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 Damier Ebene Beaumarchais? A: With an approx. 25 × 18.5 × 9.5 cm interior, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, wireless earbuds and a small cosmetics pouch. An A5 diary/notebook fits; A4 documents do not lie flat. A 330 ml bottle can lie horizontally; a 500 ml bottle generally won’t stand upright. If you’d like, we can perform a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit a tablet or e‑reader? A: Compact tablets/e‑readers up to around 8 inches may fit when placed horizontally without a bulky case. Larger devices (e.g., 11‑inch iPad) are typically too tall due to the 18.5 cm height and the structured flap. Share your device’s dimensions and we’ll test the fit for you.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes. This bag includes a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap with an approx. 52 cm drop for shoulder or high crossbody wear, plus a single top handle with an approx. 9 cm drop for hand or crook‑of‑arm carry. If you’re taller or wearing heavier outerwear, expect a higher‑sitting crossbody fit.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Beaumarchais features a flap top with a buckle closure for everyday security. Inside, there’s a black microfibre lining with one internal pocket to organise smaller items. We recommend using a slim zip pouch for valuables when commuting or travelling.
Q: What materials and hardware does this piece have? A: It’s crafted from Damier Ebene coated canvas with contrasting black and tan leather trim and gold‑tone hardware. Coated canvas is durable and water‑resistant; the leather trim and hardware benefit from mindful care to minimise scuffs and colour transfer.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene coated canvas, leather trim and hardware? A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately; avoid harsh chemicals. Keep leather away from moisture, oils and prolonged sunlight, and be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim onto lighter leather accents. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; avoid hanging it by the strap long‑term. Hardware can develop fine hairline scratches with normal use—avoid contact with abrasive surfaces and buff gently with a soft cloth only.
Q: When was this bag produced and what does the code CA5109 mean? A: Louis Vuitton used date codes prior to its 2021 transition to embedded microchips. The code “CA5109” indicates late 2019 production (week 50 of 2019). Placement varies by model—often on a small leather tab or along an interior seam. We’re happy to provide close‑ups on request.
Q: Is the Beaumarchais still produced? A: The Beaumarchais was introduced around 2018–2019 and is generally considered discontinued; it’s now found primarily on the pre‑loved market. Availability, colours and small details can vary by production year.
Q: What accessories are included with this specific listing and how is authenticity ensured? A: For this item we include: luggage tag and detachable shoulder strap (see “Accessories”). If an accessory isn’t listed there, it isn’t 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.
