This limited-edition Louis Vuitton Ailleurs Escale Cabas PM in multicolour printed canvas with blue leather trim and gold-tone hardware is in good condition.

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 makes the Louis Vuitton Ailleurs Escale Cabas PM special? A: This is a limited-edition Louis Vuitton tote from the Ailleurs summer collection, released in 2011. The Escale design is the beach-inspired print from the range, making it a playful collector’s piece as well as a practical vintage tote.
Q: What size is this bag, and what typically fits inside? A: This bag measures approximately 40 x 26 x 16 cm, so it suits everyday essentials comfortably. You can expect room for items such as a long wallet, phone, sunglasses, a small cosmetic pouch, a water bottle and a paperback or compact tablet. For larger devices, we recommend comparing them with the measurements shown on this page.
Q: Can this tote be carried on the shoulder? A: Yes. It has dual flat shoulder straps and an approximate handle drop of 25 cm, which should allow comfortable shoulder wear for most people.
Q: Does this bag have any internal organisation or a top closure? A: This specific piece is listed with an open top and a monogram-printed canvas lining with one internal zip pocket. That gives you quick access to your belongings while still offering one secure compartment inside.
Q: Is this more of a beach bag or an everyday tote? A: The design is inspired by a beach holiday theme, but in practical terms it works well as a roomy everyday tote. As it is a vintage limited-edition piece, most buyers choose to use it more carefully than a carefree poolside or sand bag.
Q: How should I care for the printed canvas and leather trim? A: Gentle care is best. Wipe the canvas with a soft, lightly damp cloth, avoid harsh cleaners, lotions and solvents, and keep the bag away from prolonged heat, strong sunlight and moisture. It is also best not to overfill it, as that helps preserve the shape and reduces stress on the straps and trim.
Q: What does the date code RC0171 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this period indicate place and time of manufacture. RC corresponds to Italy, and the numbers indicate the 7th week of 2011. Date codes are useful for age and origin, but they are only one part of a full authentication assessment.
Q: What is the condition of this particular bag? A: It is listed in good condition with light traces of use on the exterior. The lining has stains, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. As with many vintage printed canvas bags, light age-related wear is normal and should be reviewed in the product photos.
Q: What is included with this item? A: No additional items are listed with this piece, so it should be considered bag only unless otherwise stated in the product information.
Q: How is this bag authenticated? A: At A Retro Tale, pre-owned luxury items are vetted by specialists who assess details such as materials, construction, hardware, stamps and date-code consistency. If you would like extra reassurance about this particular piece, customer care can provide further product information.
