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 this Louis Vuitton Monogram Vintage Bucket Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 30 × 40 × 16 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as an A4 notebook/diary, long wallet, phone, keys, a cosmetics pouch and a water bottle. A slim 13-inch laptop can fit upright in a protective sleeve; due to the drawstring opening, we recommend a sleeve and not overfilling. Capacity will vary depending on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable and what is the drop? A: Yes. This style features a single flat adjustable shoulder strap with buckle. On this piece, the drop is about 27 cm in its current setting and can be adjusted to sit higher or lower on the shoulder for comfort, even over light outerwear.
Q: Does this listing include a detachable pouch or any other items? A: Some vintage Louis Vuitton Bucket PM/MM models were originally sold with a small zipped pouch attached by a chain. For this listing, everything included is stated under the product information; it currently indicates that no extra items are included.
Q: How durable is the Monogram canvas and how should I clean it? A: Louis Vuitton’s coated Monogram canvas is hard-wearing and easy to wipe clean. Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth for routine cleaning and avoid alcohol-based products, solvents, oils or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the coating. Allow the bag to dry naturally away from direct heat.
Q: What should I know about the Vachetta leather trim? A: Vachetta is untreated natural cowhide that develops a honey patina over time. It is sensitive to water and oils and may show marks. If it gets wet, gently blot immediately with a light-coloured absorbent cloth. Avoid conditioners, oils or home remedies, which may darken or weaken the leather. Store away from sunlight and humidity to preserve its colour and shape.
Q: Are vintage Louis Vuitton bucket bags prone to sticky or peeling interiors? A: Some vintage models used a vinyl-based lining that can become sticky or peel with age. This particular piece has a brown textile lining, as noted in our product information, so that known issue does not apply here. Always check the listing photos and notes for the exact interior material and condition.
Q: Can the drawstring be replaced if it wears out? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton may offer repairs depending on parts availability and the bag’s age. Alternatively, reputable leather specialists can craft a matching replacement drawstring. Lead times and costs vary by provider, so we recommend contacting your preferred service for a quote.
Q: Where might the date code be located on this model? A: Placement varies by year and model. On many older Noé/bucket styles, it is stamped on a small leather tab near the strap attachment or along an interior seam. The presence and format of a code depend on the production period; not every vintage bag will have one visible.
Q: Does this bag have any noticeable odour? A: Our product information notes a slight vintage smell inside. This typically airs out over time; to speed this up, store the bag loosely stuffed with acid-free tissue in a cool, dry place and consider a neutral odour absorber (avoid fragranced sprays or harsh deodorisers).
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is carefully verified by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, heat stamps, hardware and date codes where present. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional photos or details on request.
