For a refined city commute or client meeting, the vintage Louis Vuitton Monogram Macassar Davis tote lends understated polish. Carry by the dual handles or go hands‑free with the detachable strap, and rely on its burgundy-lined interior and pockets to keep essentials in order from office hours to after‑work dinners.
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 measurements and what typically fits inside? A: The Davis Tote measures approximately 35 cm high, 37 cm wide and 12 cm deep. It comfortably holds A4 documents, a 13–14 inch laptop, a tablet, charger, wallet, water bottle and other daily essentials. Capacity will vary depending on how you pack—please refer to the measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Does it include a shoulder strap and can it be worn crossbody? A: Yes. This piece includes a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap for shoulder or crossbody wear, along with dual top handles for hand carry. The handle drop is about 14 cm and the strap drop adjusts up to roughly 51 cm for versatile styling.
Q: What is Monogram Macassar? A: Monogram Macassar combines Louis Vuitton’s classic monogram coated canvas with smooth black leather trim and typically silver‑tone hardware. The contrast gives a modern, graphic look while keeping the canvas’ renowned durability.
Q: How does the bag close and how is the interior organised? A: The Davis features a secure top zip closure. Inside you’ll find a burgundy textile lining with practical slip pockets for smaller items. Protective feet at the base help the bag stand and reduce wear on corners.
Q: Will it fit a work laptop? A: Yes. Most 13–14 inch laptops fit comfortably within the 37 cm width and 35 cm height. For larger devices, compare your laptop’s measurements with the bag dimensions to be sure.
Q: Is the Davis Tote unisex? A: Absolutely. Although Monogram Macassar originated in the men’s line, the clean lines, neutral tones and crossbody option make this a versatile, unisex carry for work or weekend.
Q: How durable is the canvas and leather, and how should I care for it? A: Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas is hard‑wearing and water‑resistant, while the black leather trim adds structure. Wipe canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep leather away from harsh cleaners and moisturise sparingly with a quality neutral leather product if needed. Avoid overfilling, prolonged sun/heat exposure and abrasive or colour‑transferring surfaces. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: What does the date code BA1100 mean on this item? A: BA indicates production in France. Using the 2007–2020 format, the code 1100 decodes to the 10th week of 2010. Note that from 2021, Louis Vuitton replaced visible date codes with microchips, so codes are not used on newer pieces.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this piece, that includes the detachable shoulder strap. If a dust bag, box or other item is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can provide additional details on request.
