Q: How big is it and what will it hold day to day? A: Approximate measurements are 38 cm width × 34 cm height × 24 cm depth with a strap drop around 17 cm (about 15.0 × 13.4 × 9.4 inches; drop ~6.7 inches). It comfortably takes an A4 folder or 13‑inch laptop in a slim sleeve, a large wallet, phone, cosmetics pouch, and a water bottle. A slim 15‑inch device may fit depending on the sleeve and how the bag is packed—please compare your device’s measurements to the opening and interior dimensions.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody? A: The Whisper’s dual chain‑and‑leather shoulder straps are fixed‑length and designed for shoulder carry. It is not intended to be worn crossbody. Some owners add third‑party straps to hardware rings, but this is a personal modification and may affect comfort or wear; use discretion.
Q: How does the interior layout/closure typically work on the Whisper? A: Layout can vary slightly by size and material. Many GM examples feature three interior sections with a central zipped compartment, while PM versions may have a simpler single compartment with pocketing. Our product information for this piece notes a tassel lock closure; please refer to the photos to see the exact configuration you will receive.
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.

Delivery & Returns
Q: What is the Louis Vuitton Paris Souple Whisper and when was it released? A: The Whisper is a limited, runway-era Louis Vuitton tote/shoulder bag introduced for the Autumn/Winter 2008 season under Marc Jacobs. It is no longer in current production and is now sought after on the pre-owned market.
Q: What are the key features of this specific piece? A: This item is crafted in brown embossed leather with gold-toned hardware, dual chain‑link and leather shoulder straps, a decorative tassel detail, and a brown suede (Alcantara) lining with one internal pocket. Our product information notes a tassel lock closure. Please review the photos for the exact layout and details of this piece.
Q: How big is it and what will it hold day to day? A: Approximate measurements are 38 cm width × 34 cm height × 24 cm depth with a strap drop around 17 cm (about 15.0 × 13.4 × 9.4 inches; drop ~6.7 inches). It comfortably takes an A4 folder or 13‑inch laptop in a slim sleeve, a large wallet, phone, cosmetics pouch, and a water bottle. A slim 15‑inch device may fit depending on the sleeve and how the bag is packed—please compare your device’s measurements to the opening and interior dimensions.
Q: Is the strap adjustable and can it be worn crossbody? A: The Whisper’s dual chain‑and‑leather shoulder straps are fixed‑length and designed for shoulder carry. It is not intended to be worn crossbody. Some owners add third‑party straps to hardware rings, but this is a personal modification and may affect comfort or wear; use discretion.
Q: How does the interior layout/closure typically work on the Whisper? A: Layout can vary slightly by size and material. Many GM examples feature three interior sections with a central zipped compartment, while PM versions may have a simpler single compartment with pocketing. Our product information for this piece notes a tassel lock closure; please refer to the photos to see the exact configuration you will receive.
Q: What does the date code FL2058 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes use two letters for the factory location and numbers for when it was made. In the 2007–2021 format, the first and third digits indicate the week and the second and fourth digits indicate the year. FL2058 decodes to the 25th week of 2008, and FL is a code used for production in France. Date codes are not unique serial numbers but production markers, and they should align with the “Made in” stamp (this piece is labelled France).
Q: How should I care for the embossed leather and Alcantara lining? A: For the leather exterior, wipe with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaners; condition sparingly with a leather‑safe product a few times per year. Keep away from oils, solvents, and prolonged direct sunlight/heat, and store stuffed in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape. For Alcantara (micro‑suede) lining, gently brush away dry debris and spot clean lightly with a barely damp cloth; allow to air‑dry fully. Avoid overwetting the lining.
Q: Are the chain straps comfortable for daily use? A: The straps include leather shoulder pads to improve comfort. As with any chain‑accented shoulder bag, the strap can feel firm if the bag is heavily loaded. For the most comfortable carry, avoid overpacking and position the pad flat on the shoulder.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed in the product information on this page. For this listing, it is noted as coming with no additional items. If you need clarification, please contact us and we’ll be happy to confirm what’s in the package.
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every piece at A Retro Tale undergoes multi‑point inspection by our in‑house experts, including materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, and date code analysis. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can provide further details on request.
