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 material and finish does this briefcase have? A: This Explorer Briefcase is crafted from Louis Vuitton Monogram Eclipse coated canvas with black leather trim and silver-tone hardware. The Monogram Eclipse line is known for its understated black and grey look, making it especially versatile for work and travel.
Q: What typically fits inside this bag? A: With approximate measurements of 38 x 30 x 9 cm, it is well suited to A4 documents, a tablet, chargers, notebooks and other daily work essentials. It may also suit many slim laptops, but laptop fit varies by model and sleeve, so we recommend comparing your device with the Measurements provided.
Q: Does this item come with a shoulder strap? A: The Explorer Briefcase model is often found with a detachable strap, but this specific piece is listed with no additional included items and no strap measurement. It is therefore best considered a handheld briefcase carried by its dual rolled handles.
Q: How is the interior organised? A: It has a zip closure, a tonal canvas lining and internal pockets, which help keep smaller essentials organised separately from documents or electronics.
Q: What condition is this briefcase in? A: It is rated in good pre-owned condition. The exterior shows scuffing on the corners, wear on the handles and some scratches, while the lining has stains. The hardware remains shiny with light surface scratches.
Q: What does the date code AR0188 mean? A: Louis Vuitton date codes from this period indicate both place and time of production. AR denotes France, and 0188 corresponds to the 8th week of 2018.
Q: Is Monogram Eclipse canvas durable for everyday use? A: Coated canvas is generally valued for being lightweight, structured and hard-wearing, which is why it is popular for business and travel bags. As with any pre-owned piece, long-term wear is usually most visible at the corners, handles and lining.
Q: How should I care for this bag? A: For routine care, gently wipe the coated canvas with a soft damp cloth and a little mildly soapy water, avoiding the leather trim. Do not use perfume, alcohol-based cleaners, leather lotion or harsh chemicals, and store the bag in a cool dry place when not in use.
Q: Can Louis Vuitton repair a pre-owned briefcase? A: Louis Vuitton offers repair services for many leather goods and handbags, subject to assessment, parts availability and any applicable fees. If you are considering a repair, it is best to have the bag assessed directly by Louis Vuitton.
