Ideal for office-to-evening transitions, the Louis Vuitton Volta in black Taurillon leather brings understated polish to tailored looks and refined weekend wear. Perfect for client meetings, gallery openings or dinner in the city, it offers elegant practicality whether carried by the handle or worn on the shoulder.
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 Volta Taurillon Bag? A: With approximate measurements of 28 × 28 × 10 cm, it’s ideal for daily essentials: a large smartphone (including most Pro/Max models), a continental wallet or cardholder, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, wireless earbuds and a small cosmetics pouch. An A5 diary/notebook fits comfortably; a compact 250–330 ml water bottle may fit, while a 500 ml bottle is generally too tall. Capacity can vary slightly by production year and interior configuration—please refer to the Measurements on this page or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or A4 documents? A: Slim tablets (e.g., iPad Air/11‑inch iPad Pro) typically fit when placed horizontally without a bulky case, though the flap/push‑lock opening makes thicker devices snug. A4 documents (29.7 × 21 cm) do not lie completely flat due to the 28 cm width; an A4 folder will usually require angling. Share your device’s dimensions and we’ll test the fit in this specific bag.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes—the Volta includes a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap (approx. 51 cm drop on this listing) for shoulder or high crossbody wear. The single top handle has an approximate 12 cm drop for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. If you’d like exact wearable lengths, just ask and we’ll advise based on your height and preferred carry.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: The flap top closes with an LV push‑lock clasp for everyday security. Inside, you’ll find a suede‑like lining with two main compartments and a zipped pocket to keep valuables organised. There’s also an exterior back slip pocket for quick‑access items such as travel cards or receipts. Our photos show the exact layout of this piece.
Q: Is it heavy to carry? A: Crafted in full‑grain Taurillon leather with metal hardware, the Volta is structured and mid‑weight—comfortable for day‑to‑evening use for most wearers. If weight is a concern, we’re happy to provide the precise scale weight for this exact bag on request.
Q: What is Taurillon leather? A: Taurillon is Louis Vuitton’s luxurious, pebbled full‑grain calfskin. It’s soft to the touch yet robust, with a refined grain that hides light surface marks better than smoother leathers. As with all natural leathers, it isn’t waterproof; mindful use helps minimise corner wear over time.
Q: How should I care for the Taurillon leather and hardware? A: Keep the bag away from heavy rain, oils and prolonged sunlight. If lightly wet, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Dust with a clean, dry cloth; use a high‑quality neutral leather conditioner very sparingly and only after testing on a discreet area. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid hanging by the strap for long periods. To minimise impressions, pad the clasp/strap during storage; hardware can show fine hairline scratches with normal use—avoid abrasive surfaces.
Q: Is the Volta still produced? A: The Taurillon Volta was primarily released around the mid‑2010s and is generally considered discontinued. Availability today is through the pre‑loved market, where colours and interior details can vary slightly by year.
Q: What does the date code DR5105 mean? A: Louis Vuitton used letter‑and‑number date codes prior to its transition to embedded microchips around 2021. “DR5105” indicates French manufacture (“DR”) in the 50th week of 2015. Date codes are not unique serial numbers and are only one of many authenticity indicators our experts review.
Q: Where are the brand markings and what accessories are included? A: Authentic LV bags have an interior heat‑stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris” and country of origin) and, for pieces of this era, a discreet date code on or within an interior pocket. Everything included with this specific bag is listed under “Accessories”—for this listing, a detachable shoulder strap is included. If a dust bag, box or other items aren’t mentioned there, they are not included. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps/date code and overall construction—we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
