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 Petit Noé? A: With approximate measurements of 25 × 24 × 18 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, sunglasses case, keys, a small cosmetics pouch, a 500 ml water bottle and even a compact tablet or notebook. Capacity will vary based on how you pack and whether you cinch the drawstring tightly.
Q: Can this be worn crossbody? A: The Petit Noé is designed as a shoulder bag with an adjustable strap; most people will find that wearing it crossbody sits quite high. For everyday comfort, shoulder carry is recommended.
Q: What is the history of the Murakami Monogram Multicolore and is it still produced? A: Takashi Murakami’s Monogram Multicolore debuted in 2003 and became an early‑2000s icon. Louis Vuitton officially discontinued the Multicolore line in 2015, so pieces are now available only on the pre‑owned market.
Q: What does the date code CA4097 mean on this bag? A: In Louis Vuitton date codes, the letters indicate factory location and the numbers indicate time of production. “CA” denotes a Spanish workshop. For codes used from 2007–2021, the 1st and 3rd digits show the week and the 2nd and 4th the year. “4097” therefore points to the 49th week of 2007. Note that a date code is not a unique serial number and, while helpful, is only one element of authentication alongside stamps, materials and construction.
Q: How durable is the Multicolore canvas and how should I care for it? A: The canvas is coated and durable, but the printed colours can be sensitive to abrasion and colour transfer (especially from dark denim and richly dyed fabrics). Avoid rubbing against rough surfaces, limit contact with highly pigmented materials, and wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth—avoiding scrubbing the printed areas. Avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol and oils.
Q: Will the vachetta leather darken or spot? A: Yes. The natural vachetta trim develops a honey patina over time and is sensitive to water, oils and heat. Keep it dry, avoid rain when possible, and gently wipe with a soft dry cloth after use. Prolonged sunlight may accelerate darkening; store in a cool, ventilated place when not in use.
Q: What are the main functional features of this specific piece? A: This Petit Noé features white Monogram Multicolore canvas with natural vachetta trim, gold‑tone hardware, an adjustable flat shoulder strap, a drawstring top closure, a red Alcantara interior, and an exterior side pocket for quick‑access essentials.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton replace the drawstring or strap if needed? A: Louis Vuitton offers after‑sales repairs for many leather goods, including drawstrings and straps, subject to assessment and parts availability. Repairs can be requested in store or online; lead times and costs vary by service and condition.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything that comes with the bag is listed in the product information on this page. For this listing, a luggage tag is included. If an item such as a dust bag or box is not listed there, it is not included—please contact us if you need clarification.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in‑house specialists 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 or photos upon request.
