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 are the key features of the Louis Vuitton Monogram Evasion bag? A: The Evasion is a vintage travel bag crafted from Louis Vuitton’s Monogram canvas with natural Vachetta leather trim. It has dual rolled top handles, a zip‑around main opening, an external zipped compartment designed for shoes, and a light-coloured textile lining with interior slip storage. Hardware is gold‑tone and the silhouette is more squared than a typical duffel, making it practical for short trips.
Q: What typically fits inside this Evasion? A: With approximate measurements of 38 × 36 × 24 cm, it comfortably holds outfits for a 1–2 night getaway, toiletries, and travel essentials. Many users also carry a laptop or documents in a protective sleeve. The dedicated external compartment helps keep shoes or gym kit separate from clothing, improving organisation and hygiene while travelling.
Q: Is the Evasion generally suitable as airline carry‑on luggage? A: Yes—its compact footprint was designed with cabin travel in mind and is often accepted as carry‑on. Policies do vary by airline and aircraft, so we recommend checking your specific carrier’s size limits before flying to avoid gate‑check surprises.
Q: Does this model come with a shoulder strap? A: No. The classic Evasion is a handheld travel bag without D‑rings for a strap. It is meant to be carried by its rolled leather handles; the handle drop on this piece is approximately 10 cm.
Q: What is the external zipped compartment intended for? A: It is a separate shoe compartment, ideal for keeping footwear or worn items apart from clothing. It also works well for sports gear, laundry, or other items you want quick access to without opening the main section.
Q: Is the Evasion still produced by Louis Vuitton? A: The Monogram Evasion is a discontinued model and is now found on the pre‑owned market. Its rarity and practical layout make it a sought‑after vintage travel piece.
Q: How should I care for the materials on this vintage bag? A: Monogram coated canvas is hard‑wearing and can be wiped with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dried immediately. Vachetta leather is untreated and water‑sensitive; avoid rain, oils, and alcohol‑based cleaners, and expect a natural patina to develop over time. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to maintain shape and colour. Occasional gentle conditioning of the Vachetta can help prevent dryness—always spot‑test first.
Q: What does the date code VI0090 mean on this item? A: VI indicates manufacture in France. For codes used circa 1990–2006, the first and third digits show the month and the second and fourth digits show the year. Therefore, VI0090 decodes to September 2000, made in France.
Q: What accessories are included with this specific bag? A: This piece is sold as shown with no accessories. Anything included with an item is listed in the Accessories section of this page; if an accessory is not listed, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every piece undergoes rigorous, multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts, including materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps, and date code review. Please note a date code alone does not guarantee authenticity; it is assessed alongside the bag’s overall construction and details.
