Q: What typically fits inside this Batignolles bag? A: This compact model (approx. 23 × 25 × 15 cm) is designed for daily essentials rather than large documents. It comfortably holds a large smartphone, a continental or compact wallet, a cosmetics pouch, keys, and sunglasses. A small tablet (like an iPad Mini or Kindle) can fit, but larger tablets and A4 folders generally do not. Please refer to the Measurements on this page to ensure it suits your needs.
Q: Can I wear this bag on my shoulder? A: This specific model features a handle drop of approximately 14 cm, which is designed for hand carry or carrying in the crook of the arm. It is generally too tight to wear comfortably on the shoulder, unlike the larger Batignolles Vertical or Horizontal models. It serves best as a chic handheld tote.
Q: What is the interior layout? A: The interior is lined in brown canvas and typically features a main compartment with one flat slip pocket and a smaller mobile phone pocket (sized for older phones, but useful for lipsticks or cards). A D-ring is also present inside, perfect for attaching a key holder or pouch.
Q: Is this model still produced? A: The original Batignolles line (including the Vertical, Horizontal, and this handheld PM size) has been discontinued by Louis Vuitton, making it a sought-after vintage piece. The pre-loved market is the only way to acquire this classic design.
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.

It is generally too tight to wear comfortably on the shoulder, unlike the larger Batignolles Vertical or Horizontal models. It serves best as a chic handheld tote.
Q: Are the side buckles functional? A: Yes, the leather straps with gold-tone buckles on the sides are functional gussets. You can loosen them to expand the bag’s opening for easier access or extra capacity, or tighten them for a more structured, tapered silhouette.
Q: How secure is the closure? A: The bag features an open-top design secured by a central gold-tone hook clasp. This offers easy access to your belongings while keeping the sides pulled together. For valuable items like keys or cards, we recommend using the interior pocket or a separate zipped pouch.
Q: What is the interior layout? A: The interior is lined in brown canvas and typically features a main compartment with one flat slip pocket and a smaller mobile phone pocket (sized for older phones, but useful for lipsticks or cards). A D-ring is also present inside, perfect for attaching a key holder or pouch.
Q: What does the date code VI0016 mean? A: The date code VI0016 indicates that this specific piece was manufactured in France in the 1st week or January of 2006. You can typically find this code stamped on a leather tag inside the interior pocket or along a seam.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather trim? A: The handle and trim are made of Vachetta (natural cowhide leather), which darkens to a honey patina over time and is sensitive to water and oils. Avoid contact with hand creams, perfumes, and rain. If it gets lightly wet, blot (do not rub) with a soft, lint-free cloth immediately. Store the bag upright in a breathable dust bag when not in use.
Q: Is this model still produced? A: The original Batignolles line (including the Vertical, Horizontal, and this handheld PM size) has been discontinued by Louis Vuitton, making it a sought-after vintage piece. The pre-loved market is the only way to acquire this classic design.
Q: How do you authenticate this item? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide additional details on request.
