OUT OF STOCK
Perfect for busy city days and relaxed weekends, this vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Cabas Beaubourg tote lends refined ease to every outfit. In monogram coated canvas with dual shoulder straps and a handy exterior slip pocket, its open-top design keeps essentials within reach—ideal from morning errands to casual lunches and after-work plans.
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 are the dimensions and how does it carry? A: The bag measures approximately 37 × 32 × 11 cm with a strap drop of about 23 cm. It is a shoulder tote with dual flat straps and a lightweight monogram coated canvas body that sits comfortably under the arm.
Q: What typically fits inside this Cabas Beaubourg? A: It will take everyday essentials such as a long wallet, phone, keys, a small cosmetic pouch, a notebook or A4 documents, and most 13-inch laptops or tablets. For laptops, compare your device case to the internal space; items up to roughly 32 cm wide and 11 cm deep fit best.
Q: Does it have a zip closure? A: This piece has an open top for quick access and one exterior slip pocket for grab-and-go items. For valuables, we recommend using a zipped pouch or a bag organiser with a top zip inside the main compartment.
Q: Is it suitable for work or travel commuting? A: Yes. The slim profile, shoulder-friendly straps, and exterior slip pocket make it practical for office or city use. Because it is open-top, secure smaller items in the interior with a zipped pouch or organiser, and keep the bag close in crowded areas.
Q: How durable is Louis Vuitton’s monogram coated canvas? A: Monogram coated canvas is known for being hard-wearing and resistant to light rain and everyday scuffs. It is more forgiving than many leathers, which is why it is a popular choice for daily totes.
Q: How should I clean and store it? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a clean, slightly damp, lint-free cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid alcohol-based products, harsh detergents, oils, and abrasive scrubbing. Spot-clean the textile straps gently and store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat or sunlight.
Q: What does the date code DU2018 indicate? A: DU denotes a French workshop. With this four-digit format used by Louis Vuitton from 2007–2020, the first and third digits show the production week and the second and fourth digits show the year. DU2018 corresponds to week 21 of 2008 in France.
Q: Will a 14-inch or 15-inch laptop fit? A: Many slim 14-inch laptops may fit depending on bezel size; most 15-inch models are wider than the 32 cm bag width and are less likely to fit comfortably. Please compare your device’s exact measurements with the bag’s interior space for certainty.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the piece is listed under the product information on this page. This particular item is sold without additional items unless stated otherwise.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Our specialists inspect materials, stitching, stamps, hardware, heat stamps, and date codes, cross-checking against known references. We stand by the authenticity of every piece we sell and are happy to provide further product information on request.
