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 Riverside? A: With approximate dimensions of 35 × 24.5 × 15 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials such as a long wallet, phone, cosmetics pouch, glasses case and a small umbrella. It also fits most 13-inch laptops and A4 documents when placed horizontally; we recommend a protective sleeve as the bag is not padded. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: The Riverside features a red microfibre-lined interior divided into three sections, with a central zipped compartment and open compartments on either side. There are additional slip pockets for smaller items, making it practical for work or everyday use.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The side compartments have a magnetic closure for quick access, while the central divider is zipped for valuables. Many owners use pouches for smaller items to keep things tidy and secure inside.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder or crossbody? A: Yes, it includes a detachable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 40 cm for comfortable shoulder carry. The dual rolled handles (about 15 cm drop) are ideal for hand or crook-of-arm carry. The strap length is typically better for shoulder wear than true crossbody for most heights.
Q: Does it have an exterior pocket and base feet? A: Yes, the Riverside usually includes an exterior slip pocket for quick-grab items and protective metal feet to help the bag stand upright and reduce base wear.
Q: What is it made from and how durable is it? A: It is crafted from Damier Ebene coated canvas with grained leather trim and gold-tone hardware, finished with a signature LV charm. Coated canvas is lightweight, water-resistant and very durable, while the treated leather trim is more resistant to watermarks than untreated vachetta. Normal care will keep it looking its best.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene coated canvas and leather trim? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water if needed, then dry with a clean cloth. Avoid alcohol-based products, oils, solvents and harsh cleaners on both canvas and leather. Store the bag stuffed to maintain its shape and keep it in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight and humidity.
Q: What does the date code DU3189 mean? A: DU indicates a French factory code. For this format, the first and third digits show the production week and the second and fourth digits show the year. DU3189 therefore corresponds to week 38 of 2019 in France. Note that since 2021, Louis Vuitton has transitioned from printed date codes to embedded microchips on new items; a date code alone is not proof of authenticity. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated by our experts before listing.
Q: What items are included with this piece? A: Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page. For this item, that is the box, dust bag, brand booklet, detachable shoulder strap and receipt.
