An ideal companion for a weekend city break, this vintage Louis Vuitton Saumur 30 in Monogram canvas lends timeless style while keeping essentials neatly separated in its two compartments. With an adjustable shoulder strap and double-buckle closure, it suits museum visits, café hopping and relaxed evening plans alike.
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 are the measurements of the Saumur 30 and how does it compare to other sizes? A: This piece measures approximately 27 × 24 × 11 cm. In Louis Vuitton sizing, the “30” denotes a nominal width around 30 cm. The Saumur family also appeared in 35 and 43, which offer more capacity. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact figures for this item.
Q: How is the bag organised inside? A: The Saumur features two separate main compartments divided by a central gusset, with brown textile lining and a small slip pocket. Each side is secured by a front flap with buckle straps for a classic saddle‑bag look and secure closure.
Q: Is the strap suitable for crossbody wear and can it be adjusted? A: Yes. The single shoulder strap is adjustable and is commonly worn crossbody or on the shoulder. For this piece, the strap measurement is approximately 50 cm (adjustable). The strap is not designed to be detached.
Q: What typically fits inside the Saumur 30? A: Daily essentials such as a long wallet, smartphone, keys, sunglasses case and a small cosmetics pouch fit comfortably. Many users also carry an A5 diary or a compact tablet/e‑reader; capacity depends on how you split items between the two compartments.
Q: Are the buckles magnetic? A: On vintage Saumur bags like this one, the buckles are fully functional and must be unfastened to access each compartment. Louis Vuitton’s modern Saumur BB re‑edition uses a concealed magnetic closure beneath the buckle, but the vintage Saumur retains the traditional buckle system.
Q: What are the materials and how should I care for them? A: The body is Monogram coated canvas, which is durable and can be wiped with a soft, slightly damp cloth. The trim and strap are natural vachetta leather, which is untreated and develops a honey patina over time. Vachetta is sensitive to water, oils and alcohol‑based products; avoid rain exposure and direct heat/sunlight. Store the bag lightly filled in a breathable dust bag to help maintain its shape.
Q: Where will I find the date code and what does it mean? A: Most vintage Louis Vuitton bags include a small alphanumeric date code stamped on a leather tab or directly on the lining, usually tucked inside one of the compartments. The letters indicate the country of manufacture and the numbers indicate the production date. It is not a unique serial number. Since 2021, Louis Vuitton has moved to embedded microchips on newer models, but vintage pieces typically still have physical date codes.
Q: Is this considered a vintage piece? A: Yes. The Saumur is an archival Louis Vuitton design produced for many years and widely collected on the pre‑loved market. While Louis Vuitton has reinterpreted the style as the Saumur BB with modern updates, the vintage Saumur 30 offers the original double‑compartment saddle silhouette.
Q: Can the strap or hardware be repaired or replaced? A: Louis Vuitton provides repair services subject to an in‑store or online assessment, availability of parts and a cost estimate. Many owners of vintage pieces also use trusted leather specialists for strap or hardware work. If you would like guidance, our team can advise on options for this item.
Q: What is included with this item? A: As listed under product information, this bag comes with a dust bag. If an item is not listed there, it is not included.
