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 Eva clutch? A: It comfortably carries daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet or card holder, keys, and a lipstick. Capacity depends on how you pack; please refer to the Measurements on this page (approx. 25 × 13.5 × 2 cm) to judge your own items.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody as well as on the shoulder? A: Yes. This piece includes a detachable leather strap for shoulder or crossbody wear and a chain strap for hand/shoulder carry. The leather strap drop is approximately 62 cm and the chain drop is approximately 20 cm, as listed in the Measurements.
Q: Is the chain fully removable? A: On most vintage Eva models (including those from the late 2000s), the chain is fixed on one side with a clasp on the other. You can clip it to one ring to create a wristlet look, but the chain is not fully removable on both ends. The leather strap is detachable.
Q: Is the Eva clutch still in production? A: The original Eva from the late 2000s is discontinued. Louis Vuitton has introduced a modern Pochette Eva in recent seasons, but availability varies by region and timing. This listing is an authentic vintage/pre‑loved piece.
Q: What does the date code DU5008 mean? A: DU denotes a French factory. With the 2007–2020 format, the first and third digits indicate the production week and the second and fourth the year. DU5008 translates to week 50 of 2008 in France.
Q: What materials is it made from? A: Monogram coated canvas with natural Vachetta cowhide leather trim, a textile lining, and gold‑tone brass hardware. Coated canvas is durable and light; Vachetta is untreated leather that will develop a honey patina over time.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta and canvas? A: Keep the bag away from water, oils, perfumes, and prolonged direct sunlight or heat. Wipe canvas with a soft, light‑coloured cloth; avoid soaps or solvents. Store it loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape and minimise creasing. Handle Vachetta with clean, dry hands to reduce darkening and water spots.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under the product information on this page. For this piece, a detachable shoulder strap is included. If you need clarification, please contact us before purchase.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is vetted by specialists using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, heat stamps, hardware, date code, and construction, supported by industry tools and expertise. Note that a date code alone does not guarantee authenticity; it is one of several checkpoints.
Q: Are there any notable signs of wear I should expect? A: This item is in Good condition. The Vachetta leather shows an even patina and there is light scuffing at the corners; the interior shows light signs of use; hardware remains shiny with minor hairline scratches. Please review the photos for a close look.
