Perfect for summer brunches and city strolls, the Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Croisette adds light, polished charm to daytime looks. Carry it by the handle for smart lunches or use the strap for hands-free ease at weekend markets and gallery visits.
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 Croisette? A: Despite its compact size, it comfortably holds a long wallet, a smartphone up to around 6.7 inches, keys, a small cardholder, lipstick and slim sunglasses. Capacity depends on how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody and is the strap adjustable? A: Yes, it can be worn crossbody. The Croisette’s shoulder strap is removable but not adjustable. Louis Vuitton lists a strap drop of about 56 cm; this specific item measures approximately 60 cm drop, which suits most heights for crossbody wear.
Q: What closure does it have and how secure is it? A: It features Louis Vuitton’s signature S-lock under a flap. It is designed to fasten securely while allowing quick access when pressed to release.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, the detachable shoulder strap is included, and the Croisette design typically features a removable leather tassel; please check the product information to see exactly what is included here.
Q: What are the exact measurements of this bag? A: Approx. 23 × 16 × 8 cm (W × H × D), handle drop about 7 cm, strap drop about 60 cm. For reference, that’s roughly 9.1 × 6.3 × 3.1 inches; handle drop 2.8 inches; strap drop 23.6 inches.
Q: How should I care for Damier Azur canvas and the natural leather trim? A: Wipe coated canvas gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid chemicals and alcohol-based products. Keep the light Damier Azur away from dark or heavily dyed fabrics to minimise colour transfer. The natural cowhide leather (vachetta) is untreated and will develop a patina; avoid water exposure and store in a cool, dry place in its dust bag when not in use.
Q: Is colour transfer a concern with Damier Azur? A: Yes, because of the light canvas. To reduce risk, avoid prolonged rubbing against dark denim or other highly pigmented materials, especially when worn crossbody. If transfer occurs, seek professional care rather than using harsh home remedies.
Q: What does the date code TR2156 mean on this bag? A: The letters indicate the country and the numbers the production timing. TR corresponds to France, and 2156 decodes to the 25th week of 2016. Note that Louis Vuitton moved from date codes to microchips from 2021, but this piece predates that change.
Q: What is the condition of this specific item? A: Very Good overall with light signs of use. The interior shows some stains on the lining, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. Please review the photos for a close look at wear.
Q: Can I swap the strap for a different one? A: Yes, the strap is detachable, and many owners choose to use alternative Louis Vuitton straps for a different drop or look. If you plan to swap, ensure hardware compatibility and avoid overloading the bag.
