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 in the Trio Messenger? A: With approximate measurements of 25 × 20 × 5 cm, it comfortably carries a smartphone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, passport, slim sunglasses case, and small essentials. The main pouch suits an 8-inch tablet such as an iPad mini or a Kindle. It is not designed for letter/A4 documents or bulky water bottles—please refer to the Measurements on this page for precise sizing.
Q: Will it fit an 11-inch iPad or a small laptop? A: No. Based on the height and width, most 10–11 inch tablets and all laptops are too large. Compact tablets around 8 inches fit best, along with daily essentials.
Q: Are the extra pouches removable and usable on their own? A: Yes. This model is a three-in-one design: a main zipped pouch, a detachable zipped front pouch, and a removable coin purse that can clip onto the strap or be used separately for coins, cards, or earbuds. You can reconfigure or remove pieces to travel lighter.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be removed? A: Yes. It comes with a removable textile shoulder strap that is adjustable for crossbody or shoulder wear. The drop on this specific piece is approximately 58 cm (adjustable), as listed under Measurements.
Q: What is Monogram Eclipse Reverse, and how does it differ from standard Eclipse? A: Monogram Eclipse features Louis Vuitton’s iconic motif in black and graphite tones. Eclipse Reverse mixes the pattern with its inverted grey-on-black panels for a two-tone effect on different parts of the bag, giving a modern, graphic look.
Q: What materials and lining does this bag have? A: It is crafted from Monogram Eclipse and Monogram Eclipse Reverse coated canvas with black leather trim, silver-tone hardware, and a black textile lining with an internal flat pocket. Coated canvas offers everyday durability while keeping the bag lightweight.
Q: How should I care for the coated canvas and hardware? A: Wipe the canvas occasionally with a soft, slightly damp cloth (mild soap only if needed), then dry immediately. Avoid alcohol-based wipes, harsh cleaners, or colour-transfer from dark textiles. Keep leather trim away from moisture and lotions. For hardware, use a dry microfibre cloth only; avoid metal polishes. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Q: There is a light vintage odour noted—any tips to reduce it? A: Air the bag in a cool, dry, shaded place. You may place odour-absorbing sachets (e.g., charcoal or bicarbonate of soda in a closed container nearby, not in direct contact) around the storage area. Avoid perfumes or deodorising sprays on the bag. Odours typically dissipate gradually with regular, gentle airing and use.
Q: What does the date code DR 4220 mean? A: The letters indicate a French factory, and the four digits denote production timing: 42nd week of 2020. Note that from 2021 many new Louis Vuitton items use a discreet microchip instead of a date code; either way, date codes alone do not authenticate an item.
Q: What accessories are included with this piece, and how do you authenticate it? A: This item includes a detachable shoulder strap and coin purse, as listed under Accessories. Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully authenticated 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 we sell.
