START SELLING
Louis Vuitton Monogram Batignolles Horizontal Tote Bag
This vintage Louis Vuitton Batignolles Horizontal tote in Monogram canvas with Vachetta leather trim and brass hardware is in very good condition, with a visible patina and light watermarks on the handles. Spacious and timeless, it is ideal for workdays, city outings or travel, bringing classic Louis Vuitton style to everyday dressing.
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: What typically fits inside the Batignolles Horizontal? A: With approximate measurements of 37 x 24 x 13 cm, it generally fits A4 papers, a long wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, a small cosmetics pouch and a 500 ml water bottle. It works well as an everyday or work tote, depending on how you pack.
Q: Will it fit a laptop? A: It will usually fit a 13-inch laptop or tablet in a slim sleeve. Some very slim 14-inch laptops may fit, but a 15-inch laptop is usually too tall for the 24 cm height. Please compare your device measurements with the dimensions on this page before purchasing.
Q: Is it comfortable to carry on the shoulder? A: Yes, this model is designed as a shoulder tote. With an approximate strap drop of 24 cm, it usually sits comfortably under the arm for daily use, though it may feel snug over bulky coats.
Q: How does the bag close? A: The Batignolles Horizontal has an open top with a central hook closure rather than a full zip. The side gussets can be adjusted to slightly cinch the opening, but many owners also use an organiser or pouch inside for extra security.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: This model has a brown canvas lining with internal pockets for smaller essentials. On Batignolles Horizontal bags these are typically a zipped pocket and a slip or mobile phone pocket, and the photos and product information show the layout of this specific piece.
Q: Is the Batignolles Horizontal discontinued? A: Yes, the Batignolles Horizontal is a discontinued Louis Vuitton model, which is why it is now found mainly on the pre-loved and vintage market.
Q: What does the date code SD0057 tell me? A: The code places this bag in 2007 and is consistent with a Made in France vintage Louis Vuitton piece. As with all Louis Vuitton bags, the date code helps with dating the item but is not the only element used to assess authenticity.
Q: How should I care for the Vachetta leather and patina? A: Vachetta naturally darkens over time and may show watermarks, which are common on vintage Louis Vuitton bags. Store the bag away from direct sunlight and humidity, avoid rain where possible, and wipe the canvas gently with a soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners or oils on the leather.
Q: What condition should I expect from this specific bag? A: This bag is listed in very good condition. The Vachetta leather shows a visible patina and light watermarks on the handles, the interior has light traces of use, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.
Q: What is included with this item? A: No additional items are listed in the product information for this piece, so it should be considered bag only unless otherwise stated.
