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 Messenger Voyage Waterproof? A: With dimensions of approximately 33 cm wide, 27 cm high and 15 cm deep, this messenger is a practical medium-sized bag for daily commute or travel. It comfortably holds a 13-inch laptop (without a bulky sleeve), a tablet, an A5 notebook, a continental wallet, a water bottle and other daily essentials. The internal capacity is generous, but we recommend checking your specific device dimensions against the measurements provided on this page.
Q: Is the bag completely waterproof? A: This model was originally engineered with high-tech heat-welded seams and a heavy-duty submersible zipper to provide complete water protection. However, as this is a vintage piece, we advise treating it as highly weather-resistant (perfect for heavy rain) rather than fully submersible, as the rubber seals and technical materials can age over time.
Q: Why is the zipper stiff to open and close? A: The stiffness is a characteristic feature of this specific model, not a defect. It uses a professional-grade waterproof zipper designed to create an airtight and watertight seal, which creates more resistance than a standard handbag zip. Opening and closing it regularly helps, and it can be maintained with a small amount of zipper wax if needed.
Q: Can I wear this bag crossbody? A: Yes, it features a wide, adjustable shoulder strap designed for comfort, even when the bag is fully loaded. It can be worn on the shoulder or across the body for hands-free convenience. The strap drop is adjustable to suit different heights.
Q: What materials is this bag made from? A: It is crafted from Louis Vuitton’s durable Monogram coated canvas, accented with black waterproof tape/rubberised leather trim and matte black hardware. The interior is lined in a durable brown textile.
Q: How should I care for the waterproof zipper and materials? A: To keep the zipper functioning smoothly, keep it free of grit and dust. If it becomes difficult to move, a specific zipper lubricant or wax can be applied sparingly. Clean the canvas and rubberised trim with a soft, damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or oil-based cleaners that could degrade the waterproof coating.
Q: Why is the "Made in" label different from other LV bags? A: While many Louis Vuitton items are made in France, Spain or the USA, this technical waterproof line was frequently manufactured in Germany. A "Made in Germany" stamp is correct and authentic for this specific model.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts. We perform multi-point checks on materials, construction (including the specific heat-welded seams of this line), hardware, and codes. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
Q: What accessories are included? A: This listing includes the dust bag and the luggage tag. If an accessory (like a box or receipt) is not listed under the “Accessories” section, it is not included.
