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 Porte‑Documents Jour (Damier Graphite)? A: With approximate measurements of 37 × 28 × 7 cm, it’s designed for daily work essentials: large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses, pens, charger, an A5 diary and A4 documents/folders. Slim 13-inch laptops usually fit comfortably; many 14-inch devices fit if not in a bulky sleeve. For larger 15-inch laptops, fit depends on the exact device thickness and the zip opening—share your device dimensions and we’ll perform a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Does this listing include a shoulder strap? Can it be worn crossbody? A: The Porte‑Documents Jour model commonly came with a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap for shoulder or high crossbody wear, in addition to dual top handles. This specific listing states “no accessories,” so a strap is not included. The top handles have an approx. 12 cm drop for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The bag features a zip‑around main compartment for everyday security. Inside, you’ll typically find a textile lining with multiple organisational pockets (exact pocket configuration can vary slightly by production year). Many PDJ examples also include an external front zipped pocket for quick‑access items—please review our photos for the precise layout of this piece.
Q: How does the Porte‑Documents Jour compare with the Porte‑Documents Voyage? A: The Jour is the slimmer, more compact day‑to‑day briefcase, while the Voyage is larger and roomier for heavier carry. If you regularly transport a bigger laptop plus chargers and paperwork, some users prefer the Voyage; for streamlined commuting, the Jour is a popular choice.
Q: What is Damier Graphite canvas and how durable is it? A: Damier Graphite is Louis Vuitton’s checked coated canvas with black leather trim. Coated canvas is light yet robust and more resistant to surface wear and light moisture than many all‑leather bags, though it isn’t fully waterproof. Expect normal hairline scratches on hardware and light corner rubbing with use; avoid abrasive surfaces to keep edges sharp.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas, leather trim and hardware? A: Wipe the canvas occasionally with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Keep leather trim away from prolonged moisture, oils and dark denim that may transfer colour. Avoid harsh cleaners or alcohol‑based wipes. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; don’t hang by the handles for long periods. To minimise hardware micro‑scratches, keep it away from rough zips or keys when storing.
Q: Where was this bag made and what does the code “CA1155” mean? A: “CA” indicates a Spanish factory, aligning with the “Made in Spain” stamp on this piece. In the post‑2007 format, the digits decode to the 15th week of 2015. Note: From 2021 onwards, Louis Vuitton transitioned from visible date codes to embedded microchips, so newer items may not have a physical code.
Q: Is it suitable for flights and commuting? A: Yes—the compact profile fits easily under most airline seats and in overhead bins, and the zip closure keeps contents secure for daily travel. We recommend using a slim protective sleeve for laptops and keeping liquids upright inside a separate pouch.
Q: What is the condition of this pre‑loved piece? A: External: Very good with minor corner scuffing and light signs of use. Interior: Very good with light use, a slight vintage smell and a stain at the bottom lining. Hardware: Shiny with light scratches. Please review our photos for close‑ups of these notes.
Q: How does A Retro Tale guarantee authenticity? A: Every item undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, examining materials, stitching, heat‑stamps, date code/microchip era, hardware and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell. Everything included with this listing is shown under “Accessories.”
