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 Taurillon Astralis Weekend Bag? A: As a soft‑structured weekender, it carries everyday and short‑trip essentials with ease: smartphone, full‑size wallet, keys, slim sunglasses case, cosmetics/toiletry pouch, A4 documents/diary, an extra set of clothes and a small water bottle. Many owners also carry a 13‑inch laptop or an iPad Pro plus chargers. Capacity depends on how you pack—please refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a laptop or tablet? A: Most 13‑inch laptops and standard tablets fit comfortably. Slim 14–15‑inch devices may fit depending on sleeve thickness and the zip opening; very large 16‑inch laptops are typically a squeeze. Compare your device’s dimensions with the Measurements shown or ask us to perform a quick fit test for this item.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable or removable? Can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes—the Astralis includes a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap for shoulder or high crossbody wear, plus dual rolled top handles. We list the handle and strap drops under Measurements; if anything’s missing, just ask and we’ll confirm the exact carry options for you.
Q: How secure is the closure and does the padlock work? A: It features a zip‑top main compartment that provides good day‑to‑day security. The included padlock and keys can be used to secure the zipper pulls together (on suitable rings), adding a light deterrent while travelling; it does not make the bag theft‑proof. For valuables, we recommend using a small zip pouch inside.
Q: What is the interior layout? A: This piece has a dark brown suede lining with one internal slip pocket and a spacious main compartment. Our listing photos show the exact configuration of this bag.
Q: What is Taurillon leather and how does it feel? A: Taurillon is Louis Vuitton’s premium full‑grain calf leather with a naturally pebbled texture. It’s supple yet robust, offering a luxurious hand and excellent durability compared with smoother leathers. With proper care, it can develop a refined patina over time.
Q: How should I care for Taurillon leather, the suede lining and hardware? A: Keep the leather away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim—especially on light colours like beige. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth; use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly and test on a discreet area first. Keep the suede lining dry and avoid pens/liquids; if lightly soiled, gently brush with a clean suede brush. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid overfilling to preserve the zip and shape. Gold‑tone hardware can develop hairline scratches with normal use—avoid abrasive surfaces and protect hardware during storage.
Q: Is the Astralis Weekend Bag still produced? A: The Astralis is generally discontinued, so availability is limited to the pre‑loved market. Details can vary by season and year; our photos and description reflect the exact features of this item.
Q: Is it suitable as an airline carry‑on or under‑seat personal item? A: The Astralis’s footprint is typically cabin‑friendly and can fit under the seat when not overpacked. Airline allowances vary by carrier, so please compare our Measurements with your airline’s limits or ask us for guidance.
Q: Where are the brand markings and codes located, and how is dating handled? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton bags feature an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” and country of origin). Older models usually include a date code on a small leather tab or along an interior seam; from around 2021 LV transitioned to an embedded microchip instead of a visible code. Placement and format vary by era—we’re happy to share close‑up photos and help interpret the markings for this exact piece.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Included items are listed under “Accessories.” For this piece we note a shoulder strap, luggage tag, dust bag, padlock and keys. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
