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 Monogram Multicolore Audra? A: With approximate measurements of 25 × 20 × 14 cm, it comfortably holds daily essentials: a large smartphone, compact or continental wallet, keys, slim sunglasses in a soft case, wireless earbuds and a small cosmetics pouch. A compact tablet or e‑reader may fit depending on its case and how you organise the interior. If you’d like a tailored fit check for this specific piece, just ask and we’ll test it for you.
Q: Can I wear it on the shoulder or crossbody? A: The Audra features dual rolled leather and chain‑link handles designed for hand, crook‑of‑arm and shoulder carry. It is not intended for crossbody wear and does not include a long crossbody strap. The handle drop on this piece is about 20 cm—contact us if you’d like advice on how it will sit on you.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior layout? A: The Audra is an open‑top style for quick access. Inside, you’ll typically find a taupe Alcantara (microfibre) lining with two pockets for small valuables or travel cards. For commuting, we recommend keeping the bag upright and using a small zip pouch for added security.
Q: What is Louis Vuitton’s Monogram Multicolore, and when was it introduced? A: Monogram Multicolore is the colourful reinterpretation of LV’s classic monogram created with artist Takashi Murakami under Marc Jacobs. It debuted for Spring/Summer 2003 and became a defining Y2K icon. This piece is in the Noir (black) Multicolore canvas with natural vachetta leather trim and gold‑tone hardware.
Q: Is the Multicolore line still produced? A: The original Monogram Multicolore line was discontinued in 2015 and is no longer in regular production. Vintage and pre‑loved pieces like this Audra are the best way to add Multicolore to your wardrobe.
Q: How should I care for the vachetta leather and coated canvas? A: Keep vachetta away from water and oils; it’s an untreated, vegetable‑tanned leather that darkens (patinas) naturally over time. If it gets lightly damp, blot—don’t rub—and allow to air‑dry away from heat. Use a high‑quality neutral conditioner sparingly on leather only after testing on a discreet area. The coated canvas can be wiped gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store the bag upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag, and avoid prolonged contact with dark denim or abrasive surfaces.
Q: Will the colourful print rub off or is colour transfer a concern? A: The Multicolore pattern is printed on durable coated canvas, which resists everyday scuffs. Colour transfer is uncommon on the canvas itself but can occur on the light vachetta leather; take care with dark or freshly dyed fabrics and avoid friction against rough surfaces.
Q: What does the date code TH1005 mean on this bag? A: “TH” indicates manufacture in France. For the 1990–2006 format, the four digits encode month and year—TH1005 decodes to October 2005. Note that from around 2021 Louis Vuitton transitioned from visible date codes to embedded microchips on newer items, but vintage pieces like this one retain the stamped code.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing includes a dust bag. If an accessory isn’t mentioned under “Accessories,” it isn’t included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: How do you authenticate this piece? A: Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, logo stamps, date code/microchip information and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
