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 is the Louis Vuitton Monogram Denim Sunbeam and when was it released? A: The Sunbeam is a limited-edition tote from Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2010 collection. It features ombré Monogram denim, natural vachetta leather trim, gold-tone hardware and contrasting canvas top handles, with a soft microfibre (Alcantara) interior. It was produced in several gradient colourways and is now discontinued, so it appears on the pre-owned market rather than in current LV stores.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 48 × 36 × 15 cm, it comfortably fits a 15–16 inch laptop, A4 documents or a large diary, a water bottle, umbrella, cosmetic pouch and a light jumper, with a slip pocket for small items. Capacity depends on how you pack; avoid overfilling to preserve the bag’s shape.
Q: How is it carried? Does it come with a shoulder strap? A: This piece is designed with dual canvas top handles and is best carried by hand or in the crook of the arm. The handle drop is about 14 cm. It does not include a detachable shoulder strap.
Q: What materials are used and how do they wear over time? A: The body is a jacquard Monogram denim with an ombré gradient, trimmed with natural vachetta leather and finished with gold-tone hardware. The denim has a soft, casual feel and may show wear at edges with heavy use. Vachetta is untreated cowhide that naturally develops a honey patina and can darken with exposure to water, oils and sunlight.
Q: How should I care for the denim and vachetta leather? A: Keep the bag dry and away from direct sunlight and heat. Wipe denim gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed; never machine-wash. Avoid alcohol- or oil-based products (including sanitisers and perfumes) on or near the bag. For vachetta, avoid rain and moisture to prevent water spots; clean lightly with a soft cloth only, and consider professional care for stains. Store stuffed in a breathable dust bag in a cool, ventilated place.
Q: Will the colour transfer to or from clothing? A: As with most dyed textiles, there is a risk of dye transfer. Dark denim garments can rub onto light-coloured bags, and coloured denim bags can transfer onto pale clothing, especially with friction or when damp. To minimise risk, avoid prolonged contact with dark, unwashed denim, keep the bag dry and wipe gently if exposed to rain.
Q: What does the date code FO3170 indicate on this piece? A: Louis Vuitton used letter-and-number date codes until 2021. FO denotes a factory in Italy. For codes from 2007–2021, the first and third digits show the week and the second and fourth digits show the year. Therefore, 3-7-1-0 decodes to the 37th week of 2010, made in Italy.
Q: Is this style still produced by Louis Vuitton? A: No. The Sunbeam was a seasonal limited edition from 2010 and is no longer in current production. Availability is through trusted vintage and pre-owned sources.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing is sold as seen with no accessories. If an item such as a dust bag, box or lock is not listed in the Accessories section, it is not included.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can provide additional information or photos on request.
