Delivery & Returns
Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Recoleta Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 25 x 12 x 6.5 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, a small purse or card holder, keys, lipstick and sunglasses. It is a compact shoulder bag, so bulkier items like a tablet or a large wallet will be a tight fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: No. This Recoleta is designed as a shoulder bag with a single flat strap. With a strap drop of approximately 19 cm, it sits neatly under the arm rather than across the body.
Q: How secure is the closure, and does it have any inside pockets? A: The bag has a magnetic flap closure for easy access and a red-lined interior with one internal pocket for smaller essentials.
Q: What is the bag made from? A: According to the product information, this piece is crafted from Damier Ebene canvas with brown leather trim and finished with brass hardware.
Q: What does the code FL 1002 mean? A: Louis Vuitton vintage bags commonly use a date code rather than a unique serial number. FL 1002 corresponds to October 2002, and the product information lists France as the country of origin.
Q: Is Damier Ebene a good choice for everyday use? A: Yes. Damier Ebene is known for being one of Louis Vuitton’s more practical finishes for regular use because the coated canvas is structured and relatively low-maintenance. This style is especially suited to carrying light everyday essentials without feeling bulky.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft damp cloth if needed, and avoid alcohol-based products, harsh cleaners, oils and prolonged contact with rough surfaces. When not in use, store it in its dust bag in a cool, ventilated place and avoid overfilling it so the shape stays crisp.
Q: What is the condition of this particular item? A: This bag is listed in very good condition with light traces of use. The exterior and interior both show light wear, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: A dust bag is included. For this item, everything included is shown in the product information; if another item is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
