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 Serviette Ambassadeur? A: With approximate measurements of 38 × 28 × 4 cm, it comfortably holds A4 documents, a diary or organiser, a tablet, and a slim 13‑inch laptop, plus small essentials like a phone, pens and chargers. Capacity varies with how you pack; the profile is slim by design.
Q: Will it fit a 13–14 inch laptop? A: Most 13‑inch ultraportables fit well, and many slim 14‑inch models can also fit. Because 13/14 inches refers to screen diagonal rather than the laptop’s footprint, please compare your device’s width and height to the bag’s interior and avoid bulky sleeves due to the slim 4 cm depth.
Q: Does this briefcase come with a shoulder strap? A: The Serviette Ambassadeur is typically designed as a handheld briefcase with a single top handle and does not come with a shoulder strap. Any inclusions for this specific piece are listed in the product information section.
Q: What are the bag’s key features? A: A structured Epi leather exterior, front S‑lock closure, a reinforced single top handle, multiple interior compartments and pockets for documents and small items, and an exterior back slip pocket. Hardware finish can vary by production; see the product information for this piece’s details.
Q: Is Epi leather durable and how should I care for it? A: Epi leather is renowned for its textured, dyed‑through finish that is scratch‑resistant and more weather‑resistant than many smooth leathers. Care is simple: wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth, keep away from oils, solvents and prolonged direct heat/sunlight, and store loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape.
Q: Is the lock functional and are keys included? A: The front S‑lock is a functional key lock. Everything included with this item is listed in the product information section; for this piece, a key is included.
Q: Where is the date code and what does it mean? A: On vintage Louis Vuitton pieces, the date code is usually stamped on a small leather tab inside the bag or directly on the lining near an interior pocket. It indicates where and when the item was made; it is not a unique serial number. Note that from 2021 onwards many new LV items use microchip identifiers instead of date codes, but vintage briefcases like this typically still have them (they can fade with time).
Q: Can Louis Vuitton service or repair a vintage briefcase like this? A: Yes. Louis Vuitton offers repair services assessed case‑by‑case through their Care Service, available in‑store and via online request in many regions. Costs and feasibility depend on the work required; a Care Expert will provide an estimate before proceeding.
Q: What exactly is included with this item? A: Please refer to the product information section on this page. Only items explicitly listed there are included with the purchase; if an item (for example, a dust bag or strap) is not listed, it is not included unless stated otherwise.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps and date codes where applicable. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
