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 Monogram Sologne Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 27 x 17 x 9 cm, this compact everyday bag comfortably fits daily essentials such as a large phone, a medium or continental wallet, keys, sunglasses, a passport and a small cosmetics pouch. It is best suited to essentials rather than bulky items.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: Yes. The Sologne is designed as a hands-free shoulder or crossbody style with an adjustable strap. This item has a listed strap measurement of 56 cm, which generally works well for crossbody wear on many people, though the exact fit will vary depending on height and preferred styling.
Q: How is the bag organised inside? A: This piece features a front flap with buckle closure, a brown canvas lining, one internal pocket and one external back pocket. It offers practical organisation for daily essentials while keeping the overall shape compact.
Q: What does the date code TH2088 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes indicate where and when a bag was made, rather than serving as a serial number. For this piece, TH2088 indicates production in France in the 28th week of 2008. As with all Louis Vuitton items, the date code is one helpful detail but should not be used as the only proof of authenticity.
Q: Is the Vachetta patina and the watermarks normal on a vintage Sologne? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton's natural Vachetta leather is untreated, so it gradually darkens and develops patina with age and use. Watermarks and light scuffing are common on vintage examples. For this specific bag, the exterior is noted as good, with visible patina, watermarks and scuffing to the Vachetta leather.
Q: How should I care for the Monogram canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Coated Monogram canvas can be wiped gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners, oils, perfumes, alcohol-based products and home remedies. The Vachetta leather should be kept as dry as possible and blotted promptly if it gets wet. To help preserve the shape, avoid overfilling and store the bag in a breathable fabric bag in a cool, ventilated space away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: Does this item come with any additional items? A: No additional items are included with this piece according to the product information.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is checked by specialists using a multi-point review of materials, construction, hardware, stamps, date code and overall consistency with the model. For vintage Louis Vuitton, the date code is only one part of the process, alongside the canvas, leather trim, stitching and finishing details.
