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 Damier Ebene Sologne? A: With approximate measurements of 26 × 18 × 7 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: large smartphone, continental or compact wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, wireless earbuds and a small cosmetics pouch. An A5 diary/notebook fits; a small 330 ml water bottle can lie horizontally at a pinch. For an exact fit check, share your item’s dimensions and we’ll test this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or A4 documents? A: Compact tablets (e.g., iPad mini/Kindle) may fit horizontally without a bulky case; 11‑inch tablets and A4 documents (29.7 × 21 cm) generally do not fit flat due to the 18 cm height and flap opening. We’re happy to verify a specific device for you.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes—this model has a single adjustable shoulder strap. With an approximate 55 cm drop, it wears comfortably on the shoulder and as a high crossbody for many wearers; taller frames may find it sits higher. If you prefer extra length, third‑party strap extenders exist—use quality hardware and avoid overloading to protect the bag.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the pocket layout? A: The Sologne features a flap top with belt‑and‑buckle closure for everyday security. Organisation is practical: a rear exterior slip pocket for quick‑access items, a flat pocket under the flap, and a main compartment with a zipped pocket inside the red fabric lining. Our photos show the exact configuration of this piece.
Q: What is Damier Ebene canvas and how durable is it? A: Damier Ebene is Louis Vuitton’s brown checkerboard coated canvas paired with dark brown treated leather trim. The canvas is lightweight, water‑resistant and highly durable, and the treated leather is lower‑maintenance than natural vachetta, making this combination well‑suited to everyday wear.
Q: Is it waterproof? A: The coated canvas is water‑resistant, but the bag is not fully waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and prolonged moisture; if it gets lightly damp, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow it to air‑dry away from heat.
Q: How should I care for the canvas, leather and hardware? A: Wipe canvas and leather with a soft, dry cloth; avoid alcohol‑based or abrasive cleaners. Condition smooth leather sparingly and only after testing on a discreet area. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag. Hardware can show fine hairline scratches and natural tarnish with age—minimise friction during storage and avoid harsh polishes.
Q: Is the Sologne still produced? A: The Sologne is generally considered a discontinued/vintage style and is now found primarily on the pre‑loved market. Availability and details can vary by production year.
Q: What does the date code TH00265 indicate? A: “TH” denotes manufacture in France. Louis Vuitton used several date‑code formats up to 2021; numbers typically indicate the month/year (1990–2006) or week/year (2007–2021). Date codes are not unique serial numbers and, on their own, don’t authenticate a bag. From 2021 onward LV transitioned to embedded microchips rather than visible codes. If you’d like, we can confirm the precise interpretation and placement for this exact piece.
Q: What accessories are included and how is authenticity guaranteed? A: This listing states no accessories are included. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts—assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code/microchip era and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
