Perfect for cocktails, date nights and city soirees, the Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Eva Clutch adds a polished touch to any ensemble. Its compact, refined silhouette moves effortlessly from daytime plans to dinner reservations, elevating both casual denim and little black dresses.
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: How big is the Eva and how can I wear it? A: This Eva measures approximately 25 × 13 × 2 cm with an estimated chain drop of about 20 cm and a leather shoulder/crossbody drop of about 60 cm. It can be worn crossbody with the leather strap, on the shoulder with the chain, carried as a wristlet by clipping the chain to one side, or used as a handheld clutch. The exterior is Louis Vuitton’s Damier Ebene coated canvas with gold-tone hardware and a red textile lining.
Q: What typically fits inside? A: Everyday essentials such as a large smartphone, a compact wallet or cardholder, keys, and a few small cosmetics (lipstick, compact, travel hand sanitiser) fit comfortably. Bulky items and hard sunglass cases are best avoided to maintain the slim profile—soft pouches work better.
Q: What straps are included and are they detachable? A: This piece includes a detachable leather shoulder strap and a chain strap, as listed under Accessories. The leather strap clips on and off for crossbody or shoulder wear. The chain can be used for shoulder carry or clipped to one side as a wristlet option.
Q: Is the chain fully removable? A: On many Eva models the chain is designed to clip on one end and is fixed on the other, so it is not always fully removable. This is normal for the style and allows quick conversion between wristlet, shoulder, and clutch carry.
Q: Is the Eva Clutch still made by Louis Vuitton? A: The classic Eva as shown here is widely regarded as discontinued at Louis Vuitton boutiques and is now found on the pre-loved market. Availability can vary over time via seasonal or regional releases, but the original Eva configuration is no longer a regular store item.
Q: What does the date code DU3017 mean? A: DU indicates a French workshop. In this format, the first and third numbers denote the week and the second and fourth the year. DU3017 typically means production in France in the 30th week of 2017. Date codes support dating but are not proof of authenticity on their own.
Q: Will a long continental wallet fit? A: A slim long wallet may fit, but it will significantly reduce capacity and can make the zip feel tight. Most users prefer a compact wallet or cardholder for the Eva’s streamlined shape.
Q: How should I care for the Damier Ebene canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth (a touch of mild soapy water if needed), then dry carefully. Avoid alcohol-based products, harsh chemicals, or oils. Store stuffed to hold shape, away from direct heat and sunlight, in a breathable dust bag.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton repair or replace parts like the strap or zip? A: Louis Vuitton offers repair services subject to assessment. Typical repairs include strap or hardware replacement and zip work; costs and lead times vary by case. You can request a repair estimate through their customer service or repair programme.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks across materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes, supported by specialist tools and industry knowledge. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
