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 typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Idylle Ballade MM Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 33 x 25 x 15 cm, this is a roomy everyday shoulder bag. It will generally fit daily essentials such as a phone, long wallet, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch, and a compact umbrella, with extra room for a few additional items. Please use the measurements on this page as the best guide for exact capacity.
Q: Can this bag be worn comfortably on the shoulder? A: Yes. This Ballade MM has dual flat shoulder straps with an approximate strap drop of 20 cm, making it suitable for shoulder carry. It is not designed as a crossbody style, and on thicker coats it may sit slightly higher under the arm.
Q: What material is this bag made from? A: This bag is crafted from Monogram Idylle canvas with brown leather trim, brown textile lining, and brass hardware. The Idylle line is known for a lighter, softer textile feel compared with more rigid coated canvas styles.
Q: Does the bag close securely and have interior organisation? A: Yes. This model features a top zip closure for secure everyday use, along with internal pockets to help organise smaller essentials inside the main compartment.
Q: Is the MM size a good option for everyday use? A: Yes. The Ballade MM is generally considered a practical daily shoulder bag thanks to its lightweight feel, comfortable shoulder carry, and spacious interior. It works well for errands, commuting, and day-to-day essentials without feeling overly bulky.
Q: How should I care for Monogram Idylle canvas and the leather trim? A: Gently wipe the canvas with a soft damp cloth when needed, and avoid harsh cleaners, oils, alcohol-based products, perfume, and home remedies. Try not to overfill the bag, keep it away from prolonged heat and direct sunlight, and store it lightly stuffed in a breathable bag in a ventilated space to help maintain its shape.
Q: What does the date code SA4191 mean? A: Louis Vuitton uses date codes rather than unique serial numbers on older bags. Under the pre-2021 format, SA4191 indicates production in the 49th week of 2011. The code should be read as part of the bag’s overall details and not as the sole proof of authenticity.
Q: What condition is this bag in? A: According to this listing, the bag is in Very Good condition overall. There is scuffing on the leather trim, light traces of use inside, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this bag? A: This listing states that no extra items are included. For the clearest overview of what comes with the bag, please refer to the product information shown on this page.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned designer items are carefully reviewed by specialists using multiple points of inspection, such as materials, construction, hardware, stamps, date code details, and overall consistency. For Louis Vuitton pieces, the date code is only one part of the authentication process rather than the only indicator.
