Q: What typically fits inside the Navona?
A: With a compact footprint of approximately 21 × 12 × 4 cm, it comfortably holds a large smartphone, small wallet or card holder, keys and a few cosmetics. Because the sides and base are structured, capacity is slightly more limited than a classic Pochette Accessoires—packing slim items gives the best result.
Q: Is the strap adjustable or removable?
A: The Navona has a single flat leather shoulder strap with a drop of about 17 cm. It is not adjustable. The strap attaches with a clasp on one side, so it can be detached to carry as a clutch or to swap in another compatible strap.
Q: How does the Navona differ from the Pochette Accessoires?
A: The Navona features smooth leather sides and base, giving a slightly more structured silhouette and a touch less capacity than the Pochette Accessoires. Its strap drop is also a little longer on most examples.
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: Can I wear it crossbody with a longer strap?
A: Not with the original strap. Many owners add a longer, thin strap by clipping it to the existing ring so it can be worn crossbody. Choose a narrow strap to suit the small D-ring and always check hardware compatibility.
Q: Is the Navona still produced by Louis Vuitton?
A: No—the Navona is a vintage, discontinued style and is now found on the pre‑loved market.
Q: How does the Navona differ from the Pochette Accessoires?
A: The Navona features smooth leather sides and base, giving a slightly more structured silhouette and a touch less capacity than the Pochette Accessoires. Its strap drop is also a little longer on most examples.
Q: What does the date code FL1024 mean on this piece?
A: For items made between 1990 and 2006, the first and third numbers indicate the month and the second and fourth indicate the year. FL1024 decodes to December 2004, and the letters FL denote manufacture in France. Date codes are helpful for dating but are not unique serial numbers and should not be used alone to authenticate a bag.
Q: What materials is this bag made from?
A: It is crafted in Damier Ebene coated canvas with smooth brown leather trim and brass‑tone hardware, with a red textile lining. Coated canvas is durable and water‑resistant, while the leather adds structure and polish.
Q: How should I care for Damier Ebene canvas and leather trim?
A: Wipe the canvas with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry gently. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol‑based cleaners and colour transfer from dark fabrics. Do not overfill; store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from heat and direct sunlight.
Q: Does it have interior pockets?
A: The Navona typically has a single, open main compartment without interior pockets, lined in red/burgundy textile.
Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. If a dust bag, box or extras are not listed there, they are not included—feel free to contact us if you would like us to confirm what is present.
