Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Recoleta Bag? A: With measurements of approximately 25 x 12 x 6.5 cm, it is best suited to daily essentials such as a phone, a small purse or card holder, keys, lipstick and sunglasses. It is a compact shoulder bag, so bulkier items like a tablet or a large wallet will be a tight fit.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: No. This Recoleta is designed as a shoulder bag with a single flat strap. With a strap drop of approximately 19 cm, it sits neatly under the arm rather than across the body.
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 this bag be worn crossbody? A: No. This Recoleta is designed as a shoulder bag with a single flat strap. With a strap drop of approximately 19 cm, it sits neatly under the arm rather than across the body.
Q: How secure is the closure, and does it have any inside pockets? A: The bag has a magnetic flap closure for easy access and a red-lined interior with one internal pocket for smaller essentials.
Q: What is the bag made from? A: According to the product information, this piece is crafted from Damier Ebene canvas with brown leather trim and finished with brass hardware.
Q: What does the code FL 1002 mean? A: Louis Vuitton vintage bags commonly use a date code rather than a unique serial number. FL 1002 corresponds to October 2002, and the product information lists France as the country of origin.
Q: Is Damier Ebene a good choice for everyday use? A: Yes. Damier Ebene is known for being one of Louis Vuitton’s more practical finishes for regular use because the coated canvas is structured and relatively low-maintenance. This style is especially suited to carrying light everyday essentials without feeling bulky.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: Wipe the canvas gently with a soft damp cloth if needed, and avoid alcohol-based products, harsh cleaners, oils and prolonged contact with rough surfaces. When not in use, store it in its dust bag in a cool, ventilated place and avoid overfilling it so the shape stays crisp.
Q: What is the condition of this particular item? A: This bag is listed in very good condition with light traces of use. The exterior and interior both show light wear, while the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with the bag? A: A dust bag is included. For this item, everything included is shown in the product information; if another item is not listed there, it should not be assumed to be included.
