In very good vintage condition with a red‑lined interior, it carries everyday essentials with timeless ease from office hours to dinner.
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 day‑to‑day essentials? A: This Cabas Rivington measures approximately 30 × 28 × 16 cm with a strap drop of about 24 cm. It comfortably holds A4 documents, a water bottle, wallet and daily essentials; a slim 13‑inch laptop or tablet typically fits, though a padded sleeve is recommended to protect your device and the lining.
Q: Is the Cabas Rivington suitable for work and commuting? A: Yes. The structured Damier Ebene canvas, secure top zip on this piece, and shoulder‑friendly drop make it a practical work tote. Most users find it ideal for files, a diary, small pouch and tech, without feeling bulky.
Q: What is the official model reference for this bag? A: The Cabas Rivington in Damier Ebene is commonly referenced as N41108 in Louis Vuitton’s catalogue. Variations exist, but this is the most cited code for the tote format in this material and colourway.
Q: Does it have side zips or gussets? A: Many Cabas Rivington examples feature decorative side zips that can relax the gussets slightly. Design details may vary by production period; please refer to the photos and product information on this page to see the exact configuration of this item.
Q: What closure and interior layout does this piece have? A: This specific bag has a zip‑top closure and a red textile lining with one main compartment, as shown in our product photography and product information. Some runs of the Rivington Cabas were produced with a clasp‑hook top; ours is the zipped version.
Q: What does the date code CA1191 mean? A: In Louis Vuitton’s coding, CA indicates manufacture in Spain. For items from 2007 onwards, the first and third digits show the week and the second and fourth the year; thus “1191” decodes to the 19th week of 2011. Date codes are not unique serial numbers, but they help place when and where a piece was made.
Q: Is this style still in production? A: The Rivington Cabas is not part of Louis Vuitton’s current Damier Ebene handbag line‑up and is typically sourced via the pre‑owned market, which is why you’ll mostly see it with reputable resellers and vintage specialists.
Q: What materials is it made from and how durable is it? A: It’s crafted from Damier Ebene coated canvas with dark brown treated leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. The canvas is lightweight, hard‑wearing and water‑resistant, and the treated leather trim is more forgiving than natural vachetta—ideal for regular use.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene coated canvas and the leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it immediately; avoid soaps, solvents and alcohol‑based wipes. Keep the bag away from prolonged sun/heat, and avoid overfilling to maintain its shape. Store it upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag when not in use. For the leather trim, use a dry, soft cloth only and avoid oils or conditioning creams unless advised by a professional.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the bag is listed in the product information on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not stated there, it is not included—feel free to contact us if you would like us to confirm what’s included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes a multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts, including materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date code review. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details or photos on request.
