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: Will this Louis Vuitton Shoulder Strap work with my bag? A: Yes—its dual lobster clasps attach to bags that have side D‑rings or dedicated strap loops. It is suitable for many Louis Vuitton models designed for straps and can also be used with non‑LV bags that feature comparable hardware. Please check your bag for secure rings and clear attachment points before use.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: The strap is adjustable and can be worn on the shoulder or as a short crossbody depending on your height and preferred drop. Many users find full crossbody most comfortable when a strap adjusts to around 100–120 cm; please refer to the Measurements on this page and test the fit to your frame.
Q: How comfortable is the strap in daily use? A: The strap is 4 cm wide, which helps distribute weight evenly and reduce shoulder pressure compared with narrower straps. The textile construction adds flexibility while the leather trim provides structure and durability.
Q: How do I attach it correctly? A: Clip each lobster clasp to the bag’s D‑rings, ensuring the clasps fully close and face the same direction. Avoid attaching to handles or hardware not intended for straps, and check your bag’s rings for wear before carrying heavier contents.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is shown under the product information on this page. As listed, no extras are included—this listing is for the strap itself.
Q: How should I clean and care for the strap? A: For the textile/canvas portion, gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soapy water, then dry immediately. For the leather trim, use a suitable neutral leather conditioner sparingly and avoid harsh chemicals or prolonged sun/heat. Store loosely coiled in a breathable dust bag, away from moisture.
Q: Will the gold‑tone hardware match my LV bag’s hardware? A: Louis Vuitton commonly uses gold‑tone hardware across its collections. While shade and finish can vary slightly between seasons and materials, this strap’s gold‑tone clasps are designed to coordinate with most LV bags.
Q: Does this strap have a date code or microchip? A: Vintage and earlier pieces may feature date codes stamped on a leather tab; since 2021, many Louis Vuitton items transitioned to embedded microchips instead of visible date codes. Depending on production year, your strap may have a date code, a microchip, or neither visibly present.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every piece is evaluated by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and production codes, supported by brand‑specific knowledge and professional tools. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional details on request.
Q: What should I expect from the condition? A: This vintage strap is graded Very Good, showing light traces of use. The textile and leather trim are clean with minor signs of wear, and the gold‑tone hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches, consistent with careful, occasional use.
