Its structured top‑handle silhouette keeps essentials neatly organised while adding a bold pop to any smart‑casual look.
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 Murakami Trouville? A: With measurements of approximately 28 × 21 × 11 cm, it’s ideal for daily essentials: large smartphone, compact or continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, earbuds and a small cosmetics pouch. An A5 diary fits; A4 documents do not lie flat. Compact tablets and some 11-inch devices can often fit horizontally without a bulky case, though the curved zip opening makes thicker cases snug. If you’d like a tailored fit check for a specific item, just ask and we’ll test this exact piece.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder or crossbody? Does it come with a strap? A: The Trouville was designed as a structured top‑handle bag and originally did not include a long shoulder/crossbody strap. Handle drop on this piece is about 7.5 cm for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. Some owners use aftermarket strap converters, but these are not part of the original design and may affect long‑term condition; we don’t recommend modifications for collectible pieces.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: It features a two‑way zip‑around main compartment for secure daily use and a front slip pocket for quick‑access items. Inside, the Multicolore Trouville typically has a red Alcantara (microfibre) lining with patch pockets (including a phone/utility pocket) to keep smaller items organised. Layout can vary slightly by year—please refer to our photos for the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What exactly is the Monogram Multicolore print? A: Monogram Multicolore was created with artist Takashi Murakami and debuted in Spring/Summer 2003. The classic LV monogram was reimagined in 33 vibrant colours on white or black coated canvas. The line was discontinued in 2015, making Multicolore pieces particularly sought after on the pre‑loved market.
Q: Is the print durable? Will the colours chip or rub off? A: The Multicolore motif is silk‑screened onto coated canvas. The canvas itself is very robust, but the coloured motifs can show wear at high‑friction points over time. Avoid abrasive surfaces, frequent rubbing against coarse fabrics, and harsh cleaners/solvents. Store and carry the bag dry; as with any light canvas, be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim and saturated fabrics.
Q: How should I care for the vachetta leather and hardware? A: Vachetta is natural, vegetable‑tanned leather that develops a honey patina. Keep it away from water, oils and prolonged sunlight; if it gets lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry. For routine care, wipe with a clean, dry cloth and condition sparingly with a high‑quality neutral product after testing on a discreet spot. Hardware can show hairline scratches and oxidation with use—avoid abrasive polishes that may remove plating; simply buff gently with a soft cloth.
Q: Is the Trouville model still produced? A: No. The Trouville and the Multicolore line are discontinued. Today they’re available through trusted vintage and pre‑loved specialists like A Retro Tale.
Q: What does the date code MI0065 mean on this bag? A: Pre‑2021 Louis Vuitton bags carry a date code indicating where and when they were made. “MI” denotes manufacture in France; in the 1990–2006 format, the first and third digits indicate the month and the second and fourth the year—so “0065” decodes to June 2005. Note: a correct date code alone does not authenticate a bag; it’s one of many checkpoints we assess.
Q: Where will I find the date code on a Trouville? A: On Trouville bags it’s commonly stamped on a small leather tab inside a pocket or directly onto the Alcantara lining along a seam. Placement can vary by year and production batch; we’re happy to provide close‑ups for this exact piece on request.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Everything included is listed under “Accessories” for each item. This listing states no accessories. Some Trouville examples originally came with a padlock and two keys, but if these aren’t listed here, they’re not included. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps/date code and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton service or repair a vintage Multicolore Trouville? A: Louis Vuitton offers repairs subject to in‑store assessment and parts availability. For very vintage/discontinued styles, specific parts (e.g., certain hardware or canvas) may no longer be available; in some cases LV will not service cracked canvas. Many clients use reputable independent luxury leather specialists for vachetta or hardware work. We’re happy to advise on typical options and help you prepare for an in‑store assessment if desired.
