Delivery & Returns
Q: Is the Batignolles Horizontal still produced by Louis Vuitton? A: This model is no longer part of Louis Vuitton’s current collection and is typically available only on the pre‑owned market. It was especially popular in the mid‑2000s.

Q: Is Louis Vuitton Monogram canvas waterproof? A: Monogram is a coated canvas that is robust and water‑resistant, but not fully waterproof. Wipe away light moisture promptly. Note that the natural Vachetta leather trim is untreated and can mark or darken with water.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and canvas? A: For canvas, wipe with a soft slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. For Vachetta, avoid water, oils and alcohol‑based cleaners; use a soft dry cloth only. Store the bag loosely stuffed with acid‑free tissue in a breathable dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to preserve shape and patina. Professional care is recommended for heavy stains.
Q: What does the date code CA1006 mean on this piece? A: On vintage Louis Vuitton, the letters indicate the workshop country and the digits indicate production period. CA corresponds to a Spanish workshop, and 1006 denotes October 2006 under the pre‑2007 month/year format. Note that the made‑in stamp on the bag remains the definitive country marking, and date codes are not unique serial numbers.
Q: Does this bag include a detachable strap, dust bag or other items? A: Everything included is always listed under the product information section of this page. If an item (for example, dust bag) is not listed there, it is not included.
Q: Are the straps comfortable on the shoulder? A: Yes, the approximately 23 cm drop is suitable for shoulder carry over light layers. As with any vintage piece, comfort can vary with body frame and how full the bag is packed.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this item? A: Every item is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, heat stamps and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all products we sell and are happy to provide further details on request.
