Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene coated canvas?
A: Coated canvas is generally durable and low-maintenance, but it should still be handled with care. Wipe the surface gently with a soft, light-coloured damp cloth, avoid overfilling the pouch, and keep it away from direct heat, prolonged humidity, perfume, creams, sanitiser, and abrasive surfaces. It is best not to use leather conditioner, oils, soap, or harsh cleaning products on the canvas.

Q: How do you authenticate this Louis Vuitton item?
A: At A Retro Tale, all items are checked by experts before sale.

A date code alone does not prove authenticity, but it is one important part of the process.
