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 Monogram Blois? A: With approximate dimensions of 25 × 18 × 12 cm, it comfortably carries daily essentials: a large smartphone, a compact wallet or slim continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, AirPods and a small cosmetics pouch. A compact tablet or e‑reader may fit when placed horizontally; A4 documents and full‑size tablets generally do not.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes. The Blois features a single adjustable shoulder strap designed for shoulder or crossbody wear. On this specific piece the strap measures around 120 cm (approx.), which suits most wearers for crossbody carry. If you’d like an exact fit check, just ask and we’ll advise based on your height and preferred drop.
Q: Is the strap removable? A: The strap is adjustable but not designed to be detached. If you require strap repairs or replacement, this is typically handled by a professional assessment through Louis Vuitton or a trusted leather specialist.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: The Blois has a zip‑top main compartment for everyday security, plus one exterior slip pocket and one interior slip pocket to organise smaller items. Our listing photos show the exact layout of this piece.
Q: What materials is this model made from and how will they age? A: Classic Blois bags are crafted in Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. The interior is typically a brown cross‑grain leather. Vachetta is untreated and will develop a honey patina over time; contact with water and oils can darken it more quickly.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas and Vachetta leather? A: Keep the bag dry and away from heavy rain. If lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Clean coated canvas gently with a dry, soft cloth; condition smooth leather sparingly with a suitable neutral product after testing a discreet area. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto the leather trim.
Q: Is the Blois still produced? A: The Blois is generally considered a discontinued vintage style and is most readily found on the pre‑loved market rather than in current boutiques.
Q: What does the date code BA0023 mean on this bag? A: “BA” indicates production in France. For codes used circa 1990–2006, the first and third numbers denote the month and the second and fourth the year—so “BA0023” decodes to February 2003. Note that from around 2021 Louis Vuitton transitioned from visible date codes to embedded microchips; date codes are one clue among many and not sole proof of authenticity.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes 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 and can provide additional photos or details on request.
Q: What accessories are included with this bag? A: Any included items are listed under “Accessories.” For this specific piece, no accessories are listed. If you need confirmation, just ask and we’ll verify for you.
