Designed for life on the move, the Louis Vuitton Icare Damier Graphite Camera Bag is ideal for city commutes, studio days and weekend getaways. With dual handles, a detachable adjustable strap and multiple zip compartments, it keeps essentials organised while bringing understated luxury to every look.
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 Icare Damier Graphite Camera Bag? A: Based on its compact, elongated profile (approx. 40 × 20 × 23 cm), it’s ideal for daily and camera essentials: a large smartphone, compact or mirrorless camera body with a standard zoom, 1–2 small lenses or a charger kit, a compact wallet, keys, slim sunglasses (soft case), earbuds, an A5 notebook/diary and small pouches. A 500 ml bottle and compact umbrella usually fit when placed horizontally. Capacity can vary with insert/pouches—refer to the Measurements here or ask us for a tailored fit check for this exact piece.
Q: Will it fit an iPad or laptop? A: Slim tablets (e.g., iPad, iPad Air/11‑inch iPad Pro without a bulky case) generally fit. Due to the 20 cm height and zip opening, most 13‑inch laptops are a tight fit or do not fit comfortably; smaller ultrabooks may fit only without a thick sleeve. Compare your device to our Measurements and we’ll happily test the fit in this specific bag on request.
Q: Is the shoulder strap adjustable and can I wear it crossbody? A: Yes. This piece includes a detachable, adjustable strap (approx. 58 cm drop at mid‑setting) for shoulder or high crossbody wear on most frames. Dual top handles (approx. 12 cm drop) allow hand or crook‑of‑arm carry.
Q: How secure is the closure and what is the interior/exterior layout? A: The Icare features a zip‑top main compartment with a microfibre‑lined interior and organisational pockets. Externally, it typically offers a front zipped organiser pocket (with slots for small items) and additional zipped storage, keeping essentials accessible yet secure. Our listing photos show the exact pocket configuration of this piece.
Q: Is it suitable as an airline personal item or carry‑on? A: Its footprint is well within the common cabin allowance guideline of around 56 × 45 × 25 cm, so it generally works as a personal item or small carry‑on. Policies vary by airline and fare class—please check your carrier’s rules if you plan to fly with it under the seat or overhead.
Q: What is Damier Graphite canvas and how durable is it? A: Damier Graphite is Louis Vuitton’s black/grey checked coated‑canvas, paired here with black leather trim and silver‑tone hardware. Coated canvas is light and robust with good resistance to everyday scuffs and light moisture, making it a practical choice for travel and commuting while remaining easy to wipe clean. As with all luxury materials, avoid heavy abrasion and prolonged sun/heat for best longevity.
Q: How should I care for the canvas, leather trim and hardware? A: Wipe the coated canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth (mild soapy water if needed) and dry immediately. Avoid alcohol/acetone and harsh cleaners. Keep leather trim away from oils and coloured textiles that may transfer; condition smooth leather sparingly after testing a discreet area. Store upright, lightly stuffed, in a breathable dust bag; don’t hang by the strap long‑term. Fine hairline scratches on hardware are normal with wear—avoid contact with abrasive surfaces.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton repair cracked or peeling canvas? A: Canvas cracks are uncommon but can occur from overloading, sharp flexing or environmental dryness. Louis Vuitton generally does not repair cracked coated canvas; prevention is key—don’t over‑stuff, avoid folding the bag, and store away from heat/sun. For stubborn issues, consult a reputable luxury bag specialist for care options.
Q: Is the Icare still produced? A: The Icare in Damier Graphite is most often found on the pre‑loved market today and is widely regarded as discontinued in boutiques. Availability can vary by season and region, but sourcing specific configurations like this camera‑bag style is typically via resale.
Q: Where is this piece made and what does the code RA1177 mean? A: This item is labelled Made in France. Pre‑2021 Louis Vuitton pieces include a date code: in the 2007–2021 format, the 1st & 3rd digits indicate the week and the 2nd & 4th digits the year. “RA1177” decodes to the 17th week of 2017, made in France (factory code RA). From around 2021, LV transitioned to embedded microchips rather than visible codes; date codes alone shouldn’t be used as sole proof of authenticity.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Everything included is listed under “Accessories”—for this piece we note a detachable shoulder strap. If an item (e.g., dust bag, padlock) isn’t listed, it isn’t included. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, reviewing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date code era/format and overall construction—we stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell.
