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 are the dimensions and what does it fit? A: Approx. 29 × 24 × 13 cm (W × H × D). It comfortably holds a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case, a small cosmetic pouch and a 500 ml water bottle. A tablet up to around 10.9 inches in a slim case can fit horizontally. A4 documents and 13-inch laptops do not fit comfortably. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact figures.
Q: Is it suitable for shoulder and cross-body wear? A: Yes. This bag includes a detachable, adjustable leather strap (approx. 50 cm drop on this piece) for shoulder or cross-body wear, plus a single top handle with a 10 cm drop for hand or crook-of-arm carry.
Q: What leather is the Lockme Ever made from, and how durable is it? A: The Lockme line is crafted from grained calf leather. It feels soft yet the textured grain helps resist light scratches from daily use. As with any supple calfskin, edges and corners can show wear over time, so avoid overfilling and treat it with care.
Q: How secure is the closure and interior? A: The flap closes with the signature LV turn-lock. Inside, the bag is lined and divided into two main compartments with an additional pocket, which helps keep belongings organised and secure for everyday use.
Q: Are there any notable signs of wear on this particular item? A: Yes. Overall Very Good pre-loved condition: slight scuffing on some corners, a light trace of use inside, and shiny silver-tone hardware with small hairline scratches. Please review the photos for the best view of these details.
Q: How should I care for the leather and hardware? A: After use, wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry cloth. Keep it away from water, oils, perfumes and dyed textiles. Store it lightly stuffed in its dust bag, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid metal polishes on the hardware; a clean microfibre cloth is sufficient.
Q: Will the bag keep its shape with regular wear? A: The leather is naturally supple, so heavy loads or long periods of under‑stuffing may lead to softening at the sides. To help preserve structure, avoid overloading, use a lightweight organiser if desired, and store the bag standing and gently padded when not in use.
Q: What does the date code AR1220 mean? A: AR indicates a French Louis Vuitton workshop. The numbers show the production period: the 12th week of 2020. Date codes are production references rather than unique serial numbers.
Q: Do newer Louis Vuitton bags still have visible date codes? A: From March 2021, Louis Vuitton began phasing out stamped date codes in favour of an internal RFID/NFC microchip. Pre‑2021 pieces like this one typically have a stamped code; newer items may not, which is normal.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: Box, dust bag, brand booklets, clochette and the detachable shoulder strap. If an accessory isn’t listed under Accessories, it is not included.
