Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite Tadao Bag

Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite Tadao Bag?
A: With approximate measurements of 37 × 35 × 12 cm, this bag is well suited to daily essentials such as a wallet, phone, charger, notebook, tablet, sunglasses case and a compact water bottle. Its structured tote shape also makes it practical for work papers and other flat items.

Q: Will this bag fit a laptop and A4 documents?
A: Yes, it should fit A4 documents comfortably and will generally suit many 13-inch laptops, as well as some slim 14-inch models. We always recommend comparing your device’s exact measurements with the bag dimensions on this page for the best fit.

Q: How can this bag be carried?
A: This Tadao offers two carrying options. It has dual flat handles with an approximate handle drop of 14 cm, plus a detachable shoulder strap with an approximate drop of 55 cm for hands-free shoulder wear.

Q: Does the bag close securely and have internal organisation?
A: Yes. The bag has a zip closure across the top for added security, and the black canvas-lined interior includes internal pockets to help organise smaller essentials.

Q: What condition is this vintage bag in?
A: The overall condition is listed as Very Good. The exterior shows wear on the corners, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches. This is consistent with a well-kept pre-owned Louis Vuitton piece.

Q: What does the code DU0039 mean?
A: Louis Vuitton used date codes on many bags made before the 2021 switch to microchips. In this format, DU0039 indicates production details consistent with the 3rd week of 2009, and this bag is labelled as made in France. As with all Louis Vuitton bags, the date code is helpful, but it should never be used as the only authentication point.

Q: What comes with this bag?
A: According to the product information, this bag includes a detachable shoulder strap. If any other item is not listed in the product information, it should not be assumed to be included.

Q: How should a pre-owned Louis Vuitton Tadao be authenticated?
A: Authentication should be based on a full review of the bag’s construction, canvas, stitching, hardware, lining, stamps and date code format. A correct date code is useful, but on its own it is not enough to confirm authenticity.

Q: How should I care for Damier Graphite canvas and leather trim?
A: Avoid overfilling the bag, and wipe the canvas and leather gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth if needed. Avoid solvents, creams, alcohol-based products and harsh commercial cleaners. When not in use, store it in a breathable felt or dust bag in a ventilated area away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight to help preserve its shape and finish.
