Perfect for weekend city strolls, brunches or gallery openings, the Louis Vuitton Monogram Loretta transitions with ease from day to evening. Monogram coated canvas and a multicolour shoulder strap add playful polish, while the top zip keeps essentials secure on the go.
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 dimensions and what typically fits inside? A: Approx. 27 × 18 × 4 cm with an approx. 53 cm strap drop. It comfortably carries a large smartphone, continental wallet, passport, keys, and a few small cosmetics. Slim tech like an e‑reader can fit; bulkier items such as a water bottle are not recommended to maintain the bag’s sleek profile. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.
Q: Can it be worn crossbody and is the strap adjustable or removable? A: The dual‑colour leather strap allows shoulder or crossbody wear for most builds. On this model the strap is not adjustable and not designed to be removed; the approximate drop is 53 cm on this specific piece.
Q: Is “Loretta” the same as the Louis Vuitton “Lorette”? A: Yes—this style is widely known as the Lorette (model code often cited as M44053). Some retailers and resellers spell it “Loretta”. The features match the Lorette: Monogram coated canvas, pink textile lining and a colourful leather shoulder strap.
Q: Is this model still available in Louis Vuitton boutiques? A: No, this design is no longer part of the current Louis Vuitton line and is typically found on the pre‑loved market.
Q: What does the date code GI1157 mean on this item? A: For Louis Vuitton items produced between 2007 and early 2021, two letters followed by four numbers indicate place and time of production. The digits in GI1157 decode to the 15th week of 2017. Date codes are not unique serial numbers and form only one part of an authentication assessment. From March 2021, Louis Vuitton moved to microchips in place of date codes on new items.
Q: What is the interior like on this piece? A: It has a pink fabric lining with one internal slip pocket as specified for this item. Configuration can vary slightly across production runs, but the interior here is as photographed and described on this page.
Q: How durable is the Monogram coated canvas and how should I care for it? A: Monogram coated canvas is light yet hard‑wearing. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals or alcohol‑based cleaners. Keep the bag lightly filled when storing, away from direct heat/sunlight. Avoid folding or over‑stuffing to prevent stress on the canvas and seams.
Q: Any special care for the colourful leather strap and trim? A: Light or vivid leather can absorb dyes from dark clothing. Minimise prolonged rubbing against non‑colourfast fabrics (e.g. new dark denim) and avoid water exposure. If needed, use a quality leather conditioner sparingly on leather parts only—never on coated canvas.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This piece comes with a luggage tag. Everything included is listed under Accessories; if an item (such as a dust bag or box) is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamping and date codes, supported by industry tools and experience. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and are happy to provide additional details on request.
