Q: How should I care for the coated canvas and leather trim?
A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth (a little mild soapy water if needed), then dry gently. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol‑based products, perfumes and leather lotions on the canvas.

Q: Does this bag have a date code?
A: Many pre‑2021 Louis Vuitton pieces have a stamped date code inside a pocket. From 2021 the brand transitioned to embedded microchips instead of visible codes, so some items do not have a readable date code. Our team authenticates using multiple indicators regardless of the presence of a code.

Q: Is there any odour I should be aware of?
A: The condition report notes a slight vintage smell. To minimise this, allow the bag to air out in a dry, ventilated space and store with odour‑absorbing sachets. Avoid spraying perfumes or strong deodorisers inside the lining.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed under product information and shown in the photos. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.

A: Each piece is rigorously vetted by our specialists through multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, markings and date code/microchip indicators where applicable. We stand behind the authenticity of every item we sell and can share additional details on request.
