Q: What are the approximate dimensions of the Damier Recoleta?
A: The Recoleta is a compact east–west shoulder bag measuring about 26 × 12 × 7 cm, with a short shoulder drop around 18–20 cm. Please see the Measurements on this page for this specific piece (listed at 26 × 12 × 7 cm and an 18 cm strap drop).

Q: What typically fits inside?
A: Daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact or small folding wallet, keys, lip balm, and a slim sunglasses sleeve fit comfortably. A long continental wallet fits snugly. Larger items like water bottles, iPads/tablets, or bulky cases are not recommended due to the bag’s height and structured shape.

Q: Can it be worn cross-body or is the strap adjustable?
A: The Recoleta is designed as a short-shoulder/under‑arm baguette. The strap is not designed for cross‑body wear and is generally not detachable; adjustability, if any, is minimal. Some third‑party straps exist on the market, but using non‑original parts may affect comfort or put stress on the hardware—use at your discretion.

Q: What is the material and lining?
A: It is crafted from Louis Vuitton’s Damier Ebene coated canvas with dark brown leather trim and brass‑tone hardware. The interior is lined in Alcantara microfibre with a small slip pocket.

Q: How secure is the closure?
A: The flap features a magnetic snap closure that keeps essentials secure while allowing quick access.

Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene canvas and Alcantara lining?
A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol‑based products, or leather creams on the canvas. Keep leather trim away from prolonged moisture and heat. For Alcantara lining, gently brush or vacuum to remove lint; spot‑clean with a lightly dampened cloth and allow to air dry. Store the bag lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity.

Q: What does the date code FL0023 mean?
A: In Louis Vuitton’s 1990–2006 format, the first and third digits indicate the month and the second and fourth indicate the year. FL denotes France, so FL0023 indicates French production in February 2003. Note that date codes are not unique serial numbers and, from 2021 onward, LV began phasing in microchips on new pieces.

Q: Is this style considered vintage or discontinued?
A: Yes—Recoleta bags are associated with the early 2000s era and are no longer sold in Louis Vuitton boutiques. The silhouette has inspired more recent designs (for example, the Ivy wallet‑on‑chain).

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. If a dust bag, box or similar extra is not listed there, it is not included. For this specific piece, the product information indicates no extras are included.

Q: How do you authenticate this bag?
A: Every piece at A Retro Tale is carefully reviewed by 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 and can provide additional product information on request.
