An elegant choice for city days that turn into dinner, this Louis Vuitton Lockme II BB in black Taurillon leather moves effortlessly from work to weekend. Style it crossbody with the leather strap for daytime errands, then switch to the chain strap for evening plans, while the LV turn‑lock keeps your essentials secure.
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 bag’s dimensions and what will it hold day to day? A: The Lockme II BB is a compact flap bag measuring approximately 23 × 17 × 8 cm. It comfortably fits a large smartphone, small or compact wallet, keys, sunglasses (soft case), and a few small essentials. It will not fit an A5 diary or a full‑size tablet; slimmer items like a passport or cardholder fit easily. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: How can I carry this bag? A: It can be hand‑carried by the chain handle, worn on the shoulder, or crossbody using the leather shoulder strap. The top handle drop is about 9 cm and the shoulder strap drop is about 55 cm, as listed under Measurements, giving versatile carry options for most heights.
Q: Is the chain handle removable? A: The short chain handle is fixed for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. The long leather strap is detachable, allowing you to switch between shoulder/crossbody and handheld looks.
Q: How does the LV turn‑lock work and is it secure? A: The LV clasp is a mechanical turn‑lock: rotate the LV to open and rotate back to secure the flap. It provides a secure closure for daily use. As with all plated hardware, light scratches from normal use are common over time—avoid contact with abrasive surfaces to minimise this.
Q: What is Taurillon leather and how does it wear? A: Taurillon is a supple, grained calf leather known for its soft hand and slightly pebbled texture. It is generally resilient and less prone to visible fine scratches than smoother leathers, while still benefiting from mindful care. Expect normal signs of wear on high‑friction areas like corners over time.
Q: How should I care for Taurillon leather on this bag? A: Wipe gently with a clean, soft cloth; keep it dry and avoid oils, solvents and alcohol‑based products. Store it stuffed to maintain shape, in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim or heavily dyed fabrics, especially on lighter leathers.
Q: What does the date code FL4135 mean on this piece? A: FL indicates a French workshop. For this 2010s format, the first and third digits indicate the week and the second and fourth digits the year. “4135” decodes to week 43 of 2015, which aligns with the Made in France stamp noted for this bag.
Q: Does it fit a long continental wallet? A: Many slim continental wallets (around 19 cm long) fit horizontally; very bulky zip‑around styles may be snug depending on what else you carry. Checking your wallet dimensions against the bag’s width and interior configuration is the safest approach.
Q: Are there side snaps or gussets to adjust the capacity? A: Yes. The Lockme II BB features side gussets with snaps, allowing you to slightly expand or streamline the silhouette depending on what you carry.
Q: What is included with this item and how is authenticity ensured? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section for this listing; for this piece, a box and dust bag are included. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, covering materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes, so you can purchase with confidence.
