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 is the Louis Vuitton Cup Sac Marin Bandoulière? A: A limited-edition, regatta-inspired shoulder duffle from the Louis Vuitton Cup line, recognisable by its blue nautical flag motif and tan leather trim. It offers a sporty, unisex look with a top handle and an adjustable shoulder strap, and a spacious fabric-lined interior suitable for daily or light-travel use.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: Based on the approximate measurements (H 35 × W 30 × D 34 cm), it comfortably holds gym kit or a change of clothes, a water bottle, a toiletry pouch, a small camera, and travel documents. A 13-inch laptop in a slim sleeve can fit, but due to the soft, rounded shape, rectangular items may fit best diagonally. Always refer to the Measurements on this page and avoid overfilling to maintain the bag’s structure.
Q: Is it suitable as airline cabin baggage? A: It is a soft-sided bag of compact height and width and can work as a personal or cabin bag on many airlines when not overstuffed. Policies vary by carrier and aircraft, so please check your airline’s current cabin size limits before travelling.
Q: What does the date code NO1911 mean? A: The letters indicate the country/factory and the numbers indicate the month and year (1990–2006 format). “NO” corresponds to a French factory and “1911” decodes to November 1991. Louis Vuitton used such date codes until they moved to embedded microchips in 2021; date codes assist with dating but are not proof of authenticity on their own.
Q: What does “Bandoulière” mean? A: Bandoulière is French for a shoulder-strap style. This model is designed to be worn on the shoulder via its adjustable strap or carried by the top handle.
Q: What is the material like, and is it water-resistant? A: LV Cup pieces commonly feature durable coated canvas with untreated vachetta leather trim. Coated canvas is water-resistant and easy to wipe clean, but the natural vachetta leather will darken (patina) and can mark with water—avoid rain and liquids on the leather parts.
Q: How should I care for this vintage piece? A: Wipe the coated exterior gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid chemical cleaners and leather conditioners on the canvas. Keep the vachetta leather away from moisture and oils; allow it to air dry if it gets damp. Store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and heat, to help it keep its shape.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and how does it wear on the body? A: Yes, the shoulder strap is adjustable (approx. 28 cm drop on this piece) and the top handle has about a 10 cm drop. Most clients wear it on the shoulder or hand-carry it; fit will vary by build and strap setting.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This listing includes no accessories. Anything included is always listed under Accessories on this page—if it’s not listed, it is not included.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, construction, hardware, stamps and date code consistency. We stand behind the authenticity of all items and can share additional photos or details on request.
