purchase is reflected in the product information for this item.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and natural leather trim? A: Wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. The natural cowhide leather trim can darken over time into a honey patina, so it is best kept away from rain, oils, and prolonged heat or direct sunlight. When not in use, store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: Is the Batignolles Horizontal a discontinued Louis Vuitton model? A: Yes. The Batignolles Horizontal is a vintage Louis Vuitton style that is no longer part of the brand’s current core line, which adds to its appeal for collectors and lovers of earlier Monogram tote designs.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked by specialists using details such as materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and date codes. Date codes help confirm production details, but they are only one part of the overall authentication process.
