Louis VuittonDamier Cobalt Cabas Voyage Tote Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Cabas Voyage tote?
A: With measurements of approximately 37 × 32 × 10 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as an A4 notebook or documents, tablet, water bottle, long wallet, and a small pouch. It fits most 13-inch laptops and many slim 15–16-inch laptops in a sleeve, but please compare your device’s measurements with the bag’s dimensions for the best fit.

Q: Can it be carried on the shoulder?
A: Yes. The dual flat leather handles have an approximate 23 cm drop, which allows comfortable shoulder carry (even over a light coat), as well as hand or crook-of-arm carry.

Q: What is Damier Cobalt canvas and how durable is it?
A: Damier Cobalt is Louis Vuitton’s navy-and-graphite checked coated canvas paired with black leather trim. Coated canvas is light, hard-wearing and resistant to everyday scratches and light rain, while the leather trim adds structure and develops character with wear. Avoid prolonged moisture on the leather parts.

Q: How should I clean and care for this material?
A: For canvas, wipe with a soft damp cloth and mild soapy water, then dry gently. Do not use alcohol-based products, solvents, or leather lotions on the canvas. Keep leather trim away from excessive water and condition sparingly with a quality neutral leather care product if needed. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight, to maintain its shape and colour.

Q: Does this bag come with or support a shoulder/crossbody strap?
A: This model is designed for hand and shoulder carry via its two fixed leather handles. It does not include a detachable crossbody strap and is not set up with side D-rings for one.

Q: Is the Cabas Voyage unisex?
A: Yes. The clean tote silhouette and the navy Damier Cobalt pattern make it a versatile, gender-neutral choice for work, travel or everyday use.

Q: What does the date code DU1135 mean on this piece?
A: DU denotes a French factory code, and 1135 indicates the 13th week of 2015. Louis Vuitton used date codes to indicate where and when an item was produced; since 2021, the brand has moved to embedded microchips, so date codes are now historical rather than definitive proof of authenticity.

Q: Is this item authentic?
A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is rigorously authenticated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.

Q: What exactly is included with this purchase?
A: Everything included is listed in the product information section of this page. For this piece, no additional items are listed beyond the bag itself.

Q: What is the condition of this specific bag?
A: Very Good overall. There is visible scuffing on the corners and some marks on the leather trim; the lining shows light stains. The hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches. Please review the photos for full details.
