Its medium, zip‑top tote silhouette keeps essentials secure while lending timeless LV polish to any look.
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 Cabas Piano? A: With approximate measurements of 33 × 24 × 12 cm and a strap drop of about 22 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a compact umbrella, a small water bottle and a tablet such as an iPad or Kindle. It is not designed for A4 folders or a 13-inch laptop.
Q: Is the Cabas Piano discontinued? A: Yes. The Cabas line (Piano, Mezzo and Alto) was discontinued around 2008–2009, so pieces like this are considered vintage on today’s market.
Q: Is this the same as Louis Vuitton’s 2024 “Piano” bag? A: No. The 2024 Piano is a new design that reimagines the name with a different silhouette and handle construction. This piece is the earlier Cabas Piano tote with a secure zip top and dual flat shoulder straps.
Q: How does the Piano compare to the Mezzo and Alto sizes? A: The Piano is the smallest of the three and best for daily essentials. The Mezzo is a larger everyday tote, while the Alto is the largest and was produced without a top zip. If you routinely carry A4 paperwork, the Mezzo or another larger LV tote is usually a better choice.
Q: What does the date code VI0021 mean? A: VI denotes manufacture in France. For codes used from 1990 to 2006, the first and third digits show the month and the second and fourth digits show the year; 0021 decodes to February 2001.
Q: What are the materials and are they water-resistant? A: The body is Louis Vuitton’s Monogram coated canvas, which is durable and water-resistant. The trim and straps are natural Vachetta leather; this leather is untreated, develops a honey patina over time and can show watermarks if exposed to moisture.
Q: How should I care for and store this vintage piece? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid soaps or solvents. Keep Vachetta leather dry and away from prolonged sunlight or heat. When not in use, stuff the bag lightly and store it in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place.
Q: Can it be worn on the shoulder? A: Yes. The dual flat straps with an approximate 22 cm drop are designed for comfortable shoulder carry.
Q: What is included with this item? A: This piece comes with a dust bag. Everything included is listed in the product information section on this page.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is examined by in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
