Ideal for polished office days or city brunch, this vintage Damier Ebene Griet tote by Louis Vuitton combines style and structure.

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 what typically fits inside? A: The Griet measures approximately 41 × 27 × 14 cm. It comfortably holds A4 documents, a long wallet, small pouch, and a 13-inch laptop; a slim 14-inch may also fit depending on the sleeve. The structured flap can limit very tall items, so please check the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes, many wear it on the shoulder. The dual rolled handles have an approximate drop of 17–18 cm, which suits shoulder or hand carry for most people. There is no detachable shoulder strap on this model.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: It has a scarlet red Alcantara lining with three compartments, including a central zipped section for valuables and additional slip pockets for smaller items.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: Damier Ebene is a coated canvas with dark brown treated leather trim and gold-tone hardware. The canvas is durable and splash-resistant, while the leather trim is designed to be more resistant to water marks than untreated vachetta. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or heat.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas with a clean, slightly damp, lint-free cloth and dry immediately. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners, baby wipes, oils, and harsh chemicals on both canvas and leather. Store the bag loosely stuffed, in its dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat, and allow dampness to dry naturally before storage.
Q: Will dark denim transfer colour onto the bag? A: Colour transfer can occur from new or non–colourfast fabrics (especially dark denim) onto lighter materials and even onto mid/dark tones with prolonged friction. Minimise contact with brand-new jeans and dyed garments, particularly when they are new, damp, or unwashed.
Q: How do Louis Vuitton date codes work, and what does SR5007 mean? A: For bags made in the 2000s, two letters indicate the country and four digits indicate week and year. SR denotes France; in the code SR5007, the 1st and 3rd digits (5 and 0) indicate the 50th week and the 2nd and 4th digits (0 and 7) indicate the year 2007. Note that from 2021 onwards, Louis Vuitton phased out visible date codes in favour of embedded microchips.
Q: Is the Griet still in production? A: The Griet is a discontinued model and is now found through trusted resale platforms rather than Louis Vuitton boutiques.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton repair this model? A: Louis Vuitton can assess and service components like glazing, handles, and hardware via their repair service. Cracks in coated canvas are typically not repairable, but edge glazing and leather parts may be. You can request a repair consultation directly with Louis Vuitton or contact us for guidance.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. For this piece, a dust bag is included as shown.
