Elevate smart-casual outings with the vintage Louis Vuitton Paris Souple Whisper. In brown calfskin with LV embossing and gold-tone accents, it’s ideal for a city day—brunch, shopping and a gallery visit—then on to dinner. The single shoulder strap keeps it effortless, while the top zip and interior pockets keep essentials organised.
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 is the Louis Vuitton Paris Souple Whisper bag? A: It is a limited-edition shoulder tote from the late 2000s, crafted in supple brown calfskin leather embossed with the Louis Vuitton name. It features gold-tone chain-linked handles with leather shoulder pads, a decorative leather tassel at the front, and a secure top zip closure, making it a chic everyday carry from the Marc Jacobs era.
Q: What does the date code TH3058 indicate? A: TH denotes a French workshop. For 2007–2020 codes, the first and third digits show the production week and the second and fourth digits show the year. Therefore, 3058 means week 35 of 2008 in France. Note that Louis Vuitton date codes are not unique serial numbers but production stamps used alongside other markers for authentication.
Q: How big is it and what fits inside? A: Approximate measurements are 35 × 26 × 10 cm with a handle drop of about 23 cm. It comfortably holds daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, small cosmetics pouch, compact umbrella and a tablet; a slim 13-inch laptop may fit depending on its case and allowing clearance for the zip. A4 documents are more likely to fit horizontally than upright—please compare your items to the measurements provided.
Q: Does it have a detachable strap or crossbody option? A: No. This model is designed as a shoulder bag with dual chain-and-leather handles and is not configured with D-rings for a detachable crossbody strap.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The bag is lined in brown suede and includes one zipped pocket and one slip pocket, with a top zip closure for secure storage.
Q: Is the front tassel removable? A: The tassel is a decorative element mounted to a front brass knob and is not intended to be removed. We recommend avoiding pulling on it to preserve the hardware and leather.
Q: Which size is this—PM or GM? A: The Whisper was produced in at least PM and GM variations and dimensions can vary slightly by production. Please use the listed measurements (35 × 26 × 10 cm) to compare with your needs rather than relying solely on a size label.
Q: What materials and hardware does this style use? A: The exterior is brown calfskin leather with LV embossing and gold-tone hardware. The handles combine bijoux-style chain links with leather shoulder pads for comfort, and the interior is suede-lined.
Q: How should I care for the leather and lining? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow it to air-dry away from heat. Condition sparingly with a quality neutral leather cream when the leather feels dry. Keep away from oils, perfumes, and prolonged sunlight to prevent colour fading. For the suede lining, use a clean suede brush to lift dust and avoid liquid cleaners. Store stuffed with acid-free tissue in a breathable dust bag, and keep it away from dark denim and other colour-transferring textiles.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi-point checks by our in-house experts, including materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, interior markings, and date code review. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details upon request.
