Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Saint Placide?
A: With approximate dimensions of 25 × 17 × 7 cm, it’s ideal for daily essentials: a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a long (continental) wallet, keys, lipstick, slim sunglasses in a soft case, and a small cosmetics pouch. Compact notebooks fit; small tablets and water bottles are generally too tall or bulky. Please refer to the Measurements shown on this page or contact us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.

Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the chain strap adjustable?
A: The sliding chain strap allows two carry options: doubled for shoulder wear (approx. 28 cm drop) or extended as a single chain for shoulder/high crossbody wear (approx. 51 cm drop). The chain is not adjustable by holes/buckles, but you can switch between double or single configuration to change the drop.

Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout?
A: The Saint Placide features an S‑lock (push‑lock) flap for good everyday security. Inside you’ll typically find red microfibre lining, one zipped compartment and a slip pocket to organise valuables. Our listing photos show the exact configuration of this piece.

Q: What materials and hardware does this model use?
A: This edition combines classic Monogram coated canvas with a red grained leather flap, gold‑tone hardware and a sliding chain with a leather shoulder pad for comfort. The lining is red microfibre.

Q: Is the Saint Placide still available in Louis Vuitton boutiques?
A: The Saint Placide is generally discontinued and no longer widely available at boutiques; it’s most often sourced on the pre‑loved market. Availability can vary by region and season, but for specific colourways like this red‑flap version, the resale market is the best route.

Q: How should I care for the coated canvas, leather flap and hardware?
A: Wipe coated canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately; avoid harsh chemicals. Keep the leather flap away from moisture, oils and colour‑transfer (dark denim). Use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly after testing on a discreet area. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; tuck the chain inside with a soft cloth/felt to prevent imprints and minimise hairline scratches on the hardware.

Q: Will the chain feel heavy or mark clothing?
A: The leather shoulder pad helps with comfort, but as with any chain strap, prolonged friction can cause minor impressions on delicate fabrics. To reduce marking, avoid overloading, position the leather pad on the shoulder, and protect the bag during storage with a soft cloth between chain and leather.

Q: Where is this piece made and what does the date code mean?
A: This bag is labelled Made in Spain and carries the date code CA2137. For Louis Vuitton items produced prior to the March 2021 microchip transition, the two letters indicate factory/country (CA = Spain) and the four numbers indicate week and year. CA2137 decodes to the 23rd week of 2017.

Q: What accessories are included with this item?
A: This listing is sold as the bag only; no accessories are included. Anything supplied (e.g., dust bag or box) would be listed under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm.

Q: How do you authenticate items at A Retro Tale?
A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional photos or details on request.
