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 this Batignolles Horizontal Tote Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 39 x 25 x 12 cm, it is suited to everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small water bottle, and a tablet. A4 papers can usually fit horizontally, and some slim 13-inch laptops may fit depending on their exact dimensions and sleeve, so we recommend comparing your device to the Measurements on this page before purchase.
Q: Is this bag designed to be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. This model features dual flat shoulder straps with an approximate strap drop of 24 cm, so it is designed as a shoulder tote. For most people it sits comfortably under the arm, though it may feel a little snug over bulky outerwear.
Q: Does the Batignolles Horizontal have a zip closure? A: No. This model has an open top with a hook closure rather than a full zip. That makes it easy to access your belongings quickly, while the hook helps keep the silhouette neater when carried.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The interior is lined in brown canvas and includes one internal zip pocket and one slip pocket, which are useful for separating smaller essentials such as keys, cards, or a phone from the main compartment.
Q: What does the date code DU0036 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes identify the place and period of manufacture rather than serving as a unique serial number. On this bag, DU indicates production in France, and the four digits point to March 2006.
Q: Is the Monogram canvas practical for everyday use? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton Monogram coated canvas is known for being durable and relatively low-maintenance, which is why the Batignolles Horizontal is often chosen as an everyday tote. As with most vintage pieces, the natural leather trim will show age, patina, and wear more readily than the canvas.
Q: How should I care for the canvas and leather trim? A: The coated canvas can be wiped gently with a soft damp cloth and a little mild soapy water if needed. Avoid oils, alcohol-based products, harsh cleaners, and overfilling the bag. The natural leather trim should be kept away from excess moisture, perfume, and direct heat, as it can darken and mark over time.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece is listed with no additional items included. If you do not see anything else noted on the product page, please assume only the bag itself is included.
Q: How do you verify authenticity? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is inspected by in-house experts using detailed checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps, and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of the pieces we sell.
